I walk to school with two people. One is my friend and one is very annoying and tags along. She listens to our conversations when she knows they are between me and my friend, she always chatters on endlessly as well!
How can I tell her to go away without causing an argument?

Does your friend also find her annoying?

Leave earlier, leave later, come right out and tell her that you and your friend want to walk to school by yourselves. I think that's mean, but if she's that annoying there's little else you can do. Of course, isn't school over for the summer very soon?

Hope after you dump her that she's not popular in middle school, because that would make you, Cool or not, the odd person out.

Just don't talk to her... hopefully she will get the message eventually... or you can flat out tell her.

But then... its a public street... you really can't dictate who walks with or near you.

And incidentally... there is safety in numbers. You may not like her... but you are safer with her there.

And actually... being nice to the people you don't like would be a good skill to learn... because the earlier you do.. the better it will be.

She might end up beign the boss for a great job you hope to get... but if you are mean to her, she will never forget it and you will never get that job.

Yes... stuff like that does really happen. More frequently than you can imagine.

You don't have to like someone to be nice and cordial to them. And people that can do that... find they have more and better friends than people who are mean to everyone but their closest friends.

My daughter goes through this and it annoys me because I was never this way. This girl is annoying you by talking to you and trying to fit in... that's all she's looking for probably. She just wants to be friends and, if you're anything like my snobby daughter and her friends, then you are excluding this other girl simply because she is not part of your "circle". I see this a lot and I feel bad for the kid that's being left out because they haven't done anything wrong... and then in their attempt to try and get noticed or fit in, they then become annoying.

Kids are so vicious and cruel.

You might find that if you try including this girl in your conversations, that she is actually not a bad person... but you'll never know unless you give her a chance.

Well, the OP obviously thinks she's cool. Cool in elementary school is often not cool in middle school, so she may be the unwanted person.

And, yes, this is cruel.
