Then she came over to my house and was all mad and angry. So I said come here and sit down. I said what is wrong? She said she is mad at her friend but friend don't no. They been friends since 4 years old and great friends but when her friend turned 12 she said she became a brat. So they always have a goof imagination so they still play wich is sweet because they only have a couple years till there not a kid so this is what happened she told me. Ok her and her friend was playing bratz and the friend had all the houses and furniture but there was one house and couple furniture left so she the good one grabed it and the one with all of them said hey im using those and she said but i dont have anything and she said well pretend. Then the next thing is she said something like in the game where she was always the pretty girl and calling her ugly and always makingup the games and the goodo ne has no say in it. So later on she said she came out of the bathroom and her friend had ice cream in her hand and the good one said hey can i get one out of the fridge and she said nope this is last one. Then she got mad but she diddnt no she was because she turned around and had a furiouse face and was angry so then the last thing was they noth are skinny but the friend that being rude is shorter and flat chest and the good one has the same skinny body with egs so the other friend said well something about i have skinny dancer legs and meaning that the other one doesnt have skinny legs, ok so the good girl loves her friend but she is becoming a brat and doesnt no what to do, and i soupose to get an answer by today because im going to babysit her tonight and she reay needs an answer for me and she saids her mom does not understand.

Thanks for all the answers I really need to help her out she is counting on me. Sorry for mispelled words.

Answer 1

honestly

she doesn't need a friend like that

but childhood friends are precious

because they became friends before status, money, or looks mattered

and that's very cool

if she wants to stay friends

then tell her to take a break from her friend, but don't forget about the good times

her friend might just be going through a time of little self-confidence or trouble (u change a lot throughout your childhood, as you probably know)

if she doesn't want to deal with it anymore

then tell her to leave her friend alone

if her friend really is a friend and wants to stay with her

then the bratty friend will make an effort to change

the thing i recommend you telling her

is to avoid her friend for a while (but don't go as far as to go out of her way to ignore her)

and while avoiding

still be polite

and don't talk c**p about her (ex)friend

because eventually

somehow, the two girls will probably become friends again

because it's hard to break connections like that

Answer 2

You could well put it down to hormones and all that at this age... not to mention the typical teen queen-bee syndrome.

The girl's "friend" simply ceased to be a friend, so the girl needs to move on to find better people to hang out with. Perhaps consider meeting some nice kids in the local church youth group, or enroll in some school clubs to enrich her social potential.

This brat girl can come back when she gets lonesome and wants to play nice.

Answer 3

seems like they have to work it out themselves. their kids and they need to take some responsibility for their own problems.

Answer 4

well her friend is probably goin through puberty or something.  I am 12 and when you turn that age you feel like your older (because your almost a teenager) and you feel like you can do anything you want to.  I am confessing that when I turned 12 I became more rude to my parents not trying to though but I still did act the same to my bffs.  My bffs always have there own little fights and I try to not get into them or take sides. but usually a week after or even the next day they are aain besties.    maybe the girl you sit hasn't gone through puberty yet so doesn't rly know why this is happening.  ppl are different and usually the younger ones go through it first...if this is not correct she could have just started her first step to womanhood   (HER PERIOD)    sounds a little weird but it could be. duh I mean everyone is cranky during it!   so yeah I'm young  but i'm rly smart this mite be the reason....     ~alisha            hope I helped
