Is it something that someone hurt you and you hurt yourself? if so then she was doing that right thing. But other than that I would ask why she did that and what she was thinking.

dancinqueen08 answered Monday November 29 2004, 4:15 pm: You should confront her and talk to her about it. She needs to understand how important it was for you to trust her and how she has broken that trust. It is possible that she will never regain your trust and your friendship with her will suffer because of it. There isn't really much else to do because once something like that happens it happens. It depends on the people involved on how it will be resolved. [ dancinqueen08's advice column | Ask dancinqueen08 A Question ]

Like maybe a chance that while you were telling her this someone overheard or yall were talking about it on the phone and someone picked up another phone line in her house? {have to make sure, best friends are hard to come by and not so easily replaced} If she is the one that told it, then I would invest my time in finding a new best friend.

zapreth answered Monday November 29 2004, 2:32 pm: Well, you can't take the secret back. Ask her why she did it. People do stupid things. I've done a stupid thing like that a time or two and I'd had NO intention of opening my mouth. I still feel rotten even years later when I knew I had no mean thought, or thought period, in my head when the thing slipped out. Like a great friend of mine always says, "Two people can only keep a secret if one of them is dead." I learned that lesson almost 20 years ago, but you two are still young.
sunshine1030 answered Monday November 29 2004, 12:55 pm: you should talk to your friend. let her know that you really really don't appreciate her telling private secrets about your life to other people, because you trusted her enough in the first place to tell it to her. make sure she understands that what she did really hurt you, and be cautious about what you tell her in the future to make sure she doesn't tell anyone else. everyone tells other people things about other people that they're not supposed to...it's a fact of life. but if they're a really good friend, and if the secret really was private, they should be able to know what is "ok" to tell other people, and what they really should keep to themselves. hope this helped!
