Losing trust in a good friendship sucks, it really does, and you're feeling like you can never trust her again for whatever she did, right?

Well think of it this way. Everyone deserves a second chance. Now, you don't have to tell her whom you secretly like, or which girl in your math class you think is ugly, just be a friend. A normal friend.

Slowly, the friendship will gain back the inertia it once had, and you'll be able to grow to trust her again.

Remember, grudges are not healthy. If you "Forget her and not trust her" ever again, you'll always be thinking in the back of your mind, "I wonder how -insert name here- is doing?" And you'll see her at school or what not and think about her. The easiest thing you can do is forgive her. It's better that way.

You're never going to feel any better until you begin to heal for what she did. But let her know she has boundries. Tell her that you'll be her friend, but the trust you and her once shared is deminished and she is going to have to win it back.

Hope I helped,
Megan.
