Dear Dish-It, My Friend Really Annoys Me

          Teen Friendship Advice

Dear Dish-It, is here to whisper "ttyl after I've thought about this some more".

Dear Dish-It,

I have a problem - I have this friend named Alice and I wanna be her friend but she annoys me sooo much! She lies and talks crap about other people, and when I tell her something really important, she doesn't believe me! What should I do?!
Stephanie

Dear Stephanie,

Your friend Alice says mean things about other people, doesn't believe anything you tell her and annoys the heck out of you - so why do you want to be her friend so badly? There were obviously some good things about her that made you want to be her friend in the first place, though, so why don't you let her know what's been bothering you about her? It might be awkward, but if she is a real friend, you guys will be able to work through your issues. If Alice has more annoying traits than good ones or if she doesn't make an effort to be a better friend, maybe you should be looking for some new friends to hang with. Good Luck!

So, ya gotta burnin' question? Need some love directions? Thinkin' 'bout stuff like depression, sex,how ya feel 'bout YOURSELF (that's called "self-esteem"), boyfriends, girlfriends, losin' old friends, bullyin' or peer pressure, but too scared to ask the parents? Don't be scared to Dish-It here. But 'member, if ya hang out in Chat with other Kidzworld members who know ya by your 'username', ya might wanna use a secret nickname when ya write in. That way no one'll ever know it's you. And, just in case ya don't know, Dish-It gets a lotta letters everyday, and she can't answer 'em all. So keep checkin' the column cuz she's prob'ly answerin' somethin' very similar to your question while you're out doin' somethin' else. K? And Thanks! Ya keep her outta trouble. Oh! And if ya've got words of wisdom you wanna share,We'll dish 'em up, too.
