I can't put up with her! Friend help please?
I am usually an easygoing person- I laugh easily, keep secrets, and am supportive.
But there's this friend.... I'll name her Rachel just for now (that's not her real name) And she can be kind sometimes, but lately she's been getting on my nerves!
Rachel and I were doing a team assingment in Advanced Language Arts and I started. She hadn't given any help for the past ten minutes so I asked her what she thought we should put in the first paragraph. "I don't know. I'm really tired today" she would say, or some lame excuse like that. I would continue on, occasionally asking her opinion or trying in vain to get her to help. When I told her to write, she always would make me do all the work with those stupid excuses. The next time it happened again. If I did not group with her, she got upset. She is constantly asking people "Does my face look okay?" after lunch, very insecure and relies on me to do work in team projects.
This is frustrating! What should I do?
My other friend is friends with Rachel, and I am very good friends with this friend.
Could giving up my friendship with Rachel be jepordizing my other friendship?
She follows me around like a shadow- she can't make a single decision without someone else right alongside her

It seems to me as though your friend is very insecure about herself. Its nice of you to show support, but their comes a point in any friendship where one has to put themselves before their friends. Clearly, if she isn't willing to work with you, she is merely using you for her own convenience. What she is doing is taking advantage of you because if she were truly genuine, she would help you as a friend. I suggest finding new friends so that it shows that you don't depend on th friendship you have with Rachel. By doing this, you are showing her that you have a stronger side to you and asserting that you are not the kind of friend someone can walk all over. Also, I suggest talking to her and seriously express how you feel because if she was any friend whatsoever she would change her ways. If you allow this to continue, you will only be hurting yourself. Good luck and I hope you come to a resolution.

OMG she is like this annoying girl in my class too.
What I would do is just ignore her....
Its relieves a lot of the stress you can get from her or from school.
Sorry,
Anyways.... Just ignore her for a little while and if she doesn't change just forget her...
Hope I can help
