My 17 year old friend acts like a child. (Sorry, it's a little long)
Question Posted Sunday November 27 2011, 5:51 pm
I've been friends with this girl for about three years now and even though she's always been immiture about certain things we've become very close. Usually we can have real conversations and have fun, but lately she's been acting even more immiture than usual. She makes everything about herself and if she doesn't get her way she throws a tantrum. She's afraid of just about everything and will throw a full out screaming crying on the floor fit if you try to get her to do anything outside of her "comfort zone" but once she does it she has fun. She refuses to compromise on things as simple as turing of the television or even turning it down. If you try and correct her on something she says she acts like you're personally insaulting her. The worst part is she talks about throwing tantrums around her parents (for things like not letting her play with dolls and what not) like it's something to be proud of.
I've tried talking to her about it, but I'm running out of patience, and it's not like I can just ignore her. She's homeschooled and I'm out of highschool (even though I'm still 16) and we are in a situation where we have to have at least a good working relationship.
I'd appreciate any and all advice, I'm just about at the end of my rope with her.
