Dear Dr. M and Molly,
I got mad at my friend because she was talking about me behind my back. Now, she is trying to be my friend, but she still talks about me. What should I do?

Dear Liliana,
If this girl is a nice person and you like her, you should definitely try to become friends with her again. But before you agree to do so, you should let her know that you heard that she was talking about you behind your back. Tell her that before you become friends again you need to trust her. Make sure you make it clear that you're not going to tolerate her talking behind your back and that you don't need a friend who is going to do something like that. If she promises not to do it anymore, you can probably be friends with her again, but just watch what you say and make sure you don't tell her anything important. |
