someone told me they heard my two friends, lucy and jill, saying really mean stuff about me. they didn't tell me exactly what but said they'd tell me more later because they had to go. i just think this kind of drama is so annoying, and i hate dealing with it. i know everyone talks behind other's backs, but my friend says it was meaner than just the usual stuff. i'm so over it, and this really annoys me. i'm not jumping to conclusions, because i know my friend could be wrong, but she has no reason to lie to me. what should i do?

Good luck sweetie and I hope this helps;; xx [ crissyx3's advice column | Ask crissyx3 A Question ]

However, it is not always a good idea to just let them keep talking behind your back. It might just be my perspective, but from my experiences i strongly believe in viocing your opinions and standing up for what you believe in. Try talking to those who you heard were saying things behind your back...tell them that you don't like it and that if they have a problem they shold tell you to your face so that the issue can be dealt with in a mature way, rather than just being rumoured between people.
