I have a friend that constantly needs advice on things and most of her phone calls are about problems she needs help with. Now I don't mind giving her advice or helping her with her problems cause that's what your freinds are for right?? My worry is, she isn't just looking for advice anymore, she wants me to make decisions for her! Her problems aren't just the run of the mill boy problems or hair or make-up problems, they are serious issues like health and other things I have no right commenting on! Last time she called with a issue I told her I wasn't comfortable making a decision on it as it was quite personal and she got really angry and didn't speak to me for days. What is the best way to tell her that I can't keep making her decisions for her without making her REALLY angry??

If you will just be honest before she asks for advice again, she will take it more to heart than she does if you wait till she asks for advice. So just tell her sometime when she's not asking for advice and then she will listen and not get angry.

Why would you want to be friends with a leech? If you insist, try outdoing her. She has a problem, you have a bigger one. Otherwise, just tell her flat out she has to make her own decisions.

Ask your friend to lighten up! But really, there's no reason you should listen to me or anyone else on this page. It's your life, your decision. Tell her that she should talk to talk to her mom about whatever she asked you.
