Mucho Mean Girl

Everything was going smoothly with your friend, but then she starts hanging with the mean girls at school. She keeps putting down you and all of your friends and acting like she is better than you!  Your other friends don’t see her new ‘tude as a big deal but its really upsetting you.


Ok. I used to be friends with this one girl in my class, but then she started hanging out with other girls that weren't all that nice. She started acting really bratty to me and all my friends. She wanted to give my one friend a makeover and basically told her she was ugly and she couldn't wait to make her kind of pretty. She's been putting down my friends and me. One of my friends doesn't care that this is happening, but it really hurts me.


BFF Fix-it: Don’t let this diva put you down! It sounds to me like your friend needs to seriously snap back to reality.  Calling your friend ugly shows her insecurity. She is most likely jealous of your group and wants to be welcomed back into it.  She thinks that by trying to act cooler than you will make her friendship more appealing to you and your friends. Talk to your friend that doesn’t care and tell her how much this is upsetting you. If she is your true friend she will see why you’re so upset and want to help you talk to your former pal.


Next time she puts your or a friend down, stick up to her and hold your ground! She’ll be shocked, embarrassed, and will most likely stop trying so hard to seem cool.  If she doesn’t, try to talk to her and ask her why she keeps putting you and your group down. If her behavior continues kick her to the curb and show her that you will not tolerate her new ‘tude.
