Taylor Swift has been through it too -- find out how she coped.
Friends can be fickle creatures. One minute they're your BFFs for life, and the next they're your worst enemies. No matter how many parents and siblings tell you it will all work out, it's hard to think past the pain you're feeling at that moment. If you can't take tips from mom, how about from Taylor Swift?
She may be at the top of the Billboard charts now, but when Taylor was in middle school, even she lost a group of buddies to the battles of junior high. You might think that the country cutie would feel a twinge of anger when thinking about her past friendships, but Taylor actually is grateful.
"I got to write songs about it -- my first songs were written because of trying to deal with that emotion," she told "CosmoGirl" magazine. Taylor used her experiences to fuel her songwriting and work her way to a fabulous career. It goes to show you that friendship drama can sting, but it heals with time. And, who knows, maybe you'll translate your experience into a recording contract of your own!
Even though she's exorcised her middle school demons, Taylor admits that when she returns home and sees one of her former frenemies, she gets the same feeling of awkwardness she did in junior high. "I still feel like my hair is frizzy and people are looking at me."
