Q: Last week my parents told me that we would be moving. I still haven’t told any of my friends because I know they will be mad and upset with me. Plus my dad wants to move us pretty far away. How should I tell my friends without hurting them?

A: Well, there is no way, no matter how you tell them, that they won’t be upset. Maybe try to ease into it. Or just tell them and let them know there is nothing that can be done and that you’ll all stay in contact. Hopefully everything works out for you.

Q: So lately I’ve felt really down, and depressed. I don’t know if I should reach out to my parents or friends because I don’t want to bother them, but it is getting really bad. What do you think I should do?

A: First of all, telling someone that you are unhappy is never a bother. Second of all, yes you should definitely reach out to someone that you trust, such as a parent, friend, or even a counselor here at school. I really hope that you use this advice and get help, and that everything goes well.

Q: Yesterday I found out that my best friend has a boyfriend and that she hasn’t told me about it even though it’s been going on for three weeks. I am really upset because I’ve noticed how distant she was being and asked her several times to tell me why she, and she still wouldn’t. Like I am trying to be happy for her, but I can’t when I know that she was lying to my face for three weeks. Should I still be friends with her, or not?

A: In her defense she isn’t obligated to tell you about that just because you are best friends, somethings take time. Although I am sorry that it took that long, but yes you should still be friends with her. She doesn’t have any reason to be required to tell you everything, and the same is for you. Next time you get some big news that you don’t feel comfortable sharing right away, how would you feel if she got upset because you didn’t tell her immediately? Just think about that.
