    Kids are weird! But then again all my GFs used to shout the brokest one for a big night out.

    If she really is sponging, her friends will get sick of it and withdraw their wallets, then she will learn.....and you can debate about saying I told you so....again

    I agree, I felt like when i was a teenage that ALL my friends walked all over me, I was the only one with the car and the took advantage of that, but of course never paid for gas!. B*T@@*S.
    But it will work it self out in time.

    Have you tried talking to her about how if she uses her friends like that she might find that she ends up having none. That you can still show your friends how much you appriciate them without it costing alot, and that maybe she should think about how she could show them she is gratefull for the help!.
    I mean I dont think it will work cause WHEN does a teenager listen, but its worth you trying
    Good luck
