She Hurts My Feelings and Just Won't Listen!

My best friend and I are like sisters. We have everything in common and we even look alike. She always tries to make me feel so jealous of her, and it works, too! She can be very show-offy, conceited and self-centered. I've tried everything, telling her the way I feel, writing her notes, and even e-mailing her! But nothing I do seems to get through to her. She just won't listen. How can I get through to her? Is there something else I should have tried? - Macie, 13, Alabama

"Hey, Macie!" Well, obviously you have tried talking to your friend, and she hasn't gotten the point. First of all, I recommend that you don't let her get to you. You must realize that when most people try to show off, they are just doing it so they can feel better about themselves. Whatever you do, don't let her bring you down. If jealousy is a problem, then maybe you should show the world what you've got! Shine sister shine, but don't let it get to your head either, or you'll end up just like your friend. As for your friend, people will soon come to realize her show-off manner and think much less of her and ,like you, not enjoy being in her presensce when she is like this. Hopefully, she'll get the point, but if she doesn't then don't worry, she is no better than you are!

Still Stuck?

1.. Try working it out with your friend, not just a quick email or note.
2.. Don't be angry with her, she could be feeling down, and just doing this to feel better about herself!
3.. If it never stops, don't let it bug you, just realize that this is the kind of person she is. No one ever said it was wrong to think highly of yourself!

I hope my advice has helped!
