How do you support a friend who you don't agree w/?
I'm a 14 yr old girl, and I need your advice, please. My BFF has asked me to be w/ her while she flushes her pics of her ex whom she recently got dumped by down the toilet. I think it's really sad that she's not keeping the pics, b/c this is the guy she lost her virginity to, I not sure that how she's choosing to get rid of them will even work, and I'm not sure that she's ready to do this yet any ways. She seems really deadset on doing it, though. Should I tell her what I think, or just stand by and support her as she does it even though I disagree with it? Also, like what's proper "etiquette" for a "ceremony" like this? I've never been asked to do something like this before.

I think it would be a good idea to let her get rid of the pictures. Different people have different ways of letting go, and this is just a way for your friend to deal with the hurt. This is a time when your friend needs your support, so stand by her. I actually did something similar to this when my long term boyfriend and I broke up. I'd suggest something other than flushing them though, that might clog the toilet. There isn't really a proper etiquette for the disposal of pictures, but burning the pictures would be a better idea.
