I am having some problems with my friend. They make it seem like everything is a contest. I would say "ouch" and my friends asks, "What happened?" then I would tell them and then they would say "Oh that's nothing." There was a another time when we were getting our textbooks for school and I told them that they were lucky that they only had four text books(because I had five) and then they said,"Yeah, but mine are way thicker then yours are." I'm not mad I am just getting annoyed and I don't know what to do. Talking to them is usually my last choice because I try to find ways to keep me from getting annoyed but it's not helping. Please help!

Teens, especially girls are always trying to out-do the others...when you say my backpack is heavy, she'll say, No, mine is worse...just say...NO MINE IS! It will freak them out that you had a backbone and stood up for yourself!

I understand completely. My mother and grandmother have that problem, to the point where if my mom has to move, my grandmother buys a new house. It gets pretty ridiculous.
While my grandmother knows damn well what she's doing, your friend may not know that they're annoying you quite so much. Sit them down and say "Hey, I know you probably don't realize it, but it really makes me uncomfortable when you (insert explanation here)". Most likely, your friend will go "Oops - sorry!!", and you won't have too many instances of that happening again.

Sounds like a Pity Party.

try to find the positive things they talk and keep your mind on those rather than on the things they talk that seem to annoy you
