Abusive Relationships - Katie


Expert: David Simonsen - 10/26/2009

Question
I'm 16 and my "best friend" is 15 and she gets mad at me for anything and everything. She is one of the meanest people I know. She downs me constantly and always makes me feel stupid. She also has her good moments, and i want to hold on to her, but the drama is not good for me. Specific incidents: Katie HATES my boyfriend and constantly calls him nasty around me. She also thinks that I forget everything as soon as she says it, so she will tell me a lie about someone and then alter the story later. Both her and her mother are really rude and both think i am THE dizziest person they've ever seen.

Answer
Charlie,
Seriously, are you SO desperate for a friend that you will tolerate this kind of behavior. I suggest that you use the spine you were given and break of this friendship. It is not worth the drama in your life. You have to be the stronger person and focus on other relationships. If CHOOSE not to, then don't complain about her. You know what kind of person she is. She won't change so you have to make the choice to do it.
