Copy cat: friend has been copying me lately
I have a friend and she has been copying me lately. Everytime I put something really cool she copy's it. And it sucks cause she acts like she's better then me sometimes and I just want to win sometime so I put something funny on my Facebook or I'll txt her something and then she copys it. It's so annoying. Everytime I'm about to tell her I get mad when she copies me I don't say anything cause I'm scared she might get mad and tht will mess up our friendship or she'll tell her mom and if we become friends again ( like normal ) and I go to her house her mom will give me some stupid lecture and crap. I just want her to be herself. And now she want contacts cause she think she looks nerdy but I think she look perfectly fine with glasses. I just don't want someone who is copying me and the weird thing is, we've been friends for a long time and she is all of a sudden copying me. Idk y she just can't be herself.
Can someone help me cause I don't like being copied and I also don't want a stupid lecture.

Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
She sounds very self-conscious and lacking in confidence. She's looking for a role model to follow, somebody she sees as successful in most things - clothes, humour, music and she's chosen you!
Although annoying, she's actually flattering you, as she likes your ideas and copies them, 'imitation being the sincerest form of flattery.'
Go shopping with her and maybe other girlfriends, sncourage her to find her own style, in colour, Many teenagers go through this phase so you're not alonetrend or whatever.
Many teenagers go through this phase so you aren't alone. As you get older, you may both change your tastes in many areas, even friends!
SO hard as it seems, 'this too will pass.'
Hope this helps, best wishes X.
