Question Posted Wednesday September 19 2007, 9:43 pm
so i'm not really sure if my best friend Shelby is telling me the truth. last week, she got an eye infection or something and she said it really hurt so she needed to go to the doctors 2 days later. well when shelby came back from the doctors she told me that she was going blind from a viral infection. so i was freaking out and crying and stuff because i felt so bad for my bff and kept thinking "why is this happening to her? she's only 17." but like, i started doubting her story because she can be overdramatic at times and has told me little lies before, and i'm kinda wondering if she's telling the truth. i mean, she's still in school, she's still playing soccer, she can obviously read/write, she's only been to the doctors once and he only gave her eyedrops, and she's not freaking out half as much as i am. i even asked my dad about it and he was like "if she was going blind she'd be seeing a bunch of specialists and stuff" so i'm wondering if she's telling the truth. wouldn't a girl who was going blind be at the hospital or a specialist if there was even a risk of that? plus, pinkeye is going around my school right now. of course i have to give her the benefit of the doubt b/c she's my bff, why would she lie to me? but i don't know. so yeah, does anyone else think her story is kinda fake sounding?... should i be worried about my best friend's health or do you think she's lying?

Why don't you try talking to her parents you could say something to them like "ohh (her name) told me what she's going thru with her partially blindness in one eye and I just wanted to say I'm truly sorry and I'm always here for her if she ever needs a friend" if she's lying (I don't know her parents or her ) but I don't think they'd lie to cover up her silly made up story if she's lying but if she isn't then they'd probably say something like "ohh that is verry sweet of you we are so glad our daughter has such a sweet and caring friend bla bla bla" lol but yea I'd try it or atleast try tlkn to her about it [ SoxGh3to's advice column | Ask SoxGh3to A Question ]
