Ghettotissuebox answered Wednesday August 18 2004, 9:48 pm: I have gone through this MANY times. I answer is easy. If its not your problem, don't try to fix it. Be nuetral( on no ones side) It one of the person involved in teh fight say "Isn't so and so being mean?" Respond with a simple, "Im not involved in this." If they get mad for you not gossiping and not getting involved just say, " Everytime i try to help people get mad at me. so im staying out of it. Simple as that. Your friends can;t always expect you the be the Problem solver. Its there fight, so its there problem. If a fight breaks out when you guys are out, Just say something like "Drop it guys, we went out to have a good time, and this isn't my idea of one, so Quit it!"
Hope it works out!
