I have met this new friend. My bestfriend doesn't like her. I like her. The new friend is mean to my bestfriend but not to me. I want to be friends with both of them. What should i do?
TheTeenGirl answered Wednesday February 16 2005, 2:14 am: Do you know why they aren't getting along? You need to find that out. When you tell me that the new friend is being rude to the best friend, it makes me think shes the problem, and you have to learn to control your friends behavior towards your other friends. Obviously someone isn't being nice on purpose. The only way you can put a stop to this is to find out what is it that makes them dislike each other.

(well, that is what i would do) Then you could be friends with both of them, niether of them can decide who your friends should be! [ CoUnTrYgUrL77's advice column | Ask CoUnTrYgUrL77 A Question ]

Hope I helped!

1- talk to each of your friends separatley try to find out why they dont like each other, and if they something good about each other then tell the other friend..
2- talk to them together, make sure they dont try and start something,but you really need to figure out why they dont like eachother and then try to solve that problem [ bcuzigothigh55's advice column | Ask bcuzigothigh55 A Question ]
Karen answered Tuesday February 15 2005, 9:08 pm: You need to talk to both of your friends and find out why they dislike each other. Once you find that out, try to fix it or let them work out their problems. You could also tell both of them that you don't want to hang out with two people who hate each other. Start spending time with one of them at a time and gradually start making plans with them as a group. You need to tell them straight that you want them to stop hating each other. Hope I helped :)

danceonme answered Tuesday February 15 2005, 9:03 pm: Tell your best friend that you do want to spend quality time with her, and do that, but also spend time with your new friend. Try not to mix the two as often as possible since neither of them will like that.
Tell them both individually that you value their friendships and want to hang out without having someone else there too, and do that. You don't need to hang out with both of them at once, and it'd probably be better if you didnt, so try to avoid that. [ danceonme's advice column | Ask danceonme A Question ]
