Dear Kellyn,
My friend always copies me. If I get something new she will not stop looking in the shops until she finds the same thing and buys it too. It's really starting to annoy me. What can I do? I don’t want to hurt her feelings.

Dear Ally,
Try to take it as a compliment - obviously your friend admires you! Maybe you could go shopping together and you could pick out some cool things that might suit her. I'm sure she'd love a little guidance from you. Hope that helps!
Dear Kellyn,
My BFF always wants me to sleep over but sometimes I want family time, 'cos my family always do fun things when I'm away. But I'm scared to say no to my bestie. Help!

Hi Katie,
Obviously your best friend LOVES spending time with you, so you must be one cool chick! Try explaining to her how much you enjoy hanging out but how it's important for you to also spend time with your family. I think you'll find that you're bestie will understand and be supportive. Good luck with everything Katie.
Dear Kellyn,
My sister and I fight over silly things and I don't want to argue anymore. I want us to be best friends. How can I help us stop fighting?

Dear Cheyenne,
When people are living out of each other's pockets, and unfortunately it's usually family members who are around 24/7 that cop the brunt of it. It's great that you want to stop arguing - you're being very mature. Discuss your feelings with your sister. She may feel exactly the same as you!
Dear Kellyn,
I have a friend who is really spoilt and always wants to be centre of attention. Also, everything always has to go her way or she gets angry. It's so silly, why does she act this way?

Hi Kasey,
Sometimes people don't know how to act when they want attention. You pal may be going through a rough patch in her life and may need someone to understand where she's coming from. Talk to her and see what's going on. With a little attention, she might stop behaving this way!
