Under An Evil Spell?
Dear Guidance Guy,
There is someone at school who put all my friends under her evil spell that attracts them. Now they are mindless followers of this other girl. They are still friends with me, but when they're with me, all they talk about is her and how great she is.
Guidance Guy, what do I do?
A worried friend

Dear Worried,
What makes you think this girl's "spell" is "evil?" It sounds like this girl is attracting people because she is attractive. Could be because she's nice, or pretty, or has interesting things to say. It might even be because she's a good listener. When she starts carrying around voodoo dolls and sticks pins in them, then you can call her evil.
Look on the bright side - your friends are still spending time with you. Get to know this girl better. Maybe she is as great as they say she is. No need to compete with her (yes, you are competing with her). Find out what she does to get so popular, then do some of the same - in your own style. Maybe you can be friends with her as well.
All The Best,
The Guidance Guy
