I need help?

Question

OK, long story but...
So one of my friends is really into becoming popular and stuff. I do a lot of stuff with her, but lately she's been forming her own little posse with some other girls and getting into trouble and saying things behind ppl's backs. She still acts all nicey to me, but I can tell it's fake. (I'll call her friend A) Recently, A got a boyfriend. I was rly happy for her at first, but then she starts advertising it everywhere, saying how she made-out with him and she doesn't want to talk to anyone unless it's about her bf. She's been acting rly mean 2 one of my other friends too. Anyway, another RLY good friend of mine (friend B) is also good friends with A, and she just A is "just acting a tiny bit crazy". Well, today, I heard A saying something rly mean about one of my friends. When she waled away, B asked me "What's wrong?" and said "She needs to stop acting like a dyke." Well for some reason, B thought I was calling HER a dyke, and got super pissed at me.
tbc...

I called her and told B I wasn't mad at her and didn't call her a dyke, but she just wouldn't listen to me for some reason. She insisted A never did anything wrong and I was getting out of hand, and I should never had called her a dyke. Then she hung up on me. I'm super upset - I love B to death, and even A I guess, but I rly don't want to lose B as a friend. I have to see both of them a basketball practice tomorrow and i have no idea what to say to them without upsetting them. Help me please!!

I kno this is in the wrong category...

Answer 1

I don't understand your use of the word "dyke" in this situation. I know that people use the words "gay" and "dyke" for everything but I think that you should have used a different word instead, even b**ch seems more acceptable. I think friend B misunderstood you the same way I did and I think you need to explain to her what you meant. If you are so close to friend B, tell her what's troubling you. Next time you are having troubles like this, you should explain them to your best friends and not to strangers (like me) who don't know you and whose opinions should not matter.
