15 Friendship Deal Breakers Every Teen Needs To Know

Friendship is a tricky thing to deal with, especially when you're in school. It's difficult to navigate the treacherous waters that are the pool of potential friends, and you might sometimes find it easier to stick with that old group of friends you've had for years. But what if one of your friends treats you badly? Or what if one of these new friends isn't good for you? Here are our friendship deal breakers; you deserve better friends who treat you like the queen you are.

1. They constantly cancel plans without any warning or any explanation.

2. They're always competing with you.

Friendship isn't a competition, it's a team sport.

3. They're a complete attention hog, but don't give attention in return.

4. They're openly mean to you and put you down.

5. They always pick a fight with you.

6. They're constantly gossiping about their other "friends" to you.

If they gossip to you then they probably gossip about you.

7. They borrow stuff but never return it or they ruin it.

8. They always try to one-up you.

Similar to competing, they've always have to get the better story.

9. They embarrass you in public on purpose.

10. They ask to borrow money a lot.

11. They spill a secret you asked them to keep.

12. They're constantly talking about their significant other.

Yes, it's grand to hear about your SO, but I don't want to hear about them all the time.

13. They never chip in for gas.

14. They've got no sense of humour.

90% of what comes out of my mouth is meant to be funny or sarcastic, so if you can't pick up on that we've got almost nothing to talk about.

15. They dump their problems onto you.
