I asked her if it was true and she said yes.Now i'm unsure of how to be around her, as she keeps everything from me now!I have to ask her lots of times for her to admit something! And like the other day i descovered she smoked, too.I'm a bit confused about what to do! Any suggestions would be amazing help, thank you.

Girls are funny. I think the best thing to do if have a sleepover or something, with just her, and do some fun stuff together, facials, makeovers, manicures etc. It would also be good idea to just ask her if anything is up, and why she isnt telling you much anymore. Good luck babe :) xx

you didnt say how long you had been friends for. it will probably be this boyfriend or maybe shes been hanging around with a different group of friends and she probably feels shes grown apart from you. its really hard when this happens. it can really hurt. she may come back when she and this boy finish but dont just sit and wait. try to make new friends. pals grow apart all the time but theres lots of new friends to be made. i realise this probably isnt what you want to hear. i hope everything goes alright for you. love kahlan

Everyone has a different level of privacy. Some people feel comfortable sharing their innermost secrets and others keep them hidden away even from their best friends. But it does seem unusual that she is hiding things like that, as they are not shameful secrets, and part of a friendship is sharing things and having chats. Try asking her straight out why she doesn't tell you things. I find the best way is being direct usually. Ask her if there's a reason she hides things. Hope it works out for you

Unfortunately I have been in the same boat as my best friend once got pregnant and never told me that she had or the fact that she had an abortion.We spent months not talking to each other and gradually I missed her, so we began talking to each other again. Now things are back to how they were before and now she tells me absolutely everything!My advice would be to back off and leave your friend alone for a bit, try not to ring or text her and you will be surprised how quickly she will be calling you to tell you all the things that are happening in her life.Hope this helps and good luck.
