My best friend and I are extremely close, we can talk about anything. our friendship is alot deeper than most friends. but anyways, her mom has breast cancer and she just found out. she talks about it to me alot, but most of the time i just say "im sorry" or something vague like that. usually we help out eachother through tough times like tht but this is so major, i have no clue wat to say when i talk to her abotu it. wat things are good to say that will make her feel better but not make her cry. thank u :) (link)
Dear Cancer,

wow. that must be tough. i'm sure if i was your bff i would want y friend to be supportive and comfort me through it all. why dont you just say everything will be fine. help her through it. if she cries, cry with her. if you have any other questions then contact me. my mom had breast cancer also, so i know pretty much all you need too. i'll pray for her..

my "best friend" is a huge bitch and she lives far away from me so we only talk online and stuff.

We don't get along ever, she's such an annoying bitch and we're practically polar opposites. She's always happy and uppity no matter what, i'm always sad and mad and monotonous. She's shallow and materialistic, I'm the deepest person ever.

She has this boy who she's only seen a few times in her life and they talk online and stuff and she thinks she's his girlfriend just because they've been talking online and on the phone and he calls her his "girlfriend". They haven't even had a date.

I talk to him(or used to) sometimes because we used to think we were going to hook up, and recently when I talked to him he said "ellen doesn't want me to talking to you anymore, so bye bye." and then he just blocked me! i was so offended and it made me cry.


My question is this: does this bitch have the right to tell this boy that he can't talk to me?



What should I do I hate her so much and she makes me feel SO much worse about myself, she doesn't understand basic social graces and she thinks she knows everything and she's only 13! i'm more than a year older than her and all she can talk about is HERSELF and just OMFG I HATE HER SO FUCKING MUCH!


so any advice would be appreciated. thanks. (link)
Dear Best Friend,

Wow. That's harsh! I really dont thing that she is someone you would even want to call a bff. Why dont you try to find new friends who will have more common interests wih you?? And I dont think that someone has the right to tell someone else what to do. I think that she's just puling your strings. Honestly-- she's probably just jealous or feels like that is the way she has to act to be your friend or as "mature" as you, when she's just making a fool out of herself. Why don't you say to her in a nice way that the way she is acting is immature and she needs to think about others, or else she wont have any real friends...


Help..I have this really good friend...but her family doesn't treat her very well. They don't treat her horribly...but just not like parents should. They don't pay attention to her, they don't eat meals very often, and her parents are always in a fight...what do I do about the situation? (link)
Dear Family,

If you are hesitant on the thought of how they treat her why dont you just see how she feels about her family?? If something really if wrong then you should tell your parents and see what they think and try to get them to talk to her parents. Not only will the trust and communication in the relationship between you and your parents get stronger, but hers will too.



My best friend can't stand to be single. She just moved to a new city for a job, so I know she is kind of lonely but she is fallen in with a guy who was fooling around with her very heavily while he was still with his girlfriend of two years. When I went to visit her a few weeks ago he didn’t exactly make a good impression on me. I was there for three days and I never saw him sober, I saw him give a lap dance to two other girls and cuddle with another, and although I was friendly and trying to get to know him better he didn't just ignore me, he was flat out rude to me. I have a hard time to believe he'd treat the best friend so shabbily (or do all the other jackassy things I saw him do) if he was really serious about her.

Now whenever I talk to her all she ever wants to talk about is how wonderful he is or bad-mouth his girlfriend. I'm sick to death of hearing her swoon over this awful guy and bad mouth the girl he is cheating on! Of course she is suspicious and needy. I wonder why she’d feel that way? Maybe because he is cheating on her!

My friend says I’m not being supportive of her and that if I can’t just be happy for her she doesn’t want to talk to me anymore. Is there anyway I can let her know that I don't have a problem with her being happy with this guy but I'm not going to lie and pretend he is prince charming when he clearly isn't? Also, how can I explain to her that bad mouthing the girl he is cheating on with her is just plain rotten and bitchy?

I’m not very impressed with her right now, but she is still my friend... (link)
Dear Supportive or Honest,

You should definitely let her know that she is better than that. Why don't you talk to her and let her know that if he is already cheating on his present girlfriend, then how would he treat her. Let her know that he's not worth the heartbreak. If she has just moved to a new city then she has plenty more options than before, so she should see who is out there than making a commitment to someone who is already taken.. Besides, a true friend is supportive by being honest. Your friend might not realize it at first but you are doing it for her benefit.
