Allison, My best friend said some shady stuff about my other friend, I confronted her about it and now she’s mad at me. What should I do?

 

Kindly tell your friends to figure out their differences independently of you next time, gossip is something you should not involve yourself in as it causes lots of unnecessary drama. You should not have to solve your friends problems or be dragged into the conflict. Encourage your friends to talk and respectfully discuss the issue, often gossip is incorrect or misleading. However,  if you are already involved then respectfully tell her you were just concerned.

 

What do I do if I'm in a relationship, but I've developed feelings for someone else?

 

It could be responsible to end your current relationship.. Even if you don’t plan on going after this second person, maintaining a mutual respect in a relationship is important. Make sure you are sure about your feelings before you make any solid decisions.  

 

My dog is dying. Should i let my family put him down?

 

I don’t know what is going on with your dog but if he is in pain putting him down is the most humane thing to do. It is always hard to lose a pet but letting him live with pain will not benefit you or your pet in the long run. However you will have a hard time losing your pet and shouldn’t underestimate the impact and animal can have on you. Getting through the process will be hard, try sitting down with your parents and understanding what will happen to your pet. They may be able to clear up any issues you are having with this.


Do I tell my mom i'm failing my classes?

Telling your mom you’re having difficulty in school is a brave choice to make, however she will find out eventually from your report card. If you think you could bump up your grades easily talk to your teacher about your options and take responsibility over your grades. Going to talk to your mom with a paln and personal responsibility will help you and make a difference to her reaction.  Overall being honest with your mum will be best for you both.

 

I have a crush on my friend's ex and I’m not sure what to do? Help me Allison.

Before you go after this guy consider your friends feelings. If your friendship is important to you, risking dating a pal's ex could be harmful. However if you are 100% sure that your friend is over this person bring up your feelings and see how it goes. Respect your friend above all.
