Q: My friends hardly ever drink, I mean the only time they have is like on holidays and even then it's not much. We're 14/15 years old, and our "parties" usually consist of sitting around in someone's basement. Someone brought up the idea of drinking... I've always been against it, having an alcoholic parent at home, especially at such a young age. I do wish we had more fun though. I'm scared of it but I'm sick of being a goody 2 shoes all the time, but I don't want to take this to the extreme. Help?

Q: I have been friends with this girl, Diane, for two years. We were best friends, but then she did many horrible things to me and we got in a fight. I didn't talk to her for three months. All that happened was she cussed me out twice for no reason in those three months after doing some other things. But for some crazy reason, I took her back as a friend. She broke up with this kid, Michael, and I was talking to him on IM because we were sort of friends. He was saying stuff like, "Oh, she's talking to a bunch of other people. She doesn't have time for us." And I said, "No, she's only talking to one person. This guy named Daniel from New Jersey." And he says, "Does she like him?" So Diane was on and I IMed her and said, "Do you like Daniel?" And she said, "Yes..." So I copied the conversation back to him and he said, "Did he like her why she was going out with me? Can you ask her?" And I IMed Diane again and said, "Did you like him while you were going out with Michael?" Then she said, "Uh, yeah." I felt like Michael needed to know and I didn't want to lie since he told me to ask her and I copied my conversation with Diane to him. He started getting really upset. He got so upset that I felt like crying myself. A few minutes later, Diane signed off. Normally she says bye and stuff, but this time she had just suddenly signed off. Almost ten minutes later, Michael said, "Ok, I'm so sorry. I told her. I copied my conversation with you to her and she said that she had to go and signed off." Now she's mad at me again. Lately she has been very rude to me and some other girls for no reason. I still have not forgiven her completely for what she did to me in the past. Did I do the right thing? Should I apologize or do I just let her go as a friend?

Q: me and my friend want to hang out tonight, but we really don't have anywhere to go. we've done the mall countless times, and there's no movies to go see. is there anywhere else or anything me and my friend can do to entertain ourselves?


HELP.

Q: Me and my friend have been best friends for about a year...she started going out with this guy and we stopped hanging out like we used to and yes it dissapointed me but im okay with it now. Well all of a sudden she starts telling me how they are arguing over stupid stuff and then he comes and pulls me aside and tells me the same thing. It's been going on for about a month & its really annoying. Well then her bf tells me one day that he wants to get a hotel room with me and chill and go party at the clubs all night. My friend can't leave her house because shes grounded. Well at first i was shocked but then i thought well yea that could be cool. Well the night before we went we were all drinking and since she cant leave he asked me to walk him home. so i said yea bc he lives right near me. well he started saying that if we were drunk would anything happen. i said i dont know. and then i said well i dont think u would cheat on "barbra". and he said well u never kno but i would cheat on her with you if we were both drunk. At that point i didnt know what to do so i walked him home and left. What should i do!?

Q: I've known my bestfriend since 7th grade (we're now both juniors) and we're the closest two friends can get and I love her to death.


Our freshman year, we'd always hear about this girl Meagan and how slutty and bitchy she is. Meagan is a grade ahead of us. Well, 2nd semester of freshman year my bestfriend had a class with her but only for about a week because she got switched out.


Last year, my sophomore year, I was in a class with her for the whole year and at fisrt I didn't like her because of the things I've heard but we started talking and she wasn't that bad. Yeah, some of the rumors were true but she was still a good, fun friend. Now we're really good friends. Not as good as my bestfriend and I, but nevertheless, friends.


So whenever I'm with my bestfriend, and I talk about Meagan, she gives me this disgusted look and talks smack about her. I tell her to shut up and not talk about people she doesn't know and then that's the end of it.


Meagan and I are going to a concert in July and I asked my bestfriend if she wanted to come with us because I know she likes that band. Well, she told me that if Meagan is going, she isn't.


How can I get her to stop being so judgmental and at least try to actually meet her?

Q: Well see there's girl and her name is Emily Witt. And she is kind of my hero. I mean p.e. is uber cool with her (scratch Ms. Mahony, of course.) and like one time i was on the phone with her and she was telling me how she fell down the stairs so I acted it out and then i fell down the stairs and I broke both of my ears. And now Im very very mad. what should I do

Q: I have a best friend whom I've known since the 7th grade, and one of the things we promised each other in our ring of friends is that "Friends come first always before boyfriends." However, I feel that this best friend of mine is not keeping this promise. Besides being close friends with me, she also had this really close guy-friend since the 7th grade, who has now become her boyfriend. I know that I should understand that its okay for her to be closer to him because they were close before, and are now in a relationship together, but I feel hurt that its against what we promised... Like, she would always, always stress it to to us that friends are always first, but this now seems hypocritical... We rarely talk on the phone anymore, or talk at all because she's always spending time with her boyfriend... What can I do to repair this friendship, or to understand???

Thank you very much. (16/f - Junior)

Q: I have been really good friends witht this chick for a long time but then she got drunk and something happened one night and she did something that i thought would never happen, she flashed me. I didnt care cause we were too good of friends but i told her what she did and then another one of her best friends told her that it never happened and now she believes them and has forgot about me and wont talk to me...however it really did happen and i have no idea what to do about it..how do i convince her it was true and it did happen? Then if i cant convince her how do i gain her trust back? Thanks!

Q: This sounds kind of cliche, but I don't have any friends. I have acquatences (sp?) at school and really only one friend who goes to another school and she is going to another country in the summer. Its not that I'm unable to make friends. Most people that I meet like me and I like them, I'm quite friendly. I just never seem to become close with any of them. I used to be with a group of friends, but we're not in touch anymore. I don't want to be alone all summer, I was wondering of anyone could tell me where to meet new people that I could become friends with and stay in touch with. Any help along the lines of getting friends and keeping them would be very much appreciated. I'll rate high.

Q: I don't want this to be long or panic-y, but I need some advice. My friend and I are 13. There is a 17-year old across the street who is 17 and a juvi. My parents think he is 18, but really isn't. We played basketball with let's call him C, and we got his number. We hung out with him and we lied about out ages and we said we were 15 and 16. We lied about where we go to school and everything, and now we're hanging out with him. I've been lying to my parents about where we going and everything, but here is the main problem. I'm going into 8th grade this fall, and getting on the bus (right in front of my house!) in the morning is no big, but when the bus drops us off, it's 3:50pm. Big problem, because C smokes, and has to go outside and smokes. What if he sees us? I really hate to lie to everyone around me, and the lies keep getting bigger. Should I be honest with C? My friend and I have been flirting big time with him, and that will ruin out friendship. And, the other problem, even though C is moving is September, I'll have started school, and his brothers go to my new school! What should I do as an overall result? Thanks so much!
