This might not seem serious to you but it is to me
Question Posted Saturday November 6 2004, 1:55 pm
Well there's this guy,Ben and I used to like him and I dont anymore but I still get jealous when he talks about his girl or when he hangs all over my sister Joanna who he totally likes and its so easy to tell that. But my sister never liked him,plus she is two years older then him so I thought she would never go for him. Also Ban is Jerrys best friend and Jerry is Joannas ex-fiance, they still like each other and still talk as friends and I dont know why they arent together but thats not what this is about. Joanna told me she would never go for Ben because she knew it would hurt Jerry. But last night I went to the fair with Joanna, Ben, Tephy(who is really good friends with both Ben and Joanna and is Jerrys sister) and her boyfriend Ashton. And Joanna and Ben went off alone A LOT and they were acting wierd around each other and were holding hands which wasnt too wierd because Ben does that all the time with her and Tephy, but it was different this time. I talked to Tephy about it and she thinks something is going on too so I know its not just me. What I need help with is how to talk to Joanna about this bothering me and how I think its wrong. Plz somebody help me. By the Way,I am a 16 year old girl,my sister is 17, and Ben is 15.

if you do, it'd make the conversation with your sister so much easier.
if not, then try telling her that you think it'd be a really uncomfortable situation because the lives of you, ben, her, and jerry are so intertwined, and if anything negative were to happen it would affect everyone.

I realize it may hurt, and I think that you should just tell Joanna how you feel of the situation. For Instance just say hey, can we talk about Ben. Have a dicussion with her so you can help you feel unbothered. If something is going on I guess your sis, and ben like each other (not matter the age), and you will just have to deal with it. Tell her you'd rather know, for then to lie to her, because you'd be more hurt if she was lying then if she told you straight up. [ helping_you's advice column | Ask helping_you A Question ]
