My guy friend was just diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. I don’t know how to act around him because he has changed so much. He is very weird and alone now. When I text him, he doesn't answer. I’m worried. Is he OK?

 

Bill: Since fitting in is such a big part of being a teen, having a disease can be really tough. It’s great that you’re trying to stay connected. Maybe he’s worried that he might not be accepted, so he’s bringing the rejection on himself. Just treat him the way you always have, and ask your friends to do the same.
 
Dave: Your friend’s life has been turned upside down. While acknowledging the changes and giving him support are helpful, being consistent and just being his friend will go a long way in helping him out. When he wants to be alone, give him that space—but let him know you’re there for him if he needs you.

My brother was originally misdiagnosed with Crohn's, but he actually had Colitis. It can be tough sometimes, but just hang in there and support him! It may be difficult for him, especially if he has to go on a special diet like my brother did. If he's anything like my brother, though, he won't like too many personal questions. Make sure to support him, though, because he's probably having a really hard time transitioning!

ok so today one of my best friends told this guy who i liked when i specifically told her not to the morning before. and of course the guy she told is friends with my crush and now he know i like him. what do i do now? i have almost all of my classes with these two guys so it will be very awkward tomorrow btw. Thanks!




Hey girl, play it as if everything's OK and then see how things pan out. There's no guarantee this guy will tell your crush so try not to assume the worst (and sometimes that little push and spreading of the news can take this sitch from one of inaction to one of action and maybe you ending up as his girlfriend).

i have Ulcerative Colitis, which is basically the same thing, just only in your large intestine, not other places. it can be embarrassing at times and can depress you. if a friend of yours has an IBD or IBS (Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, don't ask unless they're open to telling you. they'll get even more upset. i had a more serious case than most, one that hospitalized me for months and gave me other problems. i ended up getting my large intestine taken out and given an ileostomy. just be supportive of your friend and know that they may be upset every once in a while. it's hard to ajudst to, trust me.
