group of friends.


Question Posted Saturday April 17 2010, 11:45 am

so im in a group of friends, i guess u could say we're kinda popular, but its my first year at this school and im good friends with all these people. little did i know, that last year none of them had problems with each other, and now every person in our little group of friends has a problem with another one in the group. its really bad, and hard to avoid, but somehow i manage. im close friends with a girl, lets call her "S", and im also friends with 2 other girls, lets call them "B" and "C". S liked C and B before, and now she doesnt. C told me that S was acting two-faced and that C didnt do anything, and she doesnt know why S is acting like this. I told C stuff that i probably shouldnt have told her. Like S didnt like her or B and that she only likes me, the lacrosse team(that S and I are both on) and another girl, she doesnt really matter. But, S facbooked chatted me this morning, flipping out and bitching at me that i told C everything. B messaged S and told her that she didnt like her and that she wishes she heard it from S instead of me. S is really pissed at me, and now i think she hates me, and she wanted me to fix everything that happened. i don't know how and if i do try and fix it, i dont want to loose S as a friend, or C and B, because i like them, and we've had our issues, but we're good friends now, and i dont want us to not like each other. i know i should fix what i did, i just dont know how, if anyone can help me, id really appreciate it, and how should i go with this whole situation, i dont know what to make of it, if anyone could help me with that too, awesome.

sorry its long.

I am just going to be completely honest with you. I read your question until the, "let's call my friends A, B, and C" part. That really complicates questions a lot, and I just couldn't keep up with it so I stopped reading.

From what I can tell, you are friends with a large group of girls who have gotten into a petty argument. You somehow managed to put your self right in the middle of it and now everyone is mad at you. Is that close?

If it is, here is my advice:

Talk to each one of your friends one on one, face to face. Apologize for anything you may have done to hurt one of them, and then let each of them know you have no intentions of getting in the middle of this problem. Let each of them know you value your friendships too much to let this argument tear you away from any of them.

One thing you HAVE to learn if you want to survive in high school drama free is to just shut up. When they are bad mouthing each other, just igonore them and try to change the subject. If one of them asks if the other has been talking about them behind their backs, simply reply with, "I am staying out of it. If you respect me as a friend you won't put me in the middle of it." Once again, just change the subject.

Good luck. :)
