Big Bestfriend trouble!?

Please help.

okay here's the story...

I have 2 bestfriends right now, Leslie and Faith. but before i knew them i had another bestfriend which was Jackie.

Jackie was the WORST bestfriend you could EVER know. She took advantage of me, and she would slap me and tell me i look ugly, and would encorage me to cuss...horrible right? yeah. so i told her i really didnt want to be friends anymore! and that was that. We havent spoken since.

but now...Faith is hanging out with Jackie! and Leslie and me hate Jackie because we know shes a terrible person, and we thought Faith knew that! but apparently she doesn't! WHAT DO I DO!

Everyday me and Faith fight because shes hanging out with Jackie! even when i ask her to hang out first! its so rude! but Faith gets mad at me when i get mad that shes hanging out with my ex-bestfriend! I personally dont think thats right! But i really dont want to loose Faith to horrible Jackie... ): Faith thinks Jackies changed but i know she hasnt. what do i do?

i need BIG advice! i need help. pleaseeee?

    That's a tough situation, I've been through something similar and it is no fun at all. At first, try talking to Jackie, to see if she's changed; maybe Faith is right. If Jackie is still the same and treats you badly, what I suggest is that you talk to Faith calmly and let her know that she cannot keep hanging with Jackie if she wants to continue being your friend. This ultimatum will make her decide between Jackie and You. Let's hope she chooses you but if not, she is not a very good friend either. Stick with Leslie and don't be afraid to make new friends!

    the worst thing you can do is nag her to come back

    I'm sure she already knows what Jackie has done, and with her hanging out with Jackie is her choice.

    Faith may soon find out herself how bad Jackie is when Jackie does the same thing to her as she did you you.

    Let her know (one final time) that you are worried about her getting hurt by Jackie and leave it at that. Let Faith make the decision. She may come back to your circle of friends. But until then just be supportive and wait and see.

    Focus on the friend (s) you have now. Things should come around.

    Ok jackie Sounds like she sucks and if faith thinks she's changed it maybe true but from your personal experience I wouldn't believe it. I would still be Friends with faith but when she decided that she wanted to hang wit jackie and you tell you cant do it. Tell her that you can't get over the past at this moment and for now you will not be hanging out with her and jackie. Tell that you still like her very much you just can't do te whole jackie thing. GOOD LUCK! really i mean it

    This isn't really a big problem dear . I used to have a problem like that before . So be alone with Faith one day and tell her the whole story about Jackie and you . then tell her that Jackie didn't change and tell faith you don't want Jackie to take advantage of her and if she still goes .. let her go . and maybe let Leslie talk with her about Jackie alone . or go talk to Jackie.. maybe talk to a parent or adult . they can always help you out :]

    good luck :]

    Hi Salt & Pepper,

    Im no relationship specialist, but i think you should leave Faith to figure out for herself that Jackie is a bad person. If your right and jackie hasn't changed it wont be long til Faith comes back to you an apologises for being wrong. I know it may be hard but just let Faith figure it out for herself. If you have to beg her to hang with you she's probaly not going to be a good friend anyways, so just let her hang out with jackie.

    Hope that helps

    Cheers

    If i was in your situation I would let Faith do what she wants. If she wants to hang out with Jackie, let her. If Jackie is really a bad friend , Faith will learn it soon and forget about her, Faith need to just learn this for herself but remember stand by her.

    faith should be respecting you and your descision to get rid of jackie and she should be sticking by your side

    id let it ride for a while and see what happens

    maybe jackie would have changed and she may approach you asking to be friends again ?

    on the other hand if you keep fighting with faith about jackie

    then she may walk away from you , and you losing your best friend to your ex best friend is a horrible thought.

    you could approach jackie yourself and try and sort things out.

    but it sounds like faith is about to choose one person over the other, sorry to say but it sounds like it could be jackie. so wreel her back in ! remind her or how jackie used to be, but just be pleasent to jackie and maybe she will change

    don't be friends with Faith or Jackie because, soon Faith will be like Jackie and then you just have problems. Ive been in this situation its not a fun one haha, its just better not to be friends with either one but if you want to be friends with Faith still then you need to talk with her and just tell her how you feel. Its not right that she is ditching you guys for Jackie.

    good luck!

    just let faith know how you feel and tell her all the horrible things that she did to you and if she doesn't want to listen then you might just have to move on faith will have to found out for herself how jackie really is...sometimes you have to let people make their own mistakes

  • Apparently you just lost Faith as a best friend. Im sorry to say it but thats what it sounds like. At least you have Leslie. Just try not to get caught up in the drama.
