ok so I have a friend at school and I have been friends with her for...about 3 years. She's funny and I like talking with her, but sometimes she just really gets on my nerves....

Like one day I took a shower and when I tried my hair, my towel left a lot of white pieces of fluffy stuff in it. I got all I could out of it and went to school. When my friend saw it, she said, "Uh I think you have dandruff in your hair", just loud enough for some other people to hear.

And so I told her my towel did it and she was like, "No, I think it's dandruff", out loud again.

And one time she looked at m and said, "ew you have drool marks near your mouth!" out loud, of course. I felt embarrassed and tried hard to rub it off, causing it to turn a little red from rubbing. She kept saying, "Nope it's still there." I looked in the mirror and nothing was there! Apparently she thought it was funny.

And another time, when we were in the school auditorium for a talent show, we sat down and she said, "I can't see!" I said, "try sitting higher up in your seat." And then she stood up and told me to switch seats. i was comfortable where I was; I could see pretty well. I'm not as picky as some people, so I didn't mind if I couldn't see perfectly. So she said, "Here, switch seats! I can't see in this one!" So she wants to give me her seat because it's not good enough, and she gets my seat? It's not my fault she had to sit near the end!

She kept telling me to move and I felt that she was being so selfish; she was only thinking that SHE wanted the good seat and didn't care if i could see or not.

So finally moved because she kept sitting on me. And then she told me to move again because that seat wasn't good enough.
Later during the show, she kicked my leg with her foot, just trying to be funny. at first it was, but then she kept doing it. I told her to stop because it was getting annoying, but she kept doing it. I said, "why are you kicking me?!" and she said, "because i want to". It was as if she was bored and found it fun to kick me when o told her that it hurt.

Oh and one time I bought a new shirt and wore it to school. When she saw it, she was like, "Um why are you wearing that?" and she gave me that look that said, "That is so weird and not cool..."

I said, "h because i want to and I like it...?" she said, "oh my god." as if I had done something wrong.

And just today, I curled my hair and she asked in a critizing voice, "um why did you curl your hair?" and i answered, "I don't know...I just felt like it...?" what other reason would I curl my hair? do I have to have a reason?

And she's ALWAYS trying to control me! wherever she sits at lunch, I HAVE to sit nearby her. When we are in line for lunch and if she's farther behind me in the line because she got there later, she tries to get me to come stand next to her. No way! I'm not loosing my spot in line after practically running to get that spot!

Oh and what really gets on my nerves is that she brags about where she bought her clothes that she gets; she gets them from Aeropostale and JC Penny. I usually get mine from Wal-Mart, because they are cheaper and are actually just as nice as the other brands, and when I told her that, she was like, "oh my god. I never go to Wal-Mart!"

Gee that's great; so what if I wear clothes from Wal-Mart? She acts like that's "sooooo uncool".
hmm.png


But anyway, sure we have had some good times together; we sit with each other at lunch, we sit with each other on the bus on field trips, etc. and we've had a fun sleepover with other friends. But seriously, I think that she's waaayyy too attached and shound't be so nosy all the time.

Oh and did I mention that when we leave to the bus, she has to hold onto my armor shirt until we reach the buses.

And whenever we watch a play or go on a field trip, she HAS to sit next to me! Seriously it gets annoying.

Any advice or oppinions?
Thanks!

I call people like that frenemies and I am in the process of teaching my daughter how to spot them and how to steer clear.

People who [pretend to be your friend and then put you down all the time are not friends. They are putting you down to make themselves feel better. It simply means that they are terribly insecure.

It is all but impossible not to feel embarrassed when people do things like that to you, but I used to say, "Wow, you must be really insecure to need to be that nasty!" And walk away. "mean people are optional!" And walk away.

I am very very sorry that you are going through this. It IS hard. But it is also over sooner than you think possible at this point. Anyone who tells you these are the best years of your life is to be seriously pitied! The best part is an out of control body, raging hormones, insecurity and it is over at 18???!?!?! Please!!

I refuse to believe that my best years have even come yet and I am 45!

You have to determine the boundaries you set for her. She is more of a cling on than a friend to you.

Yep. I know i should let her know when I'm annoyed with her but I'm one of those "keep-feelings-bottled-up" person.

And I get emotional really quickly if stressed.

I would rather get it out and not be stressed. Stand up for yourself or stamp DOORMAT on your forehead. It's pretty black and white. You are either going to let her continue to be rude to you and you aren't. I prefer to see that you don't put up with it.

Yeah I know you're right. I might as well stamp "DOORMAT" on my head.

ughh why am I cursed with this feeling to always be nice to people???!!! I'm glad I'm kind to people, but sometimes I'm just too kind to stand up for myself.

Being kind is a good thing. However you need to recognize that someone making fun of you or making you the butt of a joke is not kind and nor do you NEED to be kind in return. Once you can stand up for yourself, you will feel so much better!!!!!

Next time she tells you that you have something on your face, tell her "Oh by the way you have had lettuce in your teeth since lunch"
