Lately my friend has really been getting on my nerves. First of all in class she can never do anything on her own, and it's not because she's not smart it's because she's lazy. We just didn't a lab in chemistry and during it me and my other friend took notes as we did our observations just fine and were able to do the lab. But this friend didn't take down notes as she was playing on her phone the whole time. She wants to copy my lab. Like I guess it's not that big of a deal but I just feel like it would ruin my feeling of accomplishment since I'm trying hard in school this year. Also she gets just about everything she wants (not an only child). My parents make me earn what I get. I went out and got a job, and I earn money and buy everything myself. I even pitch in for gas money and my phone bill. She just gets her phone. Her and her mom go out and her mom buys her 80$ jeans and 70$ shoes. (Which I got the same shoes first with my own money). Just recently she wanted new shoes and a new sweater so her mom went online and bought it for her. Plus she gets her mom to take her to McDonald's like alllllll the time. Then she accuses me of being spoiled because my parents bought me concert tickets for two concerts (which was my Christmas present). Lastly she always tells me my boyfriend looks like a rat, and tells everyone she knows that he is a bad guy. I feel so bad for him because people think he's a bad boyfriend because of stuff she spreads when he's actually not. I just cannot handle it anymore but it's not exactly like I can escape her. I just don't know what to do about it.

You have to be blunt with her and tell her. You don't like this behavior... and you aren't going to put up with it anymore if she wishes to remain your friend.

And prepare for the possibility she would rather not be your friend.

We have an old saying.. "with friends like this, who needs enemies."

All the negative you have said about her, why is she still your friend? Leave her alone.
