my best friend max told me a huge secret about himself a long time ago and i swore not to tell anyone. i messed up big time by telling steven because steven has a big mouth sometimes. a few days ago i was talking to max and i told him that i really dont like steven because hes annoying me a lot. then max told steven that i think hes "gross". he was just kidding of course but what if steven gets mad and decides to tell max the secret i told him a long time ago as like payback or something. that would guarantee max hating me forever. what do i do? help!!

Genrawks2 answered Friday July 6 2007, 9:51 pm: Well, start off by apologizing. Max isn't going to automatically gunna forgive you and act like you were again, but you did slip the BIG secret you weren't supposed to tell anyone. So you can't expect anything more for a while. But tell him you understand if he doesn't wanna chill/talk for awhile, but that you are sincerily sorry and it was a HUGE mistake. As for Steven, I wouldn't talk to his ass for awhile either, but if he's known to have a 'big mouth' you should've known better as well.
Just apologize, tell the truth, and wait some time for everything to cool off. I'm sure he'll forgive you soon, everyone makes mistakes =)

But you should have thought about the consequenses before you told Steven. Best friends don't tell other people a huge secret. Sorry, and good luck. Hope everything works out well.
EDIT!:
You could talk to Steven about it, make sure he doesn't tell him about it. But if you think at all that Steven might even be considering telling Max, then just tell Max the truth. Do whatever you feel is right. [ clouded_bluee's advice column | Ask clouded_bluee A Question ]

Everyone messes up, tell him that you understand if he ignores you for a while, but if hes really you friend than he shouldn't hate you and stop talk to him forever. I'll say it was wrong of you to tell steven, i mean at least tell someone who isnt a big mouth. But everyone does it, well I do. Sometimes you just cant help your self and sometimes you dont realize you even told. Just remember that max is supposed to be your friend, so just apologize, explain and you should be fine. If he doesn't talk to you for a while, give him some time, then start talking to him again and he'll get past it. Ask me, if you have any more questions. :) [ OhMyPEACHYKEEN's advice column | Ask OhMyPEACHYKEEN A Question ]
