My friend has a rich grandma who buys her anything she wants, when she wants it. It got really bad at prom last year when she came to school and bragged and bragged about her 400 dollar dress, and criticized me for buying one at Deb's for 60. All she did was talk about this dress. So after prom she settled down again and now that its time to talk about college, she is criticizing everyone for not turning in applications yet, she keeps reminding me that since MY family gets free lunches, that i could apply for free, and brags about how she's going to go to an ivy league college. She rubs it in her face that she gets better grades than me, talks about me behind my back when im not at school, and today i caught her getting something wrong and she literally yelled at me in front of the entire class because she was so upset. She's driving me crazy and i dont know how to tell her to just calm down or leave me alone...right now id be happy with either one.

This is a princess with a big ego... You won't change her bad behaviour, she thinks she is right about everything...
When everything is given to you when you ask for it, there is no pride of ownership.
The fact that she is a know it all would drive me around the bend.
I do not associate with people who think they have all the answers.
I figure" why do they need me in their lives."
You are not the sacrificial lamb and I wouldn't let her continue her condescending behaviour with me.
Time for a real friend who accepts you for who you are, your opinions and your trust and friendship.....
She needs to fall on her face a few more times before she will wake up and find she is alone, because she has driven everybody away from her with her attitude..
Avoid her.....and don't give her the time of day..

To part ways with her is not hard. Just tell her calmly that you don't want to see her and why. The hard part is not to criticize her as a person or to generalize. You should be addressing each behaviour that bothers you. Don't label her "stuck up".
Tell her, "I don't like it when you brag about having more money than I have. I don't think it is important but I feel put down by you. Please stop.
or go on to:
I don't want to be around someone who says she is a friend but I always feel bad. So I want to take a break for a while.
I would ask you what you mean by "caught her". It sounds as if you are caught up in her competitive ways and may be a little competitive yourself. I've been through this with an aggressive friend who never made me feel worthy. I finally cut loose and chose supportive friends who are kind and genuinely like me. What a relief!

I understand that you don't want to hurt your friend's feelings but she is being a total brat. If she talks about you behind your back and yelled at you in front of your class then she is not your friend. Tell her you don't want to be friends anymore because of her behavior. Give her the examples that you gave in your question. With friends like her who wants enemies. Good Luck!

She sounds like a great friend, I dont see what the problem is. She yells at you, constantly puts you down, is judgemental of you and others and overall just a spoiled brat. Kick her to the curb then if she asks why, ask her to sit down and break out the long list.

You may hurt her feelings, but then she's hurt yours so why worry about it? At least you don't WANT to hurt her feelings and are concerned about how to approach her...
...just talk to her about it...tell her that her words/behavior isn't kewl and ask her how she'd feel if the tables were turned? Remind her not everyone has the advantages she has, but that doesn't make them lesser people or unhappy people...
Her access to (someone else's) money, doesn't make her a better person than anyone else...she needs to realize that...

Tell her that she is your friend and you would still like her even if she wasn't as rich and you would expect the same thing from her.

All I can say is if thats a friend you dont need enemies. Get rid of her...she just likes lording it over you.

basby, you don't have to make yourself miserable, get away from that snub, she's not friend material discontinue your being around her, even if you have to be around her for assistance, find another means so that she won't bully you all the time and make you feel so down.

Yikes. While that girl may have money, she has no class. Try ignoring her bragging, if she has no audience for her dramatics, it may stop.
