So I was telling my mom how one of my neighbors who is a boy about 15 has no friends cause all he does is follow his 16 year old sister around 24/7 and this morning my mom got a call from the boy's mom saying that my brother said that I said he has no friends and that he is really sad and hurt and how he is planning to confront me and ask if i said it but I mean if someone said that about me I could care less because its their opinion and I have plenty of friends.So now i dont know what to say when he comes over cause I dont want to further hurt his feelings.So if you could give me something to say that would be great.

honestly, u r getting worried about something that isn't even a big deal. u should be responsible for what u said and tell the truth. y are u tripping anyways? it's not like when he confronts u he's gonna beat u up. don't worry about it if u have friends, u don't need him. i think u should apologize for talking behind his back though. be the bigger man. (or woman)
Good Luck!!!!

My opinion is... your brother needs to learn how to keep what's said in the house... in the house. He's the jerk... soooo make him look dumb. Me and my siblings are close and there is no way in hell if I said something about a neighbor, friend, etc they would go back and tell. And the mother is stupid for calling your mother cuz his feelings were hurt. My advise, tell the boy... yeah I said I don't think you have any friends cuz i see you hanging around your sister all the time, if you want to be my friend we can be friends, but honestly I see no reason to apologize, cuz I said it in the privacy of my own home to my family and my brother had no right to tell you that. So if you are looking for an apology, go ask my brother for one for being such a **** starter... the end.

You start by apologizing to him for running you mouth about him and his business. Tell him that you have a serious problem with minding other peoples business however since this come back on you, you’ve learned your lesson when it comes to talking about others. Then tell him that you’re just kidding, you’re really not sorry because if someone talked about you, you think you wouldn’t care because you’ve got a ton of friends that are talking about you behind your back and you just don’t know it. Then tell him that he’s a better person than you’ll ever be and from this point on whenever he hears that you’ve been talking about you, don’t pay it any mind because you have no life and the only thing you've got going for you is putting down others.

Wow, things can sure get twisted 3rd hand...
1st off - I'd get your mom to let your brother know that what is said in your home stays there. He had no right to repeat your conversation with your mother to the neighbor.. He's the cruel one.
2nd - I think perhaps the neighbor's mom should get a grip, it's not like you are all 5 yrs old, her baby boy can handle his own issues when they are as trivial as this.
I'd tell your neighbor it was not your business to speak about his social life and you are sorry.
Oh, and, in my experience, a 15 year old boy will only follow his 16 year old sister about when he has a huge crush on one of her friends ;-) BUT I would keep that to yourself !!!!

I know that you have a different prospective about people talking about you and everything but people are different. What I would do if I were you is apologize(sincerely) and ask him if he wants to be your friend because it's obvious that he doesn't have anyone else to hang out with. That's probably why he's always trailing his sister 24/7. It'll make him feel better and (maybe) you too. And IF you want him to be your friend and then IF he is your friend you would probably have to find him another friend ASAP because you will get annoyed and then want to do something mean to him. I hope this helped a little bit. GOOD LUCK!!

Did you say it because you were being mean and hateful? Or did you say it out of concern?
You know, some brothers and sisters are close, they are best of friends, not only can she be his sister, but his best friend also...and they may share their friends, it not unusual.
I think the best thing you can do is stand up and be a mature young woman about this situation, when he comes over to confront you, allow him that....you did hurt his feelings. Apologize to him, and tell him you were wrong.
But I say this, with thinking in mind that once he chewed my *** out, I'd then chew my brother out for running his mouth too. You know, sometimes people don't have to tell everything they know, especially to the ones that it was said about. You are HIS sister, and HE should have kept his mouth shut too....
Its all part of growing up, we learn that if we can't say something to someones face, then its best not said behind their backs...everything has a way of working its way back around, and its usually made out to be much worse than it was actually implied to start out.

I'm still waiting for the important part! Tell him you have lots of friends and you could care less what he thinks of you. Or better yet mind your own business from now on.

you can say, that it was not exactly what you said. You can say that you were ''wondering if he had any friends because he is always with his sister'',
In any case what is the big deal that his mother had to call. Why did your brother go and open his big mouth. Deny it and make your brother make ammends.

Probably shouldn't say things that you will regret later.
If someone doesn't have many friends, do you really think it helps that people like you point them out??
I would just tell the kid that you are a Snot, and you are sorry.
Or just say you didn't do it. Either way you look like a jerk, and you need to suck it up.

Apologise and learntry to learn a lesson from the experience.
Talk to your brother and let him know that conversations that you have with your mother are not for him to broadcast.
Talk to your mother and ask her to punish your brother for repeating your personal conversations outside the house.
