ADVICE | FRIENDS | DEAR CAROL FRIENDS

Awkward around bisexual friend


I have a close friend I’ve known for almost six years, and we are in eighth grade. She just told me she’s bisexual. She asked me if I’m OK with that. I don’t want to hurt her feelings and still want to be her friend, but it’s been awkward. I want to tell her how I feel.

Dear Friend is Bi,
 
So tell her. You could say, “Of course, I still respect and care about you, but I am confused, how did you realize you were bi?” She might reply, “it’s personal,” but she could welcome the chance to talk. In this millennium, kids are barraged by images of sexuality. Many teens announce they are bi (attracted to girls and guys) before they’ve kissed anybody at all. Perhaps girls shouldn’t rush to declare sexual learnings when sex is still such a long way off. Nonetheless, since your friend put herself out there, why not share your questions with her in a sensitive and non-judgmental way?

i have a group of friends that i see alot and we've all known each other since we were one. one of my friends in that group is adopted and ever since she found that out her life has been going downhill. it started with the weight gaining ad it was coming on fast. recently she sat in my bed and the side split open! then she started dying her hair. Now, it's cut short adn dyed black, but she is changing it to a mohawk with a perm dispite her hairdresser telling her if she dyes her hair again, it will break off when she brushes it. Mood swings are never ending with her too, but one day there were scrapes all over her arms and I saw her piercing her nails into her skin. Her story was that she fell off of a slide. my friend read her diary mistaking it for her essay she wanted her to proof reaad adn in her diary she talked about how she was lesbian. she is always REALLY close to us adn on her facebook interests its "piercings adn tatoos" and "dying my hair" i'm just really worried for her

hello, how is your evening? anywho, okay here's this sitch. my best friend.well, lets just say she isnt the prettiest person. she isnt fit and she is black (people at our school can be racist >.>) so that lowers her self esteem. she doesnt get much attention from guys or any girls (like in a girly way you know?). but me on the other hand. im NOT trying to sound conceited or anything i swear but, people give me more attention than her,girls and guys. so basically she is jealous of me. again, im not trying to sound conceited i really just dont know what to do when she gets jealous. she gets sad/mad and pretends everything is fine. plus, i have a boyfriend and she claims that she hated him even before we were together. my mom and i both decided she is just jealous that i have a bf. i need your help. idunno what to do. i always remind her how beautiful she is and pretty etc. but i guess its her weight that is bringing her down. any tips? thank you so much!







Hey chickadee! I'm sure this is really tough for you. And, you sound like a great friend! Maybe, you can try doing some fun, athletic activities, to help your friend get in shape? Rather than directing it at her, you could mention how you want to start a new fitness routine for summer, and ask if she'll join you, to help motivate you and make it more fun Smile

MOD MOD MOD please help. I have these two best friends and for the first two years of middle school we got along so well. This year everything has changed. They both have spent a lot of time together and don't invite me to things they do. Then they talk about how fun it was later. They also both have bfs who cause tons of drama; I just feel left out and want to cry. What should i do? This isn't the first time I've felt this way. Thanks!!

I talked to my outside of school counslor about how I might come out to my friend(the woman who I like to dance with). And I realized that I'm afraid, confused,loving towards her, and angry with her too. I find that there is a wall between us that I had not seen there before. I'm a lesbian but she is for gay rights but against gay marriage. I wish to confront her but how? My counslor said that she thinks that I should just be myself and if I do hear my friend say something offensive,I can kindly call her out on it. By saying something like,"Hey, you are a church going Christian, where is your tolerance?" or "Be careful as to what you say,you know not as to whom you might offend." I wish to be closer to her as a friend but don't know how to confront her. HELP!!




Hey girl, I think that's a really touchy thing. I think should your friend say something insulting to you, you can lightly bring up that those words hurt, but I don't think that's something you need to rub in her face. Just be you. Remember, she likes you for that person and your sexuality doesn't change who that person is.
