My Ghetto Fabulous Friend

Posted Under: advice

PRINCESS!

My girlfriend is so obsessed with music artists that she goes to every concert, spends all of her money going to the places where they hang out hoping for a chance to “get with” one of these guys and end up being on the arm of a star and living in a big house. I used to hang out with her and it was fun for a little while, now it’s getting so out of hand that she doesn’t want to go to work or to school and it’s affecting our friendship. She’s even gone so far as to borrow money from me to buy name brand outfits to wear to get their attention. How do I tell her that I can’t take her behavior anymore? It’s ruining not only our friendship but her reputation. - Shady

Speak loudly and clearly, that’s how you tell her. Your friend is delusional and needs to snap out of it. It sounds like she’s been watching too much MTV Cribs or has whet her appetite on the glamorous life by sipping some domestic champagne and dreaming about BLING and is long overdue for a wake up call. Everything has a dark side including the life she’s craving. I’m not certain how old she is but she needs to stay in school, graduate, go to college and find a career for herself. Groupies aren’t even a dime a dozen, they’re a nickel and I can give her a list of things she can “get” if she doesn’t start playing it safe (some of them are incurable). Express to your friend that she can obtain the same things she craves from these men by working hard and buying them for herself. At least once you’ve told her how you feel you can say that you tried. I hope the two of you can work the kinks out of your friendship, because it seems that it will last longer than any of those other relationships she’s contemplating.
