MY DRAMA TWEENS

WHY IS MY BEST FRIEND TALKING BEHIND MY BACK?

Drama Tween Dilemma:
Drama Tween and another Drama Diva has been best friends for years. Out of nowhere a friend of a friend  of another friend told you that your best drama diva friend is spreading rumors about you! Now what?

IF I AM THE DRAMA TWEEN:
Be Calm! DO NOT start deleting her profile in your myspace/facebook account. Analyze what's happening! Who says what? where? when? DO NOT even agree to the rumor mongers.

Gather facts and list down the items you have heard! When I say list down. WRITE IT DOWN with details on time, place and even source. DO NOT call your best friend immediately and start yacking on your rumor list but arrange to meet her in person ...and ALONE!

Be open and enumerate the facts you have gathered and let her know about how you feel! Ask her to clear up the issue point by point. If during the conversation, she admitted to everything! Find ways to compromise and understand where she is coming from?

TALK IT OUT! Bear in mind that she has been your best friend for years...so think of the happy moments that you have been for each other! There will be more problems that you will share later....so make sure you clear this out with her now that whatever and whenever you are...you will prefer to be open to each other!

HOW DO I TELL HER TO SHUT UP?

Drama Tween Dilemma:
One Drama Tween has a classmate who thinks the center of the universe evolves around her. If you say you own an iPod, she has a better iPod and tells everybody yours is broken..You got a new hoodie and tells other divas she has 50 hoodies in her closet and yours is last year's fashion! You have a phone, and she announced that she  will have a Blackberry for Christmas! Hmmm...is she the same girl who gossips , thinks she's thinner, taller ...and tells you to lose the weight when you are only 115 lbs?

IF I AM THE DRAMA TWEEN ... IGNORE HER!
There are some girls who are not happy with what they have and just love to make herself feel good by making everybody around her feels MISERABLE! What's with you girl?

She is baiting you..wants you to freak out!! So DON'T give her the satisfaction of losing your temper in front of your friends..Be Classy! Ignore her! If you can see her flaws...your other tween friends can see that too! Avoid her ...and be with other friends that  are as POSITIVE as you!!!!

And maybe, If you meet her at the corridor, tell her you think you may have swine flu??? - - and I bet whe will tell everybody - -she has the  wildest swine flu in campus! Yikes!
