    She's insecure about her appearance and feel the need to look like you cos maybe you dress better, you're prettier and so on. I had the same problem in school before and this girl, whom I was not even close with, copied everything about me from head to toe. It was so obvious and everyone in class noticed it too. I was frustrated one day, and vent it all to my best friend. I didn't realize that she was just 2 seats away and heard everything! From then on, she developed her own sense of style and everything else, never having the same stuff I do.

    I'm not telling you to do the same thing I did, but maybe you can take her out shopping for her stuff. Shop for things that will look good on her, not you. It'll help her in her confidence when you praise how pretty something look on her, and maybe she'll start to have her own style too.

    Have you thought about addressing this problem with her, as a friend. Impress upon her that it is important to be yourself and find things that you like. She is probably trying the things you like/do because she sees that it is working for you and she doesn't know what she likes. It sounds like she probably needs some guidance/direction. By taking the time to sit down and talk with her you won't feel guilty about it and she will hopefully adhere to your suggestion. If after speaking with her she doesn't change this behavioral problem within a reasonal amount of time (keeping in mind that it is hard to change habits), then you can simply say to her that you would like to be her friend, but you cannot because she doesn't respect your wishes and this is a real problem for you.

    i have the same problem. Luckly for me in 3rd i have sepreate classes from the person that copies me.

    She/he should stop as in later in life they will see all the things they missed out on because they copied someone else. I bet they dont do the same stuff as you when you aint around.

    Like example my frined likes high school musical and has alot of there stuff and loves watching it and I say i hate it and she says she hates it to and its annoying..am like then why do u have all the stuff god

    Well just comfront them..question them bout the stuff you like and if they have the wrong answer say i tohught you liked it though and they wont like being figured out there copying haah

    Good luck hope this helps

    Ask her why she does this. If u keep ignoring it, ur friendship wud get weaker and weaker coz of the attitude she's got.

    If she has a good enof reason for all dis tell her aw u feel about it and if possible tell her to stop in the nicest way ever.

    and also it might be a sign to show aw much she koves ur frienship wif her.

    goodluck

    I would't worry about it..she obviously admires you.. id take it as a compliment. She'll find her own style soon enough.

    TELL HER TO STOP AND IF SHE DON'T EXPLAIN TO HER FOR YOUR REASONS OF TELLING HER TO STOP. IF SHE DONT THEN IGNORE HER BECAUSE SHE REALLY DONT CARE ABOUT HOW YOU FEEL,AND THATS NOT A GOOD FRIEND
