MIXING IT UP WITH
MONTANA
I can’t seem to find a group of girls that are really nice. I’m super tired of the backstabbing and the
drama. What’s your advice on finding a better group of girls?

Hi Annie! This is such a great question and one that everyone experiences once, if not more, in their lifetime.
While everyone is growing up, some grow up interested in other things. What’s important is to find people you
have common interests in or even talk to someone you’ve never talked to before. You might be overlooking
someone you have so much in common with just because you two don’t see each other.
If you see someone who’s wearing a cool shirt for a band you like, tell them
that. If you see them carrying a book that you’ve read, talk to them. Sure, it
might feel awkward to just walk up to someone, but it could be so
unexpected and you could find out you have a favorite TV show in common.
You’ll never know until you try and talk to someone. I met one of my best
friends because she turned to me during softball conditioning and
complained about the workout. I met my boyfriend by telling him I thought he
was cute and funny.
Some girls will live their lives by drama and backstabbing. They may
outgrow that or they might not. If you know that you don’t want drama in
your life or the possibility of backstabbing, just do your own thing. You’ll get
in a routine, you’ll find kids you have similar classes with. If you are just
yourself, you can’t lose because if someone doesn’t like you for who you are
then it’s their loss because you are an awesome person and just because
you don’t believe what everyone else does, doesn’t make you weird or
anything.
I have learned that by keeping the drama away, you tend to have a better
focus on life and what is important to you. The most important thing for you
to do is to make sure you’re happy.
