BFF dilemma of the month.

My BFF always copies me. She buys the same clothes, talks the same way, likes the same guys. How do I get her to stop?

Aaargh! My BFF totally copies me. How can I help her develop her own style and personality without hurting her feelings?

Tell her nicely, "I know you like how I dress, but I'd appreciate it if we could dress differently." Be nice. Don't ruin the friendship. But if she's a toxic cling-on friend, break it off. Just tell her you don't want to he friends anymore.

As a teenager, it's not easy to be yourself and be a leader. So confront your BFF and tell her you appreciate her looking up to you but that you can't always be around to guide her. She needs to be her own person.

It's important for everyone to feel accepted. Let her know you would like her even if she didn't like the same clothes or boys as you do. Being yourself is an important thing, but it is a really hard thing to do.

Allie, 14

Let her know you don't appreciate it when she copies you. Tell her to find her own inner beauty because you know it's there. She should let her own light shine and not take from someone else's.

Take her shopping and show her cool clothes that you don't have. Hint to her how individual you try to he, She probably has good intentions end looks up to you. Tell her how you feel, and help her find her own style.
