I'm in high school and my group or friends are really close to each other. So, when one person tells another about something, they run off and tell someone else and then it finally gets around to our whole "group." It always happens, with everything and everyone. And of course whoever told the first person gets upset because they did not want their "secret" or whatever to get out to everyone else.
We go through these arguments about once a week, no joke. We're all guys and girls between the ages of 16-18. We can't just stop telling each other stuff, that doesn't work. EVERYONE has a big mouth.

You guys are acting like a clique in middle or high school. You think that you can trust one person, but of course, that person will ALWAYS tell someone else they trust.
If you don't want the whole group to know something, then you may as well keep it to yourself. Thats all that I can really say about it.
Nallie answered Monday March 13 2006, 7:33 pm: Sounds like everyone should just take it for granted that if they tell one person they are really telling everyone. So perhaps they should learn to keep things to themselves.
It's nice though to have a confidant--or at least one person you can trust. If someone tells something in confidence it should stay with that person or trust will be broken. Maybe you could be that person that everyone trusts to tell their most protected secrets to. [ Nallie's advice column | Ask Nallie A Question ]
