She's a completely different person around other people...what should I do?

Well, you certainly are a good & true friend to her. Sounds to me like she is suffering & struggling with poor self-esteem. Maybe, until you move away you can help her with the root problem which is her poor self-esteem. She only feels like herself (obviously) when she is with you & does not feel pressured to be someone else. She is very scared of being accepted instead of choosing more friends like you. At this particular age, she is feeling like it is more important to "fit-in" than to be around people (like you) that accept the real her.

As a true friend, of course you have to be honest with her about the dead-end road she is headed down. Try to get her more involved in activities & time spent with you than she spends with the others. Try to encourage her that the answer is not to change herself to be accepted, but to change her choice of friends. As it gets closer to when you are leaving (at some point) you probably should sit her down & explain how much you are concerned & especially more so, now that you are about to leave town, etc. Try to keep some sort of contact with her, as I do not know how far away you are planning to move, etc.

Remember this, though no matter how hard you would love to change her, she & only she can make the serious decision of her future & she can only be the one to decide who she chooses to be friends with. I can tell you are very sincere & caring towards your friend, but I am afraid the bottom line is all you can do is offer your help and advice, as she has to realize her own choices and consequences for those choices.

I sincerely hope this helps you & she as well. Good luck, hang in there & remember if she does not respond in a positive manner, you have nothing to feel bad about & do not beat yourself up with guilt. Hopefully, she may open up to you as she obviously feels more comfort around you than she does around these other "so-called" friends.

Good luck with this & good luck with your future plans to move. You will meet many more people in your life & there are tons of people out there that would love to have a good friendship with someone as yourself. Wishing you the best of luck, take care!

Definitely don't give up on talking to her. It's obvious that she feels she can only be her true self around you. It might be that those other friends won't accept her unless she acts on these bad influences, or it could be that she is just trying to impress them. Either way, it is good that she has you as a friend that will accept her for who she is. Just hang in there and keep trying to talk to her about it. It was also make it harder since she is only a freshman, which are usually immature. Another thing, since she is spending a lot of time with these other friends, try to plan fun things for just the two of you to do so that she already has plans when they ask her to hang out. That should lighten the peer pressure.

He probably has a crush on you, thats probably why he's shy around you when the two of you are alone. When his friends are there , he might feel more confident to talk with you cuz he has other people with him. But usually when someone like someone else, they can be kinda shy around you. So just try to make him feel more comfortable until he starts to talk more.

i personally think you need to just sit her down with you, and explain the feelings that you have for her. tell her that the path that shes headed down isnt a good one and that if trying to fit in like the way she is, is the only way to have friends, then she should hang out at the local library or something and hang out with nerds. or you could just show her that you might not care about what shes doing cause maybe she just wants attention from you and if you show her that you don't care, she proabably will stop acting like that.

That's really sweet that you care so much. I hung out with different types of people in high school and knew they weren't really my "type". She probably knows this too and will eventually end up hanging out with people more like herself. You could let her know your concerns again and just be there for her to talk to but she will figure it out. Maybe you could encourage her to join some group/organization that she would like that is also positive.

This is where God comes in. She has to choose his way or their way.

If she is ashamed of Jesus, he said he would be ashamed of her at judgment.

She should be willing to suffer for Christ and do what is best and what he would want her to do even if it means not being accepted. I did it and I do not regret it for a moment.
