DEAR ABBY: I have a friend who is getting on my nerves. She tells me what to do, and if I disagree, she always says: "I win, you lose. I'm big, you're little. I'm right, you're wrong -- and there's nothing you can do about it."
I want to tell her that this is really frustrating me and I want her to stop, but I don't know how. -- UPSET FRIEND IN IOWA
DEAR UPSET: It appears you have made friends with the neighborhood bully. The next time she goes into her song and dance, say: "Excuse me! You may be big, but I'm small and mighty. You're NOT right, and there's plenty I can do about it. I can stop being your friend unless you learn how to compromise." And if she doesn't change her ways, do exactly that -- because the person you have described doesn't sound like much of a friend to me.
