Talk:Pretty isn't the Point/@comment-25936764-20150214002926/@comment-26211734-20150214045922

You may not like this, since it's the harder way to deal with this. Ok so she might be doing this because she has a bad home life, is abused, has depression, that stuff; so don't retaliate. Maybe she can't control her life at home so she's controlling you and your friends. Talk to her, but don't just let it all out at once. Be kind, considerate, understanding, not patronizing. Even if you don't know it. She may be hiding behind her Queen Bee persona. Nobody is pure evil or mean without cause; be a good friend to her. As for the others: they probably feel the same way you do; maybe you can enlist their help. So there's a chance she is being mean because she has other problems, not abuse or mental issues or such. Maybe she has bent under pressures to be pretty and popular and narcissistic and controlling. Whatever it is, just be the kind of friend to her that you want her to be to you.
