ok..lets get to it my bestfriend wants me to smoke weed with her and i dont want to but she said she wont be my friend if i dont do it....what should i do (link)
Tell her NO!!!!!!
You don't want friends like that anyway.


Okay, two of my best friendsare really good friends between themselves too, but they fight ALOT!! i try to just sit them down and talk to them, and sometimes i'm the go-between, but right now im caught in the middle. Like, at lunch today, they were in the middle of a fight, and not even sitting at the same table, and both wanted me to sit with them, but i didn't wanna choose a side, so i sat with some of my other friends, and they both got mad at me for that!! What can i do? they wont even listen to me!! (link)
Tell them that you hate what they're doing, and you won't be putting up with it (nicely). You don't need to put up with them, or choose sides. They should at least not fight while you're around. If it gets too out of hand, spend time with other people until they stop.


Well!My friend a while ago started cutting herself, but then she stopped. Today I hit her arm and she said ouch. I knew right away what she did because she gave me this look. Then she laughed about it. I honestly don’t think that it is funny. She is one of my best friends and I don’t need her going off and hurting herself. When she laughs about it, it makes me feel like she doesn’t want me to care or anything. She showed me her arm and it looks pretty bad and shes like ooo its not that bad. I don’t want to tell an adult but she has been pretty depressed latly and I don’t kno anymore if I should continue helping her about it or just give her her own space. (link)
Try to help her, but not too much. Give her space if she needs it but don't let her keep cutting herself. Tell her parents if it gets really serious. But whatever you do, DON'T drag more people into this. Don't tell someone like your friend or teacher unless it's necessary.


13/f. I have this friend. We've been friends for two years already. Well, he's nice a lot. We make jokes and all. But other times he makes me upset. He talks badly about my friends. He also always comments on my profile on AIM. He tells me somehow how I'm wrong in what I put, or how it's dumb. He promises time and time again to keep my crushes a secret, but tells them anyway. Half of our grade finds out and soon enough I'm a laughing stock. I no longer tell him but sometimes when he's nice I do it anyway. In person he's got a really great personality. We used to date in 6th grade and he was the sweetest guy. When we broke up he talked about all the things I didn't do perfectly when we were going out. He makes me upset basically just online. So what do I do? (link)
You should stop being his friend. It might be hard, but it's not worth being friends with someone who makes your life misearble over and over.


i use to be really good friends with this gurl. but we dont talk anymore. we both said some really bad things about eachother. she wrote a note to when we were friends saying that we would be friends forever no matter what. I feel like she wants to fix things with me but im not sure. Should i talk to her. If i do what should i say? (link)
I think you should talk to her. She seems to be trying to make up. If she continues to be disrespectful, leave her.


What do you do if you think someone is really annoying and she is at your house all the time..she thinks that i am her friend but im not..what should i do? (link)
Tell her that you seem to have no privacy and want to be left alone sometimes. You don't need to be rude, just tell her as nicely as you can. She won't keep this up forever. If it gets really bad, tell someone like your parents.


ok so my x-best friends ruined my life for the past couple months n now they wanna be friends again.. do i say yes n get hurt again or hold a grudge?? or neither... HELP!! (link)
I wouldn't recommend becoming friends, just tell them nicely that you aren't interested.


i moved away from my best friend 2 years ago, and it really feels like we're drifting apart.. she doesn't want us to stop being best friends and neither do i but our lives are so separate now and neither of us can pay to fly up and visit, so everything is just getting so strained.. and shes the only person i can talk to, so i dont know what to do because i know i'll go insane if we end up not being as good friends anymore.. but i dont know how to stay friends! any suggestions? (link)
You can aways write to her or call her. If she has a computer, use email or IM. Of course you can make new friends, but you don't have to leave her behind. :-)


What do you do when your best friend is kind of blowing you off and when you aren't hanging out anymore. I miss her and don't want to let go. (link)
Sorry, but she is just telling you that she doesn't want to be your friend anymore. You should start searching for some new friends,ones that will value your freindship.


One of my bff's, Becca, who i've known since i was 5 years old has a very bad self image. She thinks she's ugly, but then again I've never met someone who's ever said "wow im pretty" (about themself). She even started crying the other night and saying that she was depressed because she thinks shes ugly. Me and my friend Alicia have told her a million times that shes not ugly but she won't believe us. What are we supposed to do? (link)
She might lack self-confidence. But she might also have anorexia. This is when a girl thinks she is ugly and fat when she is not and may starve herself. Is she secretive? Moody? Does she spend lots of time in the bathroom after eating? Does she eat very little? She may need professianal help. If she /is/ just with very low self confidence, DON'T keep saying how wonderful she is. DO cheer her up and try to keep her mind off of it. If she want to be alone, let her. (And don't give her presents like makeup. That will make her feel worse.)
