Original Visitor's Question from a 13-20 year old Female
I know that this is probably a stupid questoin to ask, but how do I overcome being jealous of this other person. She's always bragging about what her and her boyfriend did [she knows that I like her boyfriend] and trying to make me jealous. This girl is sort of my friend and sort of not. I really need some advice on what to do.
