Entitled 17-year-old keeps making 16-year-old friend buy coffees for her, friend calls her out for never paying her back: 'She could easily just go get one herself'

Friends are supposed to have each other's backs and pay each other back. Of course, great friendships should not involve one person keeping score on how much they help the other. Not everything in a friendship can be quantified like that, so tracking how often one person commutes to the other or how often one person helps the other should not tell the full story of the relationship. At the same time, if it was always a great friendship, there shouldn't be an impulse to keep score at all. 

This is unfortunately something that most teenagers and young adults have to learn, especially when they get to a more self-sufficient place. Some friends reveal themselves to be more demanding than others. Even in my late twenties, I remember coming to realize that a close friend was far more reliant on her support system to do things for her than I was or that our other peers were. This teenager had a similar confrontation with her friend after she realized that she was never going to be paid back for all the coffees she had gifted her so-called "bestie."
