Frenemies

Ever have a friend who kinda wasn't always a friend? A frenemy, perhaps? It seems like the line gets blurred easily. Has a friend ever teased you, but it wasn't really funny, but more mean? How do you handle this? And why do girls sometimes focus conversation and gossip on others' body shape and size? Is it to make themselves feel better? Do you think guys do this? Our Pine Lake Sisters said that they've heard mostly older girls talking about this kind of stuff, like girls getting 'rated' or called fat. The group consensus was to not put up with it if you hear it. If someone insults you, don't take it, but also make sure you don't insult them back...then you're no better than they are. If the person won't listen to you, the Sisters agreed that it was good to ask for help from parents, friends and your school. They also thought it unburdens you to talk about a problem with someone else. What do you think?
