Help, I have a BAD friend problem?

Ok, so there's this girl accross the street and my parents are friends with her parents so it's kind of hard to not be friends with her. But she is just sooooo irritating!

Here's a list of things about her that I don't like:

-She really likes to lie to me about stupid things like if she has a facebook or if she met a famous singer or if she won an award, she finds it teasing and joking, I find it irritating.

-She does something right, and she just has to TELL YOU EVERYTHING about it. She's not bragging as in "Hey, I just won the 1st Honors! Too bad YOU only got 2nd." but she's more like "Hey guess what I'm going on a field trip to the St. Louis Arch, what was your field trip?" and she KNOWS it'll be something less spectacular.

-She is a total attention grubber, when I get most of the goals in a soccer game she always barely gets hurt but cries soooo hard, and her parents PICK HER UP!!! She is waaay to old for that. And then after I'm brought back in the game, she say like a minute later that she's ready to go back in, even though if she was REALLY hurt, she would've stayed out longer.

-When we are on a trampoline she always does her back handsprings right in front of me and up in my face and she asks something like "Can you do a back handspring?" and when I say no she says something like "Well after all, I have done gymnastics for 6 YEARS".

-Another thing, when she was teaching me how to do a front flip and land on my feet I defended myself by telling her that I had only been trying for half an hour (usually I'm quick learner) and she said, "Well I got it in 20 minutes, sooo...."

-And another thing, the nice old couple that lives next to her has treated her like she's their granddaughter, and now that I moved here, she's been getting irritated that she has to share the attention.

-She's obviously mad that I'm the star soccer player and she's not (Not trying to have a big head here though but it's true, btw i'm usually somewhat modest as long as i'm not tooo excited.)

-She also is saying things that she's says are bad about her that are obviously not bad about her and she's trying to get unessicary sympathy like she says something like, "Hey, I'm sooo much fatter than everyone I weigh 69 pounds!" (Which I highly doubt)

-She always has to be better than me for REAL example: I told her that I was getting an iphone and then the day after she told me she was getting an iphone for christmas

-She's annoying and she a butthead when she isn't the center of attention and doesn't get what she wants.

Upsides about her:

-She's funny

-She has nice pets

-She has nice friends

UGH!!! I JUST CAN'T STAND HER!!! What should I do?Help, I have a BAD friend problem?
LOL ! That was good reading, thanks. You like her, admit it. She is funny. Just accept people the way they are and focus on what you like. When she says stuff about bragging or tells a fib, make up a bigger one that you two can laugh about. Eventually she'll stop when she knows you two are having fun and knows you really understand her. It doesn't mean she has to be your best friend but it sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders. Have fun with it. She has nice friends and wants you to be one of them. Whats wrong with that ?
Don't hang out with her because she's an idiot. Or, make up lies yourself. Tell her the iPhones they sell around Xmas are manufactured terribly because of high demand. Also- that she really is fat %26amp; shouldn't go around pointing it out. %26amp; if she isn't now she will be as soon as she quits gymnastic, because everyone knows what happens to muscle once it's retired. Tell her St. Louis is stupid %26amp; you wouldn't waste your parents money going there anyway. Ignore her- eventually you'll both grow up %26amp; won't have to be friends anymore, %26amp; if you believe you're better than her than just smile to yourself when she's acting a fool- knowing you're better off...Help, I have a BAD friend problem?
Hey Megan, You are in a kind of mixed feeling, U like her from inside (whic u fail to accept ur self), also u hate her. Better be very straight forward to her what ever u feel just put it on her face through whic there are possibilities she wud change her attitude.



Or what ever she boasts, act as if you are really excited/surprised. Even if she says something to create sympathy do the same(this is the reverse psychology).



Please don scold me on reading my answer. Use it if u find this useful This is what i cud say from the above scenario. I cud understand your frustrations and feeling

Thanks for reading.
