Tell her to shut up. I tried to commit suicide because of people saying things like that.
It hurts more then people think.

People who do that sort of thing are just uncomfortable with themselves. I would not let what she says get to you. She needs a higher self esteem, and that needs to come from within. People like her think that they need to one up everyone, and have everyone's attention to feel good...but deep down it is only a quick fix and they just keep feeling bad about themselves. Maybe try in a nice way to get her to look at people's good qualities. When she starts in on how someone is "beneath" her..maybe start commenting on the things they DO have going for them. If you do this long enough, maybe she will at least stop acting that way infront of you, as she won't be getting the "feel good attention" she is wanting.

Dont be her friend!! Shes the one with the problem. She probably has an insecurity herself if she keeps putting other people down. The next time she says something about someone in front of you tell he to take a good look in the mirror. Beauty is only skin deep, if shes got real beauty it would show from the inside.

I would have wanted to ask the same question yesterday, but i somehow told myself that it's just because of jealosy, ignorance and insecurity. When you are a secure and confident person, you compliment other people and make them feel good, but otherwise, you put them down. The best thing would be to ignore these people who still have a long way to go in life.

Actually, it is very simple.
If you put someone down, then that makes you superior. She somehow is so insecure that she cannot just be nice, she feels the need to put others down so that she can feel like she is better than them. It fills in her insecurity about herself.
I am glad you are bigger than that. Maybe she will grow up.. but some people never do.

People do this because deep down they don't feel good about themselves and they think it makes them look better by putting someone Else down, when rely it just makes them look bad and snobby she would make more friends if she were nicer to people you catch more flies with honey

Because she has very low self-esteem and doesn't have that self-confidence within herself! In order to give herself that so-called "good" image, she would put down someone else! Its not right for her to do that, so I wouldn't be interested in being friends with her-especially for someone to stoop so low! Let her go and move on!

Because they have something lacking in their own lives and they usually have low self-esteem and they put other people down to make themselves look better !!!

well does your friend have low self confidence if so you shoul try to talk to her about it . The reason i ask this is that when other people make fun of people it is because they have low self confidence and it makes them feel better about themselves if they make fun of others.
