Taylor Swift has been through it too -- find out how she coped.

Taylor_Swift_friend_advice.jpgFriends 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."

hi tyra. i go to a high school where most of the kids are hispanic and im african american. a lot of the people i know are hispanic or other races and sometimes thats hard for me to find my place. a teacher made a comment the other day about how when she goes to the cafeteria she always sees all the people with their own race and that really didnt apply to me. for a while i struggled to find my own place and i still do and a lot of times i think i stand out because im not with the black girls in school. but i think that being friends with different people is a good thing and it still makes me uncomfortable to see a group of black girls and look at me with my friends and see that im the only one among a group of hispanics but i learned to accept the people who im friends with and whoever else comes along that i think is good friend material i can accept them no matter what race.
 
hi Tyra, i have been watching your show since it began, granted i have missed quite a few of them, but i still watch it when i can! i keep watching your show about bullying. i am being given a very hard time at school over the last 2 years. i am 14 and in middle school, in kenya. when i was in 5th grade this girl came to the school, she was very pretty, but she did alot wrong as far as lieing and trying to pin things on others...when we got into 6th grade i was her friend, probably one of her only friends, but she turned her back on me a few months inato our friendship. a group of girls including me and some boys had had enough of her lying that we went as far as makeing her life miserable.on the last day of 6th grade it was her last day in africa and there was a huge blow up between her and me and the other girls...i had realized how wrong we had been to do it so i appoligised. then in 7th grade the begining of the year was ok then when we got to the end i started to get a bff so i thought.as we came into the 8th grade recently i had 2bff and was gaining another one who i could tell everything...but she started getting far to bossy.we have a girl talk every once a month, and i asked 2 teachers whether me and the other 2 girls should tell her, and they said i should if i thought the friendshp was strong enough, which i thought it was.so all 4 of us got together and we talked. she was hurt when we told her...so we gave her some time.there

Dear Miss Banks: I understand how you can loose friends very easy.I believed that that my friends were pretty good people till I started having seisures.Once you are a labeled and Epiletic there are a lot of people that dont want to be around you.Now that my seisures have gotten to the point of having about twice a week I rarly get out of the house.But they say 100.000 adults will get this every year.Maybe some wont get the severe partial complex type but were all going to loose some friends.Take care I just passed out at my desk one day.That is just the way our lives and loosing our friends can happen.So take care and enjoy the holidays to its fullest.Robert Davis
