There are best friends and then there are bad friends who aren't great for your relationships. They become the bane of your existence. If you're in doubt about who you can trust or keep around as close buddies for the next 10 years to life, here is a list I've put together of the five friends you should avoid and get rid of.

The Drama Queen

You've all come across one of these ladies at some point. Simplicity and quiet are not her strong points. She must be heard at all times and requires undying attention about often nonsensical things. She over exaggerates everything and magnifies situations others disregard.

Drama queens are very transparent and not very good at hiding there emotions so its best you leave this person alone or else you will become second class in any situation that involves her.

The Obsessed Caretaker

This friend is none other than the one who wants to constantly play mother and must fix all situations that involve crisis in your life. Her dream come true is to always see you distressed, depressed or out of luck, so she always have an excuse to save you to get the upper hand in the where would you be if it wasn't for me arguments

So here's what you can do: Say your goodbyes and send her to the curve, or keep playing the role of damsel in distress. I think you'll find choice number one more appealing.

The I Don't Have Female Friends Lady

You've heard or seen this lady friend many times. She has no girlfriends, because she never get along with other females or they're all jealous of me. She of course generally have many guy friends as lapdogs and yes men. A good percentage of these guy friends are waiting for the moment to become more than just friends and she knows this so she keeps them around hopelessly.

How do you get rid of this bad friend? Well she does it for you, because she prefers to never be near you.

The Frenemy

This friend is one to criticize or put down anything you do, wear, or buy. She throws insults at you with the smile of an angel in hopes to destroy your self-esteem. She pretends to like you but will jump on any opportunity to point out every possible meaningless flaw you might have. She hates you, but keep you around to make herself feel better.

What to do about this two-faced girlfriend? Simply put, get rid of her. A best friend will never attempt to destroy your self image or self-esteem.

The Man Snatcher

There's an unwritten rule among friends especially girls. If I see him first and like him first, no matter how long its been, hands off so you called friend of mine. Its a total disrespect when any friend suddenly charges in and stake claim to the guy you've been wanting for so long. This rule also applies to guys.

You can weed out this man snatcher, by how less attention she pays you when that special guy you desire comes around. Her attention and conversation will always be switch to your potential guy.

Keep a sharp eye out for these five bad friends and do all you can to avoid and get rid of them.
