A female United Kingdom age 22-25, anonymous writes:

I am really confused and not sure what to do. In my friendship group at school, there is 7 of us.

Two of my friends are obsessed with these celebrtites. Anyway, it is obvious my other friends are getting angry with them constantly talking about it, and whenever my two friends mention them, the others roll there eyes, and get frustrated.

I however don't, and I don't know how to react. I don't mind them talking about it, and whenever I FaceTime they tell me about them.

My friends that get annoyed, I have known them since I was younger, and I don't want to loose them as friends, or make them mad, but the others are also my really good friends, and I am torn.

When those two arn't around, my friends tell me not to ask them about it, or get involved, but I don't want to be rude.

I have even emailed the celebrity's asking if they'll say hi to them over Twitter or something, however I wouldn't tell my other friends that, as I know they'd just get mad. Please help, I really don't know what to do...

Midnight Shadow agony auntYouWish is right. These friends are infatuated with this persona(s) that they see in the media and it's totally normal, but I can understands your other friends being tired of hearing about them because they are just celebrities that your friends have crushes on.

Just stay out of the frustration and the obsession. You can be friends with all of them without commenting on anything related to the celebrities your friends are obsessing about.

YouWish agony auntYou're actually doing the right thing by staying out of it. You can be neutral and not lose any of them, especially if the whole celebrity thing is just silly to you. Don't worry about emailing the celebrity or anything, though that's nice of you to do. Just let your friends have their crushes, and time will get it all out of their systems before you know it, and all 7 of you can laugh about it the next year (or month) when that celeb is no longer the in-celeb.

I'm curious now - who is the celebrity??
