Dear News Team,
I have a “friend” who has been saying mean things behind my back, and I don’t know what to do. Should I tell them how I feel? Please help news team, because I have no idea what to do.

Dear Bullied,
Keep in mind, your friend might be going through some tough times, and while it is your job to stand up for yourself, it’s also your job to be there for her/ him. Have you tried talking to your friend? That’s always a good idea, even though it’s scary. The important thing is, don’t give up. You don’t have to spend all of your time with this friend. Just because you are close doesn’t mean you have to be joined at the hip. Don’t talk to others in this group of friends about the problem, they will probably choose sides and make things worse. Try to work things out. Stay strong friend, and remember, we are always here for you.
Sincerely,
— The Wise Owl
