Hi.
Well, my friends have all fallen out and I'm finding it really difficult to not take sides. Friend A said something nasty about friend B and friend C took friend B's side. This means that A is mad at C because she didn't take her side.
However, the nasty thing that A said was, in my opinion justified...
No-one is A's friend and I try and stick up for her because I don't think it's fair that B and C just slag her off behind her back all the time, but that makes them hate me. I want to take A's side even more when they do that. Plus friend B is SO annoying and is always doing weird stuff like humping us (seriously...everyone thinks we're lesbians or something) and messing up our hair and all this crap. So I should take friend A's side, right? Wrong. Friend A has said some really mean stuff over the years, none directed at me but I can't deny that it makes me wonder what she's thinking about ME. All their arguing is driving me crazy and I have to do something, and I don't want to take sides but it feels like I'm being forced to - B and C are horrible to me every time I talk to A. What can I do?

katkrazy answered Friday March 25 2005, 1:19 pm: wow ive been here alot, but anyway, you should take friend A's side. she'll really be happy that someone is on here side. now she probably feels terrible cause her two x-friends are ganging up on her. the odds r better, u & A vs. B & C, rather than A vs. B & C. lots of luck!!!!!

If you still want to remain nuetral and keep your insanity intact, then you need to let <b>both</b> sides know that you <b>will not</b> choose sides, and that they shouldn't try to persuade you to do so either. Let <b>both</b> of them know that it makes you uncomfortable when they talk about the other to you because you still remain friends with both and if they could just keep their negative comments to themselves. If friend A has said mean stuff <b>over a period of years</b>, then maybe you should take a look at friend's A character. There are ways to say things, even if they are truthful but can be hurtful, with tact. If they still insist that you choose sides, maybe you should opt on expanding your social circle until this thing dies down. I have seen this oh so many times: You, being friend D, has decided to choose a side. Eventually, both sides decide to become friends again, and you will end up being disliked by the one whose side you did not choose. [ Miss_Lily's advice column | Ask Miss_Lily A Question ]

SakuraSong answered Friday March 25 2005, 11:58 am: If they keep on forcing you about these stuff, and forcing you to take sides, then don't take the crap from them, and yell about their bull-headiness. I agree with you, it's really annoying when problems about these arises. Tell them the HARD,BLUNT TRUTH! if they don't listen to you (especially A, if she started this then you have to tell her) then screw them. It's not your problem, YOU shouldn't worry about it.
