Being a girl is really hard…so how about us girls make a pact to make it a little easier on all of us?

1. Don’t date your friends’ ex boyfriends.

Why might you ask? It will probably really hurt their feelings and will make them not want to be your friend anymore. Ex-boyfriends are 100% off limit. It’s simple really.

2. Don’t knowingly let boys cheat with you.

If you know he has a nice girlfriend sitting at home, do not aid him in cheating on her and potentially changing her outlook on love. Most of us have been the girl that gets cheated on and we all know it sucks, so don’t play a part in making another girl feel that worthlessness. Don’t be the girl that helps end a relationship and plays a part in hurting the heart of the nice girl involved. I know you might think he’s awesome and everything, but if he cheats with you, he’ll cheat on you. Don’t start that cycle.

3. Do not insult other girls on things they can’t change.

For example, do not make fun of another girls’ weight, height, body structure, facial features, etc. People can’t help the way their DNA designed them. Girls are insecure as is, so don’t make that worse for them over things they genuinely have no control over.

4. If someone tells you something private out of genuine trust, do not tell other people.

They clearly have a lot of respect for you and have a lot of faith in your character so don’t blow that by sharing something personal they told you out of trust for you.

5. It is not okay to share your friends’ secrets and issues just because you guys quit being friends.

When you signed up to be her friend, you signed up to take those secrets to the grave regardless of whether you stayed friends or not. At one time you were her friend and you two did care about each other, so remember that.

6. Don’t hate your boyfriend's ex only because she's his ex.

Her being his ex girlfriend isn’t reason enough to hate her. If she stays away and doesn’t mess with your relationship whatsoever, there is no reason to bash her and hate on her. If she bashes you and him and tries to start things between the two of you, now that's a different story.

7. Watch out for your friends when they’re drunk.

Never under any circumstances let your extremely intoxicated friend go home with a stranger. Do not let your friend do anything that could be potentially embarrassing and detrimental in the future. Don’t let people document said friend doing embarrassing things. Just don’t abandon your drunk friends.

8. Just watch out for other girls in general.

If you see a nice girl sitting alone getting hit on by a creep, rescue her. Pretend to be her friend, do something, anything to save her.

9. Always share your tampons, hair ties, perfume, etc.

with other girls even if they’re strangers. We’ve all been there. Sharing is caring my friends.

10. Never, never, NEVER go after a guy you know your friend is crushing on.

It’s not cool.

11. Always listen to your friend vent about her relationships even if her boyfriend is a total jerk.

Very kindly state that said boyfriend is a jerk and she deserves better. However, do not grill her about breaking up with him and blow her off when she wants to talk. We’ve all been caught up on the really crappy guy and it’s not a fun position to be in. Empathize instead of criticize.

Just treat other girls how you would want them to treat you and maybe, just maybe, the girl world might get just a little easier to live in.
