Friends - August 2007

I'm 15, and in the past year my best friend has admitted to me that she is anorexic and bulimic. She is about 5'3-5'4 and used to weigh 110 pounds but dropped to about 82. She showed me her stretch marks. It gets really upsetting because whenever we talk, its always about looks and weight and most of the time when I talk to her I feel as if I'm not good enough because I'm not as skinny as her. There are times when I will purge or cut calories for a few days, but I never totally go through with it because I realize that I don't want to live my life that way.

Her parents know about her problem but they aren't doing anything about it. I don't know why. She tells me how they say she's killing herself by not eating and they take away her cell phone as punishment. Sometimes I tell her that she needs help but she just tells me that she will never forgive me if I tell. What do I do? We used to have so much fun and now we have to obsess over weight. I hate it.

My friend has been in a serious relationship for about 9 months or so. The two of them moved in together 3 months ago, & ever since, they constantly get into fights... her bf will "throw her out" and tell her that he doesn't want to be with her, but then a couple days later, he takes her back.
I keep telling her over and over that she needs to leave him. That a guy like that is not worth her time... but she won't listen.
& every time they get into another fight, she comes to me and tells me how much she loves him and hates him at the same time and I'm just tired of hearing about it! I've told her what I think, yet she doesn't take my advice... I'm sick of her complaining to me about her relationship after I've already tried to help her... she isn't taking any of my advice, so why does she keep coming to me with this problem of hers? what can I do?

A friend of mine for 10 years is in town for 2 weeks. He's leaving on Sat.

We've been trying to hook up for 2 weeks now. He's cancelled on me 4 TIMES now. I only cancelled once b/c I had to take care of a medical issue w/ my daughter.

So anyhow he just left me a vm to cancel again. Should I even bother calling him back?
If I do call him - what should I say b/c I'm pretty ticked atm.

His 'new' excuse is that his grandma decided to come down. I feel slighted.

My best friend and I have gotten older, grown apart, and our friendship is breaking. We have been friends since we were 7. Now I am 13 years old and everything is different between us. I matured quicker than she has. She still likes to play with dolls. She loves to play stupid games still like, pretending to own a perfume shop, playing house, and crap like that. Over the past year or so, I have made a new best friend. The problem is that we all live on the same street. I think my new best friend likes to hang out with her too. I think she likes me better though. But behind the other girl's back she talks about her. And my old bff is on yahoo! answers and she is asking all these questions about her bff is being "replaced". I don't care if she replaces me, but it seems like she uses me when the other girl isn't around. We both like to play with the other girl though. I am afraid about what if the other girl starts liking her better.

Lately I have been aloof since my friends moved away to another region. I hardly ever talk with people lately. I also find my feelings quite suppressed and complicated without anybody to share my thoughts with. Any answer? Thanks.

Someone, who I consided a friend as well as a coworker, went off on me the other day in the office. This person said some pretty hurtful things to me regarding our friendship. It was said in earshot of my employer. I had wanted to leave the office and go talk about it, because what was implied couldn't have been further from the reality of the situation. This person wouldn't listen and refused to sit down and talk with me about it. If left alone - it will probably mean the end of our friendship and continued stress in the workplace. Do I wait until they are ready and hope they will eventually talk? (Communication has never been strong between us) Do I write them a letter to try to clear up the misunderstandings so they can digest it in their time? How would you handle it?

If you could tell them how their voice is so annoying...or their cooking is so horrible.....what would you tell them

Think of someone whom you love / like...and wouldn't want to hurt their feelings...but you wish you could in some way tell them how you really feel about something.

Who would it be and what is it?

Me and my best guy friend(or so I thought) are in this thing for our school that only has a few select students, and we will have to partner up next time we meet and so I asked him to be my partner and he said he didn't know b/c he was probably going to be with some of his other friends...so I told him that he could be with one of his guy friends and I would just make friends with someone else and be partners with them....and then he told me about how he didn't think that the person I had in mind liked me very much....so then I told him that I was already a little upset about what he had already said and that I didn't want him telling me this...so then he started telling me about how he was only stating the truth....basically my question is, how come guys can't comprehend what they're doing to be just a little bit hurtful

hi...i'm a 24 yr old woman. we are three sisters and we grew up in a colorful neighborhood. we had this guy....a yr older to me...he was our childhood friend and went on to become my best friend. 4 yrs ago he confessed that he loved me. i refused because i had never thought of him as a suitor. he did try his best but then i held on to my guns. he's really handsome and rich and a really nice guy but somehow i wasn't ready for it. then he went away to study in another state and i too went away to another state to study. we guys did keep in touch and i tried hard not to change anything in our relationship. yesterday he and my youngest sister (she's 21) announced that they are engaged. i should be happy about it, i know...but i'm shocked....it hit me...i don't know why. i don't love him...i'm sure about it....then why am i not anywhere near elated? i love my sis and always want the best for her....but i feel so queer right now about the whole thing....why??
