Breathe dude. Don't let her have that kind of power over you. You can't control others, and sometimes people just ain't right, don't let her harm you more by making you so angry. Just let it go, and keep your peace. You'll get paid, or you won't. Not in your control, just don't help her, or count it as a gift and move on!

If you want to keep your friend I'd stay away - at least talk to him about it first!

Your friend just creates negativity in your life, you've done your part and she will never change her mind.  You should leave her alone and make friends with more intelligent people.

i agree with SEMAJ.  if she is really a good friend then she'll listen to you.  tell her that in your opinion, her bf is trying to control her and you can see that.  and ask her if she wants to be controlled by him.  tell her that you dont have any intention to ruin her relationship but you are just trying to warn her and you are being a good friend.  you dont want her to get hurt someday so the if the bf is controlling her and its just ok for her dont feel bad.  she'll realize it and tell her no matter what you'll be there for her.

You must be very careful if you choose to keep this type of friendship. I had a friend like this and because of her need for attention she did things like always try to cause confusion even between my sister and I.  She even lied about having cancer one time for attention! She is a middle age woman I finally decided that for my piece of mind she was not a asset to me but a liability and I ended the friendship.

I think like you said you want to control your life, but the steps you are taking are not good for you, I think its time for you to see and speak to someone about what you are doing to yourself. When something bad happens to you try to make it worse to make you feel better I believe you explained very well of what your a feeling and doing to yourself.. please speak to someone you feel safe with and trust..please!!!!!

Well... it sounds like there isn't anything you can do!!! If she wants to "dumb" for him, it's all up to her to relize it's time to get smart!!! She really isn't asking for your help in this because if she really wanted help, she would take your advise. Just be that ear for her. And if you feel like you don't want to be friends anymore, still be there, but keep her at a distance.

You can only tell her that you think it's wrong and just stay away. The things that you say she's going to do are dangerous not just for herself but for you as well. Let her make her own mistakes and be there for her when she realizes it's a mistake. Just remember you can't change people and if she pushes you to join her in a shoplift or drug related activity you can get into just as much trouble as she could and that she's not being a true friend. You're a good person to worry about your friend the way you do unfortunatley she's going to have to figure this out for herself. You've already told her how you feel and that's all you can do.

You need to tell the police about this and you also need to tell your parents  if you are still living with them.  If not then you need to tell you friends so that they can help you and keep you company.  Get a restraining order and it may also be smart to limit your activities for awhile and make sure when you do need to go somewhere that you are never alone.  Always keep a friend by your side and make sure you're always in the public eye.  Limit your night activities.  It is better to be safe than sorry.

You should give her the opportunity to know how you feel and what is going to happen if she doesn't change the way she is behaving.  She is probably in actuality a very insecure girl that feels that she needs to put others down.  Tell her that a friend doesn't act that way, and that just as you would for her, you are defending your friends and their feelings...that is what friends do.

If you are really her friend and not just someone trying to hurt her feelings , then I would tell her how people view her and that in the long run she is going to be the one hurt by this behavior. I knew someone like that once, and when she decided to change and get her life back on track ,she actually had to move out of state before she could find someone that wanted to have a relationship with her because everyone knew her reputation.

Not at all. It's called freedom of will, and you.. sorry, I mean your friend... are free to do what they want.

Kayla.....LIVE>>>>Rock out and enjoy yourself. Tell this dude things are done and over with. He is controlling. Do your own thing. Do what you do and have fun. Dont worry about your friends...they will be there.

Personally tell the others to mind their own business and stop trying to control someones life.\nBy all means give her the pros and cons, but do NOT try and influence the decision.\nNo-one has the right to control another.

Just do it.  Man up, pal and your friend will at least have to talk to you.  If things get worse, then you know you tried to resolve the issue.

man yo friend is selfish, i know cuz im sorta the same way but i dont mess with my friend relationship because i know that he is happy with her and thatall that matters. but im saying if the giel do him wrong then she would have to answer to me. juss tell yo friend if she that close to you to let u go, cuz she is doing the same thing. if she like that tell her you wont talk to her ne more till she understands that u not with her and that u need your freedom. there is a nice way to tell her(not in those words) but the rection is gone be the same, feel me?
