Dear Dish-It, She Dissed My Outfit

Best Friend Troubles

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

Dear Dish-It,

She probably thinks she's better than me. When I wore this totally cute outfit, my best friend said (and I quote!) "Say goodbye to your dignity!"

Dear grovie Girl,

One day, I was sporting this really cool outfit at school. It wasn't your average jean skirt and polo shirt combo - it was original and stylin' and I felt on top of my fashion game. So, this girl in my class decides to announce to the whole school how bad I look. It was a little embarrassing, but mostly it just hurt, cuz I thought we were friends. Well, would you believe that later that year the same girl apologized for being such a jerk and told me how glad she was that I was her friend? It's true. Sometimes girls can be really nasty - it's usually not because they dislike you, but more likely because they are a bit jealous. And for some reason, the only way they can express that jealousy is by being cruel. If I were you, I would keep doing what you're doing and just let your friends nasty comments roll off your back. If she continues to be so mean, you might want to re-evaluate your friendship with her. 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.
