>>>What do you do when you hear bad things being said about your friends?<<<?

I don't tell my friends if I have ever heard anything bad about them being said, because there's no point to it and it will end in 2 ways. My friends would either go up, confront them and have a fight with them or they would get really upset and cry :( I don't see the point of telling someone what bad things people have said, because they are just going to end up hurt and it's not a nice feeling, however sometimes my friends do ask me and I will tell them the truth. If it's someone I know and they are dissing my friend I will tell them to shut up and leave them alone

BQ: I would want to know what people were saying about me, even if it hurt, because I would want to know what they think, but if sometimes people are jealous and say rude things, because they are envious. If they call me a ***** for instant, then I would confront them and ask them what their problem is. I hate it when people talk about others behind their back! -.- if you have a problem with someone, just go to their face and tell them. Whenever people talk about me behind their back, I always tell them, you're brave enough to chat crap about me when I am not there, so tell it to my face. Cowards!

I do 1 and 3 depending on which friend it was, who was saying it, and what they were saying. I love my friends, cross them, cross me, simple as that.

BQ: I'd confront them by asking them if they were talking about me. I wouldn't fight or argue unless I had to. And yeah I would want to know if terrible things were being said about me. I don't want to act nice to a person who doesn't have the decency to say it to my face at least.

I do 1 and 3. They have the right to know but I don't wanna start an argument.

BQ: I stay quiet but I get mad. I want to know and I want to know if like my boyfriend was cheating and my friends knew they should tell me. Last year that didn't happen. Wasn't to happy about that haha.

It depends on what it is. If it's a stupid comment like "Oh, ____ is so annoying" or "_____ is fat", I just ignore it. But if it's something that could be damaging to his/her reputation if it spread around, I tell them.

BQ: Again, it depends on what is being said. I could care less if they're judging me based on my appearance or what they *think* I'm like.

I'd want to know, simply because I'm an extremely curious person. :P

I stand up for my friends all the time just say no "X" isn't fat and stop calling her that. I will tell my friends later about it.

I am bullied all the time. When they see or hear something i don't they just say let's go and tell me about it.

DON'T KEEP QUIET. A friend should stand up for you!

i stand up for my friend. the other day this guy was making fun of my friend and was making racist comments. i confronted him on it and he hasn't insulted my friend anymore:)

I will be like "EXCUSE ME?!" Then I give them a dirty look and walk away.. lol
