Beware. Bad behavior can get you cut from a wedding guest list. At least it happened to a friend of mine last year.
Do Tell: Have You Ever Had a Jealous Friend?
Last Friday, Tyra Banks hosted a show on jealousy and friendships. On air, one woman confronted her friend for copying her hairstyle and her wardrobe and also accused the friend of resenting her success. The accused friend admitted that being a cash-strapped single mom made her envious of her friend.
Book Bag: Girls Against Girls
Gossiping, cyberbullying, "slut-bashing" — girls may not often handle their aggression by punching people in the face, but they have many weapons in their arsenal to cause tremendous pain to others (usually other girls).
So what to do about it? Author Bonnie Burton decided there needed to be a book about mean girls addressed to teens themselves and not just to their parents and teachers, so she wrote Girls Against Girls: Why We Are Mean to Each Other and How We Can Change.
High School Reunions Offer a Second Chance For Popularity
High school reunions may warrant a fresh haircut and a new outfit, but some people go to extremes to impress former nerds, band geeks, jocks, and cheerleaders.

Have You Ever Skipped Out on a Bachelorette Party?
Bachelorette parties come in all shapes and sizes (as do male strippers). Some brides want relaxing girls' getaways, while others go for wild and crazy Vegas-style parties.
A wedding calls for a celebration, and the bachelorette party is an opportune time to spend some quality time with your good friends, but celebrating a friend's impending end to singledom could be time-consuming and expensive if it involves going somewhere.
Well-Being: That's What Friends Are For
This will come as no surprise to women who have strong bonds with their friends, but friendship helps them to be healthier and to live longer lives — even more so than their relationships to their spouse or family.
“In general, the role of friendship in our lives isn’t terribly well appreciated,” said Rebecca G. Adams, a professor of sociology at the University of North Carolina, Greensboro.
Awkward! Wedding Guest's Plus One Is Disliked by the Bride
Getting your guest list sorted out is one of the most crucial and stressful parts of wedding planning. For example, do single friends get to bring dates? From my experience, if a guest is a good friend of the couple, she is afforded a plus one.
Where Do You Stand? Going to the Bathroom in Front of Your Girlfriends
I have to say ladies, I was pretty surprised to see how many of you feel comfortable going to the bathroom in front of your significant other! And while most of you draw the line at going pee, some of you felt that even that was taking it too far. So to delve deeper into this subject, I thought I'd ask where you stand on going to the bathroom in front of your girlfriends!
Do Tell: Have You Ever Been Jealous of a Friend's Engagement?
When you've hit that point in your relationship where it's just a matter of time before he asks you to marry him, the wait can feel like an eternity. So when a friend gets engaged before you, it can make you green with envy, not to mention even more restless. While the engagement race may seem foolish to some, it does exist, so tell me, have you ever been secretly jealous or disappointed that a friend got engaged before you?
