Friends could act like parents..., Can they what do u think Options

[Jayembe]

My one friend is always on me and lecturing me of things that i should do and change and, that i shouldn't be mean. I believe that i'm not mean except to those who can or are mean to me. I'm starting to feel like she doesn't approve of me being me. She also calls me and lectures me for some little mistake i have done. She tells me these are mature conversations but, i dont want to be mature around my friends because then it's just boring although at times i am mature. Im starting to feel offended and very annoyed when she is around. Do you have any friends who do this and what should i tell her so it doesn't make her hate me. Oh yea and she is a hypocrite but, when i tell her she is she argues that she isn't and, backs it up with huge reasons.

Get new friends.

[yeseulx3]

just tell her to leave you alone.
say...
you're better off without a friendship like that.

[Nicolatofu]

i think there's nothing wrong with talking about things that bother each other, but it's your life, and you can do what you like with it. Tell her that. I have a few friends like that...i just tell them i do things my own way, no matter what others think.
or just plug your ears and say "lalalala i can't hear you!"

Tell her that you have had enough about her lecturing you. Ask her WHY she continues to complain about you. If she can't stand the type of person you are, then tell her "tough luck." I agree, go find a new friend. If she can't accept you for who you are, then maybe you should go find a REAL friend. If she says "i'm just helping you better yourself..." Bleh don't believe in that line, unless she actually does help you try to change in a good way, such as being kinder or doing your homework more or something idk, lol.

Tell her what's on your mind. You don't lecture her, so why should she lecture you?

Just tell her u need a friend and not another mother..

[kellyannie]

maybe she's just concerned about you? but if you don't like it just tell her you want to live your own life.

< You > You better back off before you're the one I start being mean to.
< Her > Oh yeah? Well then, bring it on, gurlfren! * snap snap snap *
< You > * Takes out an ice-pick and charges*
< Her > * Takes out brother's switchblade and holds a defensive stance*
< You > * Thrusts icepick aiming at her heart *
< Her > * Parries the attack and jumps back a few feet *
< You > * Roundhouse kicks her hitting her on the face *
< Her > * Breaks her neck from the kick and falls on the ground *
< Her > * Lies lifelessly, blood dripping from here eyes. *

That's how things should go.

tell her what you told us.
Tell her you're entitled to live out your life the way you want to.
Tell her that you are a kid. and you don't want to act mature
She's bringing the whole group down.

[*islandgirl4eva*]

Yeah, be honest and upfront with how you feel. Is she can't take it, cut her loose.

[*stephinika*]

yeah just tell her that if she doesn't like who you are, too bad. she shouldn't tell you how to live your life.

[royalfreshness]

I hate it when people lecture me! Especially my cousins. If my friend lectures me and does it constantly .. I wouldn't probably stop hanging out with them.

[runforfun529]

realize that there are sometimes that you need to be mature. But you also need to be a kid too. If she is trying to change you in a bad way, then you are better off without her

[anger_is_my_frie...]

well, if her advice really does bother you and you already tried telling her that you want to be your own person, she's no friend. Friends are supposed to love you for who you are, not who they want you to be.

[toodlepops.]

jeeZ, sounds really annoying. talk to her bout it. if shes so mature, im sure she'll make it through the convo without crying.

[bad_girl]

tell her to stop.
