What advice would you give to a friend who is being mistreated by a friend?

What advice would you give to someone who is hurting because of the way a friend treated her. This is a friend in her mid 20s who befriended someone who had just moved to town %26amp; introduced her to all her friends. This new girl just kind of moved in %26amp; took over...you know the kind, always has to be the center of attention and pretty much just took over the origional girl's circle of friends. Now the new girl has turned some of the friends against my friend who was nice enough to introduce her around. The new girl is going out of her way to be very mean %26amp; hurtful. This new girl acts like everyone is her best friend, even though most of the friends have no clue what the new girl is really like.





My friend is upset %26amp; hurting and I want to console her. I have known my friend for years %26amp; she is one of the sweetest, most caring people I know. It hurts me to see her in so much pain. What do you think I should say to her?What advice would you give to a friend who is being mistreated by a friend?
I agree with the 1st poster totally. If these ''friends'' were really her friends they wouldn't have turned on her. Period. She has you and that is good enough right there. Im sure she'll make newer and better friends in the future. As for the new girl and the circle of so called friends let them have each other sounds like they belong together. HTH.What advice would you give to a friend who is being mistreated by a friend?
thank God that she has u by her side.u r the real friend.
tell her to talk to her friends. i've been the new girl in this situation before and from her point of veiw she;s hurting a little bit too- she just wants to be accepted and she's nottrying to hurt anyone. so just look at it from her point of veiw then have your friend talk to them.
The people at fault are her so-called friends who abandoned her and even turned against her. No one forced them to do that. So she's better off without them--and she has you. That's good enough already.
