Caught in the Middle {I Know this is long but it's worth it)
Question Posted Sunday June 5 2005, 1:44 pm
Ok, this is how it is. Have 2 bestfriends at school; we have been friends 4ever. Anyway one of my friends {Lets call her Karla}found out that my other bf {Lets call her Tisha} was talking about her behind her back. It's very hard 4 me because everytime I talk to 1 of them the other 1 asks if she said anything about her. It's driving me nuts! I don't know if I can take it anymore. Anyway I've been friends with "Karla" longer than I have "Tisha". I've known "Karla" 4 about 8 years, and I've been friends with "Tisha" 4 about 2 years. I'm so confused and I cannot deal with it any longer. Anyway school is almost out, so maybe everything will get solved. {We only have 4 days left} But I really need help! Since there's only 4 days left I've been thinking of not talking 2 any of them? What should I do?

Explain to them that just because those two are in a fight, doesn't mean you have to take sides. Tell them that you are going to continue to hang out with both of them, and if they can't work things out, it will be difficult, but that's between them two, not you.

lilaquidas18 answered Sunday June 5 2005, 2:04 pm: Well what I would do is to tell both of them that you are friends with both of them and that you are not going to get in between it and you are not going to be the little messanger.Or you can get them together and maybe they can talk things out and become friends. But just tell them that your not going to be getting into it and you are not going to be the messenger.Hope I helped.. Rate me. [ lilaquidas18's advice column | Ask lilaquidas18 A Question ]
Shortie8959 answered Sunday June 5 2005, 2:03 pm: That's a really tough situation, but you just need to tell them both (separately) how it's making you feel. Tell them that you feel like you're caught in the middle and that it's really frustrating to see them both fighting. If they're really your friends, then they will stop putting you in the middle and spare your feelings. But don't stop talking to them, because they'll just get mad at you, and then you won't have any best friends. And if you know what they are fighting about, maybe you can try and help them to solve it. Good luck! Hope I helped! ♥ Erin [ Shortie8959's advice column | Ask Shortie8959 A Question ]
