Question Posted Saturday September 1 2007, 1:51 pm
There are these two girls who used to be my best friends. Last year, they talked about me, made up stuff, blamed everything on me, & all of these other things so that they could get out of everything that they did & said about one of our other friends. They did that three times; I gave them three chances. Each time, they would apologize & say it wouldn`t happen again, but it kept happening. So, I just gradually stopped hanging out with them, but I was thinking the other day. When I was with them...I`ve never had that much fun with any of my other friends in my life. Plus, they would stand up for me if someone said something mean to one of us. No matter how much I cried cause of them, I also laughed just as much. I don`t know what to do. Should I just keep doing what I`m doing & staying away from them? Or should I give them another chance?

If I were you, i'd give them ONE LAST CHANCE. and if that last chance goes wrong, then don't even bother to hang out with them because even if you had lots of fun with them, you also got hurt many times. If you hang out with them and keep letting them do these mean things to you, they'll think it's ok and just keep doing them. You can find friends that are even better than them. You just have to be YOURSELF and not be a fake. If you are a fake, people will be attracted to your phony act and then when you are yourself, they will think you're a weirdo because they thought your act was really you, when it's not. and then it just gets ugly from there. So be yourself and people will like you for who you are. Even if you don't find any true friends really quickly, you still have your family to look up to and talk with.
