Question
hi, im sorry i dont know who else to talk to.. ive been having so much
problems with my friends latetly. im in grade 10, i have made many mistakes
before and i know that but my friends dont seem to care or understand. my
so called bestfriend has been saying so much bad stuff about me latelty and i
have been ignoring it cause i cant handle the drama and since were best
friends were friends with all the same friends so then i will end up with no
friends.  and the thing is everyone is on her side.
andd this girl heard me talking about my best friend not in a bad way but she
misunderstood what i said and told her and now she doesnt want anything to
do with me.. and she doesnt want to be friends anymore. :( and shes turning
everyone against me and i feel like no one is on my side and everything is
falling apart and i really dont know what to do. its really tough. all i need is
some advice i know theres nothing you can do but i just needed to talk to
someone. thankyou :)


Answer
Hi Rachel.

The best thing for you to do is move on, and find new friends. Real friends don't do that to their friends, so it'll be better to ignore them. They sound like the type of people who just LOVE starting drama for no particular reason.

Find some new friends, join a club or something.
Go up and talk to people, and STAY out of that silly little drama thing. They're not your friends if they do that. Real friends look up to eachother, and support eachother, and never talk crap about one another behind their backs.

Hope this helped :)
