Question 5

Dear Answer Girl,
I have a friend that I have known for a really long time. She says I'm her best friend, but I'm not so sure about that. I like her, but she's rude, and doesn't respect my privacy. When I ask her not to do somthing, she keeps on. I want to say somthing, but I'm afraid I'll hurt her feelings.What should I do?
Love,
Friend Troubles

Dear Friend Troubles,
Your friend doesn't sound much like a very good friend. Good friends are loving, tolerant and considerate. Maybe this a friend you don't need to hang around with. If it bothers you that much, go find new friends. Or maybe if she disrespects your privacy, say kindly, "I don't appreciate that. I feel like you are not respecting me." A real friend would honor that.
Signing Off,
Answer Girl
