I have this friend who's been around for about 2 years now. Lately though every time I mispronounce a word or something she gives me an unimpressed look, and says it the answer as if it was obvious. She also says little snide remarks sometimes that really get on my nerves and make me furious. For example when I told her how sad I was to see the bookstore (one of my favorite places) close, she said, "You'll live" and went back to what she was reading. Lately she's been inviting me over to her house non-stop (she gets lonely easily) but I just don't really feel like going anymore. I don't want to hurt her feelings but I don't enjoy being around her as much. Is there any way that we can repair our friendship? – Maia, 13, USA |

| My best friend has started to lie to me and steal things and keeps taking everything as a joke. Then she took it too far by ruining my 10th birthday. She started making fun of my face and took control of my party - telling us what we should do instead of me. It was a disaster. I got tired of it so I told her I was tired of it and I don’t want to be her friend anymore. She got mad and kept calling me, but I didn’t pick up. Then the same week my mom told me that my ex-best friend’s mom had been telling lies about my mom and telling people that my mom said these things when she didn't. My mom doesn’t want me to be friends with her. But I sorta do want to make up because I used to have a lot of fun with her, and now I have no friend like her to play with. We had so much in common and like the same things. I don't know what to do! – Antoniya, 11, Texas |

| My friend and I have been best friends since pre-school and her mom and my mom have been really good friends even longer. The problem is that during the middle of the school year, she started to sit at the other table that is full of girls at lunch. They are all white and a bit racist. I don't have anything against people with different skin colors. It's just the fact that they only hang out with each other and do everything with each other. I mean EVERYTHING. My so-called best friend was hanging around with them more than us me. I was OK with her making new friends, but it started to take away her from us. Soon, she was with them all the time. My friends and I have talked about it at slumber parties she wasn't at. Then I started to notice another thing. The boys were taking interest in her. Not like the crush interest, but the walk by out of nowhere and give her a high-five. This is a whole different side of her. She's not hanging out with us, she’s spending all her time with them, she shakes it for the boys. It's the beginning of summer break now. Because she is African American, she is not fully accepted into that clique, so she probably won’t be hanging out with them over the summer. How do I break this all to her? Will that bring things back to normal? I don't care if she makes new friend. I do care that they steal her. What do I do? – Mimi, 12, USA |

| I met this girl named Yazmin at my school and she was one of my best friends. After a couple weeks, my friends kept on telling me that Yazmin was talking behind my back. But I didn't believe them because she doesn't seem like the type of person that would do that. But then, my other best friend Xena told me that she did talk behind my back. That's when I believed her because she and Yazmin are best friends also. I asked her what she said about me, but then she wouldn't tell me because its gonna hurt my feelings. I told her I won't care if it hurts my feelings or not because at least I got to know what she said. But she still won't tell me. What should I do? I just wanna get this off my chest. – Erika, 13, USA |
