I feel torn between two groups of friends. One group (Group 1) doesnt like the my friends in the other group (Group 2). They are always fighting and I fel that if I stand up for my friends in Group 1 then my friends in Group 2 will hate me. Group 2 friends are always teasing and saying really rude things to Group 1 friends. I DO stand up for my friends....I just feel that I am hurting my other friends by standing up for them and telling them to back off and to stop saying those things. Group 2 doesnt ever seem to minds it when I tell them to back off but then they never talk to me unless Group 1 isnt around. How can I not feel so torn between my friends? I love them all and dont want to lose any of them!

And if they are your friends they will respect your wishes and not talk about the other ones. [ XoAlexandra's advice column | Ask XoAlexandra A Question ]

I don't think that you really have to deside between them. If they are really your friends, they should like you know matter who your other friends are. Tell them that. If a group doesn't agree with you, then you probably shouldn't hang out with them anyway.
