i have a problem
you see, i have this one friend who told me a secret. this was not a bad thing, but they didn't want me to tell. it slipped by accident to a REALLY CLOSE FRIEND...who's never told anything and i trust. i made them swear never to tell. my friend who told me the secret found out that i told this person, and is extremely mad at me. i sound like a bad person but im not. what do i do? i feel really bad
well, assuming that friend A is mad at you, you could tell her that you completely trust friend B. if it wasnt a bad secret, then time will fix everything. guilt does play a part in this. sit both of them down, and let them know how you feel. explain to friend A that you didnt mean to tell friend B but that you trust friend B completley. ask friend B not to tell anyone and let her know that you are trusting her not to. let friend a know that you are sorry. thats all you can do right now. time will mend the trust between you and friend a. i know that sounds typical, but its true.
i hope everything works out for you.
best of luck.

(im assuming all of these people are girls but excuse me if im wrong)
I think the only thing you can do is keep apologizing, or what i would do is tell her a minor secret that i had and make it sound like it was a huge deal to me. She might tell, but if it's minor it won't matter. Tell her you messed up and it won't happen again. Just give it time and let the situation cool off for a little bit.
