writes: Have you ever told your friend a secret like a BIG secret because you THOUGHT you could trust her even if you guys got in a big fight? Well, I told her i found out i had HPV and now she is telling everyone "did you know she had HPV which is genital warts eww" I don't see how she has to go ewwww and tell everyone. I mean I know people wouldn't want it but, it's not as bad as what she is making it seem. How do i deal with all of this? My reputation is just going to get worse from her. Has this ever happened to any of you?

The only way to deal with a bad reputation is to never give anyone any ammunition. Always behave yourself with class, honor, and integrity. Never stoop to your so called friend's level. She should be ignored at all times. Sounds like your reputation was alittle wobbly to begin with so make sure you don't give anybody the wrong ideas about you. Be friendly and relaxed and just show people how much you respect yourself and others will follow suit.

Hi,
Ask her why she has done this when she is supposed to be your friend. I expect she will deny it as she can’t very well admit to it and give you a good reason can she? But you will be able to tell if she is lying. What would be the next thing she might decide to ‘share’ with everyone? You can’t trust someone like this, so she wouldn’t be much of a loss to you if you stopped being friends would she?

Well your friend doesn't sound much like a friend, in fact she sounds like a right bitch. I told one of my 'best friends' a secret once and now the whole school knows! It just shows you can't trust anyone these days. Not that she needs to hear how mean she was, she should know that already, but maybe try telling her that you're unhappy and see if she really is your friend anymore.

I'm sorry that I can't speak from experience, but have you tried talking to her about this? Tell her how you feel. Say it was really hurtful that she could make something like that public when you're suppose to be friends.I'd be interested to hear what her reasons are.
