The Secret's Out!

 

Check these out, too...

  • Help! I made out with my bestie's crush
  • 10 things a best friend should never, ever do
  • I called my bud's school "skanky" and now she's fuming
  • My guy mocked my bestie...and now she won't talk to me
  • 3 times it's OK to tell your bestie's secret
The sec you found out your folks were splitting, you called your BFF. You needed to talk, and you trusted her not to blab. But she did. Now, everybody in homeroom is giving you the sympathy stare. Ugh.

The Full 411
If a friend leaks a biggie, don’t assume she unzipped her lip on purpose. Maybe your prob was weighing so heavily on her mind that it just popped out of her mouth. Call for a convo, and get the scoop. If she wasn’t gossiping and didn’t mean to give up your secret, yes, she owes you an apology. But forgive her.

Position the Intuition
Your girl doesn’t seem all that bummed about telling the world your biz? Beware if she shrugs it off with a “so what?” attitude: What your bud is really telling you is, “What’s sacred to you isn’t sacred to me.” If you get the feeling she really isn’t all that sorry for spilling, you might need to take a closer look at the friendship.

Follow Through
Your BFF is on the level if she wants to help you do damage control. She ought to be willing to make an effort to stop the secret from spinning even further out of control. For example, your girl might offer to talk to every girl who knows your deal, one by one, and ask them not to dish on it anymore.

Trust Much?
Even after the shebang is set straight, you may have jitters about full-on trusting your BFF with top-secret info. That’s totally understandable, so just share itty-bitty no-biggie secrets with her for now. A true BFF will put herself on lip-slip red alert and will earn back your trust by protecting your privacy. You’ll know when you’re ready again to trust her with the whoppers.

Clear the Chaos
If either of you accidentally gives out any inside dirt ever again, for any reason, pinkie-swear that you’ll own up right away and stomp out any fires as a team. It’ll show that you have each other’s best interests at heart and that your friendship rules. And that’s no secret!

My best guy friend is gay and me, him, and my friend hannah had a sleepover last night and a bunch of people think its wierd and make fun of him for being gay. I hate it and stick up for him all the time but i HATE it when people make fun of gay people. what should I do?




Just keep standing up for him! As long as he has youll on his side things will be fine. People arnt always the most accepting but time will make things better. Good luck! xoxo kerra

MOD,
my friend and i have very different personalities. our other friend usually keeps us together, but we have hurt each other so much i dont think we can be good friends anymore. i really need some advice.




hey! Sometimes different friends need some time apart to cool off. Why don't you try spending some time away from her and then see how things go after that?

I dont mind at all if you ask multiple questions, and i wont judge you by the questions you ask! I ask plenty of "dumb" questions too, and i totally get what you are going through! I will also get back to you ASAP- I get one GL more than 2 times a day (Woo-Hoo for fast and accurate answers!)

MOD,
I have been asking and asking my parents for a new cell phone because mine isn't working so well anymore and they keep forgetting to check up on it. I know they're really busy sometimes, but it's been 2 months now since I first asked them. And my charger has stopped working so now I can't use my phone anymore. I haven't told them yet because it just happened last night. The first day of high school is tomorrow and I really really don't want to go without a phone. How should I ask them AGAIN for a new phone??

 

 

Try this: "hey, so you know how my phone wasn't working so well a few weeks ago? Well, now it's not working at all!  I really don't feel comfortable going to a new school tomorrow if something happens and I can't call you." I'm sure they'll be happy to help you out if you give them a little nudge!

MOD,
For the last two days my profile has not been visible because it's being moderated. What does it mean when I am being moderated for this long? Why am I being moderated? How long does it take to be moderated? Please answer, I am very confused!
Sincerly, Sarah/skf97

 

Modding or moderating just means that we have to approve the comments on your page before they can become public (just to make sure that they are appropriate!). It can take anywhere from a few minutes to a day or so depending on how many comments are posted on the whole site that day. We work as quickly as we can to get to everyone's comments!

nose. its really red, and it makes the rest of my nose red too (idk why). how can i make it not red by tomorrow??




Hey girl, I'd try using a bit of concealer or foundation in the morning so it'll blend in with the rest of your skin tone.

Ok I just wanted to tell you what a great job you guys are doing on this site. It makes girls feel comfortable to ask things that they would be embarrassed to ask their parents or their doctors. We also know that everything you tell us is the truth. I really appreciate this site. Keep up the good work!

 

Thanks, girl!

I accidentally blabbed something once.
my friends mother died and I was really upset about it so one of my other friends asked me what was wrong then I accidentally blabbed. I realized what I said right after. It caused a little drama but my friend apologized because I didn't mean to blab, like I didn't tell everyone on purpose.

Almost all of my friends are so untrustworthy...... but you just need to tell them to cut it out. (my bff has adhd so I have to be really careful with what I tell her because she forgets that it's not supposed to get out & blabs it to everyone as a joke.)
