Question #28

Dear answer girl,
this is Scared again. Thank you for your great advice. I will try to do what you said but it may not work. I have another problem. it is about the same friend. I don't wan't her to come to my birthday party but I am afraid if I don't invite her she might get mad at me and hate me if I don't. She says I am her only friend she has, but she is booting my out of her life. I try to help but she hates it. She does not now really how to be a great friend. I am very worried about her please help.
Scared

Dear Scared,
If you don't want her to come to your party you have a right not to invite her. At this point you definately need to tell your parents or her parents. This is beyond just 'annoying'. This girl is abusing you with her words and scaring you and it NEEDS to stop. Tell her if you want to be friends then she'll stop being mean. I'm sorry. Ask any other questions if you need any extra help.

Question #27

Dear Answer girl,
A couple months ago I sent in a problem from Scared. It was about camp. Now the same girl who I was talking about in qustion 24 Won't STOP Asking me about coming over.If I ask her to stop asking me to come over she gets really Mad She dragges me into the nursery in church when I am in the middle of talking to my other friends. She won't let me go back to what I was doing, and If I do she says I am dumb or a jerk or some thing hurtful I am very sared and I don't know what to do. Please help me again. Your advice was great about camp
Thank you scared!

Dear Scared,
Happy to help again but very sorry this friend keeps bothering you. Tell her "Listen, if you want to be my friend this is not the way you should do it. In fact, when you do this it just makes me upset and angry. Please don't pull me away from my friends. If you keep calling me names and dragging me around I will tell my parents. I'm sorry, but I just don't understand what you want. It is my choice to have other friends. I don't belong to you!" This girl is very rude and I think that you need to tell her parents or just plain ignore her. I am so sorry you have to deal with this! If you need more advice just ask another question.

Question #25

My boyfriend says microfiber gives you cancer.

Scammed??

Dear Scammed,

As far as I know, NO! Why would manufactures sell it if it did? That would be against the law. If you ever feel scammed again you can usually find the answer at www.snopes.com.

Question #24

Dear answer girl 

i have a problem. i have this friend who is really nice! But when I went to camp she turned away. She stole lots things from me, and from other girls. I am very scared. Please try to help.

Scared

Dear Scared,

Have you tried talking to her? If she won't listen to you, or listen to apologies, rip up your letters or discard your emails I think you should let it go. If it goes too far tell your parents. Make sure she doesn't steal anything big. Demand she gives them back. Tell your parents by all means if she won't give you back anything very valuable. If you can talk to her, ask her why she is mad and apologize for anything you might have done to make her mad. If you can't get through to her let it go. Don't hang all over her or follow her like a lost puppy dog. That might be what she wants. If she is willing to do something as mean as what she did she doesn't deserve your attention. Find a new friend. And make sure you don't blame yourself. If you have any more problems with this just ask again and I'll try to help.

Question #23

Dear Answer Girl,
I have this ugly scar from a car accident on my forehead. I wear my hair in my face to cover it. I'm not interested in girls but one named Carly P but this other girl named Jessie Q hangs all over my, saying my loves my "emo" hair. Just when she does that, Carly walks by and acts really disappointed. I'm not even emo! Do I stop wearing my hair this way?
Help!
Not Emo

Dear N. Emo,
If you are ashamed of your scar, wear a kind of 'makeup' that covers scars. If that makes you feel 'girly' keep wearing your hair emo (ha, ha) and tell Jessie politely you don't enjoy her hanging on you. Maybe tell Carly how you feel?
