A new girl has befriended me, and I've introduced her to my other friends. She has a really annoying voice. It's high pitched (way worse than nanny Fran). I think she knows because she talks really quietly until she gets excited. I overlook it because she seems to be a great person, but some of the others in the group are saying she has to go. Any advice on how to either get it her to tone it down a bit or get the others to be a bit more accepting?

She can't help it unless she wants to change the voice herself . That means going to a speech therapist. However, I think you should tell you friends to just accept her the way she is. If they can't do it, you should look for better friends.

Well, that's just mean. To ostracize someone just because you don't like the sound of their voice. It's not like she can DO anything about it, after all. Besides, Nanny Fran made a lot of money on her voice. If she usually talks quietly, she must be aware of how it sounds.
What IF somebody decided YOU couldn't be in "the group" because...........your nose was too big, or your ears stuck out too far!
I think she deserves a chance to be herself. Like her for her good qualities, and ignore the rest. And if you can't do that, you don't deserve to have her as a friend.

Well unfortunately, people are all about how people look and sound/ how they come across. If no one worried about these facts, more people could be who they really are. However, since that probably won't ever change, you have to make a choice. You can ignore it, and probably be hassled by all your friends until you stop being friends with them. Or you can just tell her that she talks to loud and go along with the crowd. After all, everyone on this planet is supposed to look and sound the same, right? Acceptance should mean that we, as people, accept others for who they are. It should not be something that people who are "different" must search for in a select group of people who are actually nice so that they can have friends and companions.
That's my piece.

You're not going to please everybody. Your new friend might be catering more to you then the others, and you can't change a person character it is what it is. Your friends doesn't seem to be as patient as you are. So, it will be hard to come right out to tell you new friend that she is not accepted. Talk to your friends and let them know how you feel and if they say she has go. Then you have to make a decision.

I in lots of cases only tell human beings. It often starts an enticing communique on the top of which I in no way see them returned or they end being annoying. If that fails I only actually forget approximately approximately them till they end bugging me.
