admiration crosses over the line into jealousy? for most teens there will come a day when you realize that one of your friends is jealous and that this jealousy is hurting your friendship. when this happens it can seem like there is nothing that you can do, but the good news is that there is. dont let jealousy spoil your relationships. tackle it head on and you might be back to normal much sooner

jealous of you (unless of course you want to appear totally conceited), just take some time alone with them and let them know that youve been feeling like theres been something coming between you. if

works out.even the best of friendships can be tinged by jealousy. this destructive emotion is rarely productive and can turn best friends into worst enemies. before taking extreme action, chat with
