it really sucks because two of my best friends are totally against eachother. the worst part is that my friend gina had this problem with jake and now they dont talk. they talk about eachother behind their backs though. so gina is just fed up with jake and is trying to get other people to hate him. also jake has done some other stupid things and a lot of people are against him. but jake is my best friend too, and i really like him, as more than a friend. he doesnt know that but like he flirts with me all the time. he said not to worry about it because everyone is being stupid. but gina, britany, and kat dont really get why im still friends with jake. brittany and kat are annoyed with me because they think i only hang with him cuz i like him. but thats not even true and i feel like im jakes only real friend. i explained to gina the whole situation and i think she can understand me a little better. what can i do about this i dont like having to be mean to people but im in such a tough situation. thanx

No one can control what you think or do. This is no exception. If anything, you are being the better person by being nice to Jake since everyone "hates" him right now. Tell your friends "I don't have to hate someone just because you do. Being friends with whoever I want is my prerogative and your immaturity isn't going to change that." The big word will most likely confuse them and they shouldn't bother you for being friends with Jake. I hope everything works out! [ sugarplum07's advice column | Ask sugarplum07 A Question ]
christina answered Saturday April 28 2007, 9:34 pm: Explain to your friends that you're going to be friends with whoever you want whether they like it or not. Be friends with Jake, but be friends with Kat, Brittany, and Gina too. If they can't accept the fact that you're gonna be friends with Jake too, then they're not really your friends & you need to cut them short & stop hanging out with them. Nobody tells you who to like or who to hang out with but yourself. [ christina's advice column | Ask christina A Question ]
runawayxlove answered Saturday April 28 2007, 9:30 pm: hey, well you shouldnt have to be mean to anyone unless your having personal problems with them between just you and them. hang out with them all seperately or just whoever gets along. they need to learn that there your friend, but there not going to like everyone that your friends with.
