Please help!

I have this very annoying 'friend' who had been bothering me a lot recently. 1) She is ALWAYS calling me! She calls about 2-3 times a day, asking if I want to hang out(which I don't, cause she's mean to me).If we hang out on Monday, she's calling me Monday night for a sleepover on Tuesday. She also expects me to blow a lot of my money when I'm with her, because we always go shopping or get our nails done etc. I'm saving up for something, so she isn't helping. 2)She's really pushy. She keeps on nagging and nagging until I just get so tired of saying no, I give in. If I bring this up, she says' Oh, ya right'. She is a control freak and bosses her poor dad around, and she's 15!3) She makes fun of my family and I. She almost' enjoys' to tease me in front of her friends who I don't know. My mom said it's because she is insecure, but she seems to have it really good. The girl said my mom was crazy, that my family is weird, and is constantly rudely sarcastic with me. My family barely knows her!!!

Please help me out. When she teases me-how do I stand up for myself and my other friends and family? When she is nagging me (she's reaaallly pushy) ,how do I tell her to cut it out? how do I tell her to stop calling(we just ingore the calls, but I think she's suspecting something). Please, this girl is driving me absolutely insane!

I think you might need to find other friends to hang with.  This girl is insecure but is also very controlling and you are letting her control you.  You need to stop it now. and start saying "no"and mean it.  Do not take her calls and do not go anywhere with her that costs you money.   If she were really your friend, would she be acting like this?  No one has the right to make fun of other people especially your family and you don't have to continue to take it.. There's an old saying "Surround yourself with positive people." You  sound like a sensible girl, and you probably have other friends that are fun to be around.  Hang with them.  Good luck

This girl is NOT insecure...she's IMMATURE!  When she asks you to do something, tell her that you already have plans {you don't have to tell her what they are...or you could even make something up}.  I know it's not good to lie to someone, but, sometimes, you have to, if you don't want to hurt the other person's feelings.  Tell her you have plans everytime she calls, and she should eventually get the idea and stop calling.  If she doesn't, most phone companies will let you temporarily change your phone number, at no cost, so your mom could check into that.  If all else fails, you need to be VERY FIRM with her.

At some point, you should even tell her that you just don't appreciate her making fun of you and your family, period.

You yourself sound like a decent young lady with a level head on your shoulders...stick to your guns and you'll be happier in the long run!

Wishing you the best of luck!

You need to do something before she damages your self-esteem (or your wallet).You need to straight up tell her she needs to stop or you can't be her friend anymore.Explain to her you have other friends and would like to hang out with them once and a while.Tell her that you're saving up for something and you'd appreciate it if she could help you out by not pressuring you to spend so much money.If you really enjoy enjoy getting your nails done, you could even do manicures for each other at your house.If you really need some new clothes,you can suggest a clothes swap with some friends.Both of those ideas would save you money.You need to tell that you have feelings and she seriously needs to stop making fun of you and your family.If you don't think you can consult her alone, bring along a friend (one that will stick up for you) when you talk to her.If she understands and promises to be a better friend, that's great!If she doesn't listen, or  she breaks her promise, I'd say it's time to dump her and hang out with friends who care about you.I hope this helps!Good luck.

She is useing you and disrespecting your family is absolutely wrong. She definately sounds insecure but dont let her put that on you. You need to surround yourself with possitive people. You are young and need to have fun and not be put down. I've been in similar situations. I find it difficult but standing up for yourself is very important. Tell her you dont appreciate her putting you and your family down and you dont feel like paying for everything. It may be easier to just tell her you dont want to hang out or be friends anymore. You may feel bad at the time but I think you will feel better in the end. You are in control of how you let people make you feel. Good luck and I hope things work out for you.
