Advice No.11

Have you ever had a problem where you feel so stressed over you want to explode? Have you ever had a problem where you felt like you have no one to turn to? Sometimes people need help for big problems or even little problems that seem like nothing. For problems like that, people need advice. For the past couple of weeks ive had some problems that i need a little help with, you see, my best friend and another friend havent exactly been acting that great together. it seems as if all they do is either fight or just annoy eachother till one of them cant handle it anymore. Its been pretty hectic because im stuck right in between them. Ive already told one of them to cut it out and stop annoying the other person till they crack, and they did for about a week. Then they went right back to doing it.

Thats what i need help with. I dont know how to tell my friend he really needs to stop bugging my other friend. I want him to get the message that he needs to stop, but i dont want to hurt his feelings. I also need to find a way to tell my best friend that maybe she needs to handle it a little better rather than freaking out everytime she gets annoyed. I really need advice asap before they end up having a huge fight and arent friends any more, which would be a terrible thing for all of us.

Being stuck in the middle is THE WORST!! Everyone seems to come to you in their hard times and, well, you probably don't want to hear it after so many times! What you need to do is tell them to stop. Each of them in person. If they really listen to you they will forgive and forget. To get them to listen, talk to them about how it is bugging YOU that they are fighting. Or say things like "you used to be such good friends!" Trust me, you may not know it but a truthful, heartfelt talk can really change their perspective on it! Another way that you can do it is the classic "come over to my house" bribe. Ask both of them to come over to your house but don't tell them that the other one is coming. They will be under pressure to be nice to each other in your presence. Try it! You don't know what will happen until you try!
