Show her thru your actions and words what a valuable friend she is to you. Find other people who recognise these qualities in her and both of you hang out with them. Affirm her kind actions and words and in time she'll come to believe that what you say is true. I know... i've been in her place and a very special friend turned my lofe around  by doing this for me. Be patient...it may take a while for negative stuff to be replaced by good but if you gently keep at it, it will happen.

If you can't win them, join them.  Be friends with her.  She obviously doesn't know how great you are.

well for the life isn't fair comment tell him he is lucky to learn that at a young age. As for his attitude. Thats a tuff one I have kids his age and I firmly believe in restricting the peers he/she hangs out with. Also if it is possible get him involved in activities after school. Baseball or whatever he is in to. If he is not interested, make him do it for one season or one whatever depending on what you choose. I did this and my daughter cried and stomped her feet. Now she plays softball every chance she gets, and I can tell her if she is not good she wont play. It's hard to give advice without knowing your exact situation but I hope this helps. Remember in a couple of yearsthere wont be much you can do about anything so stand your ground he will thank you in the end.

what is his personality like? is he a player? your friends seem to think so. there's the possibility he will do that, even though you've been friends for five years. \n\nbut, he can only take advantage of you if you allow him to! just refuse to go that far with him. you have the power to control that. find the strength and be strong. get to know each other all over again intellectually from a "relationship" point of view.\n\ni have found that friends' opinions are usually right. they have a more objective view about the situation than the two people involved. plus, your friends are only trying to look out for you because they love you, and don't want to see you get hurt. however, in the end it is your decision.

I think your friend is a cheating bastard...  I agree that it is ethical and within the rules of the game, but c'mon, be a MAN! In my league, I make sure I max out the IP's and games played and I expect the same from my competitors. You ain't got no bragging rights if you win by wimping out...

make it sound like something normal and you really don't care abut his answer.\na friend can help you. You can tell him that you lost a bat and if you don't go out with him you will have to do something something you hate most or something like that.\n you will figure that out.

your age, aize and weight play no factor in the ability to hit home runs. its really technique and a bit a luck. the fact that you hit one means you more than likely have good technique and see the ball well. home runs come on their own so just keep swinging the bat like you have been and you'll soon see more. oh yeah, congrats on your first homer.

tell him how you feel and tell him there is nothing that he can't tell you. . . you're both playing for the same team. . . so trust you enough to open up.

Being a good friend. They're few and far between. Almost anyone can do the others that you listed with little to no effort. (Yes, that includes playing the guitar)

If you are not a bit more forward with him you might\nnot get from first base in a hurry.\n\nYou know you miss 100% of the attempts you never make.\n\nGood Luck

Honestly, I feel that you have too much starting pitching. You will probably top the Wins catorgory in your league but your ERA  and WHIP will be high and your Saves and K will be low. RPs almost always do better in those catogories.  Consider trading one of your starters for a closer with a high K/IP and a low WHIP and ERA. A high K/IP guy that might be available on the FA market is J J Putz. \nAlso, maybe you could trade some of that SP for some speed like Brian Roberts or Pods. Willy Travaras and Dave Roberts are often availible as a base stealers via FA.\nAnyway, good luck and have fun!

maybe that your friend doesnt like the sport but just ask him nicely and see if he likes the game at all, then just take steps forward until you get him to go play

If you truly respect your friends wishes and well being you will do your up-most to confront on the situation and sit her down to work out a coarse of action that would most benefit her.  What she does with her life is entirely up to her, but that does not mean that she cannot listen to wisdom and reason.  Help your friend, but also respect their love for each other.

Well you have to understand what positions you are lacking in and sign some young fresh players that are hitting well, some pitchers would be heilman, lirano, tomko, and lieber. Some batters would be brossard, hanley ramirez, and brad wilkerson is starting to get hot. That or you can wait it out, but if you want to be a competitor i would recomend you start signing!
