My fav band became ACDC after ive loved all classics my whole life seeing sas ive grown up around it...?
then the next week shes all about them when shes told me she ccsnt stand rock!
Same with colors, friends, ideas, anything. i cant stand it. and people have tried to tell her, but she doesnt get it. when i like certain bands i dont wanna have tyo change it just because shes copying it! it bothers me. and then she tells me that i copied her and rhat shes always liked em! ghelp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok well this is something you should make into a positive. I use to dye my hair weird colors in random places all the time. And it seemed like every time I would do something new to my hair at least 3 people would come to school 2 days later with the exact same hair as me. Just look at it this way, you start trends you don't follow them.

Hmm. I see your problem better than you think. I know more than one person like that. we argue about it, but we always are friends in the end. Just kinda ignore it for a while. then if it continujes to bother you, say soemthing. and If i were doig that to somene [which i'm not] :) i would be sure that i'd catch on, and also change some things just to show themi'm not. like make my own decisions prehaps?

Hey Kelly, nice to meet you too :]. I think you should keep it to yourself, but since it's really bothering you maybe when she talks about songs you can change the subject. Or you can say you like some other type of music (don't lie, though, please,) while you both are with large groups of people (please do not embarrass her, of course,) and as she keeps copying you I think people will gradually catch on. She sounds like she is just looking up to you, or maybe she just wants to give new bands a try, or maybe she wants something to be in common with you, or maybe she just listened to the music and liked it, so don't be angry, please!

You don't have to change your favorite thing after she likes it too. My friend thinks I do that too. It's just because were so close. She does it to me too. Trust me, it's no big deal.



Another friend: She know's and calls me out when I copy her.

Hah I had some friends like that . Just look at it maybe she feels your her role model. Feel happy about that . Maybe she's just shy and don't wanna tell you . She could be looking up to you.

She must be born in May - she will never form her own opinion, she needs to copy.

peer pressure?



hell, go jump off a bridge, see if she'll follow you (don't really jump off)
