Is she a true friend?


Question Posted Thursday August 2 2007, 6:52 pm

Long story short: One of my friends from grade school live with me and I really hate it. I had no choice in letting her move in, this was all done by my mother and sister. And don't get me wrong, I understand the fact that she doesn't exactly have the best home life, but she takes advantage of our family, our money, everything. Her name is Katie.

I have this best friend Samantha who knows that Katie is doing this to our family. Samantha was there for me a lot, I could cry it out and tell her how much Katie annoyed me and she understood.

But now it's different. Katie and Samantha have been hanging out and now Samantha feels bad for her . So now when I need to talk, I can't because the last time I did she was mad at told everyone that I'm mean to Katie!

So last night Samantha was talking bad on Katie and I was surprised. But I didn't say anything except nod my head and was totally confused.

then today she called my phone, asked for Katie, and invited HER to hang out. I'm really upset because she was just saying horrible things about her last night and now she wants to act like her friend?

So my question is:

1. Is Samantha a true friend? (be honest please)
2. Am I overreacting?

i would say that she isn't being a true friend. i would say a true freind is someone you can count on and someone that always tells the truth. i would feel so hurt if my friend turned there back on me and that is not what friends do..hopefully this helps and good luck to you on which ever side you chose.

I definitely do not think that you are over reacting over this situation. I don't think that Samantha is a true friend. Why dont you tell your mom how you feel? Even though she probably will say that there is nothing that you can do but let her in your house because she doesn't have a really good family, at least your mom knows how you feel. You should also tell Samantha how you feel and tell her that It's her house Katie is living in and if you call her to hang out, take notice that she's around too. Last of all, the most important, tell Katie how you feel, and tell her that she's always welcome in your house, but not to take advantage of everything. You never know, things might work out perfectly.
[hope everything works out well]

1. It sounds like she can be but she is struggling. You should tell her im worried becuase me and you are falling apart and i really want to be friends but it sounds like you cant decide who you feel bad for who you hate and who your friends with and being 2 faced isnt a good thing!

2. No becuase its important to YOU!
