Hi, im soo annoyed right now.

Where to start?

A couple of months ago i fell out with people i used to call my 'best friends' long story not going into detail about why we fell out. While i was friends with one of the particular 'friends' she copied me! Im not just talking about a bit, anything i did she would copy me, the way i did my hair the way i dressed the way i did my make up the way i spoke the things i said my work. Everything she copied. I wasnt the only one to notice either.

Anyway after we fell out i carried on at the same sixth form, but unfortunately moved due to my old 'best friends' bullying me. The one that copied me was the main one. She wrote two status's on facebook calling me names saying things about me. She also said i was like a lost puppy just because id been hanging out with a new friend. Yet when we were friends she coppied everything i did, and couldnt even walk down the street by herself, or catch the bus!

So now im moved away go to a different college dont have anything to do with them anymore and never will again. They can still see things about me on facebook because we do have mutual friends i didnt fall out with. So i just recently (after falling out) got a new fringe and some blonde highlights in my hair. My mum told me today she saw a picture of her on facebook with the exact same hairstyle! Is she still copying me?! and why? i feel like just dying my hair a total different colour.

Help!! so angry

Rebeccaa agony auntThank you both of you that was very helpful, and yes I did my old 'friends' were part of the reason for that, along with everything else but what happened with them was just the last straw

Honeypie agony auntEh, I'm sorry you went through being bullied. People like your "ex-friend" are the pathetic ones.. She could ONLY make herself stand out by kicking someone else - you. That is kind of sad, don't you think?

Here are my suggestions. First of all log into your Facebook and BLOCK this girl from ANY of your feeds, status, pictures. Same with any of the people she surround herself with.

If YOU like YOUR new hairstyle/cut/color then keep it. Don't worry what "she" does - you can't control her actions.

My guess is she is jealous of you - that is why she copies you and bullied you. She wants to be you, and honey, she can't because she is a crap person and you are not.

So time to block he from your life and pretend she doesn't exist, and focus on YOUR life, your future - your happiness. Worrying about what she is doing is a waste of time.

CindyCares agony aunt Naah, don't get paranoid now . It may be a coincidence, you have no copyright on fringes and highlights, and I guess you have taken this idea for a new hairstyle somewhere, magazines, tv shows, .... being the same age, it's quite possible you share the same cultural icons and follow the same trends.

And anyway, now that you have started a new school and a new social life, I would not let that faze me at all. First, they say imitation is the best form of flattery ( and it's true : people criticize you, but then they want to be just like you ?... it must be a case of "sour grapes ". Second and most important, did not you say that you left these people behind and they are history now '... You don't talk to them, you don't hang out any more... ? then, take it a step further and deliver them firmly to your past, by choosing to ignore whatever they may say think or do- they do not exist anymore, you have a new school, new acquaintances, new friends and new plans to look forward to.

P.S. did you break up with the abusive, bullshitting bf btw :)?
