DEAR CAROL: A Walk On The Wild Side?


I have some goody-goody friends who are really nice, but we don’t have anything in common. I’ve changed since middle school, and they stayed the same. I have to watch my mouth around them and can't act crazy because they're so sane. I have more fun with my new wilder friends, but I want to stay on good terms with the old friends. The two groups don’t get along at all.

Dear Changed,

All your friends do not have to like each other, and you don’t have to choose between them. I’ll bet you’d regret dumping the old crowd. You (and they) will keep changing, and you might find yourselves close again someday—so don’t cut ties. Is the new group distracting you from a straighter course? Think about this, and give yourself permission to enjoy the best of everybody in your orbit.
