Martha Do something for someone else "What should you do about disagreements between friends?" Stay out of it. Being in the middle between two feuding people is a no win situation at best. If you give either friend advice, you'll end up being the bad guy. If you take sides, they both may turn on you. If I were in your situation, I would get them together, look them straight in the face and tell them, "I like you both and I want to continue being a friend.

I'm going to stay completely out of this disagreement between you. I'm not going to discuss it with either of you, and I would really appreciate it if you woudn't bring it up in my presence again." Stick with exactly what you told them. In case they don't believe you on the first telling, you may have to repeat it once more. After that, if either tries to talk with you about the other, say nothing and walk away. That should reinforce that you really mean you will not be involved in any way.

If you can't be at peace with these two after a reasonable time, you may have to conclude that they enjoy their misery, and you may need to find more peacable friends. "I have a boyfriend, and it seems like we never talk to each other. He has had a lot of girlfriends, but someone told me he has gone with me the longest. It seems like he talks to his ex-girlfriends more than he does to me. When we're alone, he pays more attention to me.

What should I do?" I sounds to me like he really wants to be everybody's boyfriend all the time. Whoever he's with at the moment is who he focuses his attentions on You may be wanting more of his attention than he's willing to give. You need to make a decision. Are you happier calling him your boyfriend, even though he appears to be everyone's boyfriend, or would you be happier admitting that he's just a friend? I can think of one other posibility. Unless you've talked with him about it, he may not realize how his spending so much time with other girls makes you feel.

If you have told him and he still acts the same, you can Little of Pinola, Mrs. Maude Little of Garland, TX. Arrington Services for Mr. Henry Gustavius Arrington, 74, of East Pine Seminary, were held Sunday, January 7, 1990 at 3:30 p.m., from John Funeral Home Chapel with Rev. Tim Turnham and Rev.

Getting to know a variety of boys and girls has many advnatages. Although you may be disappointed about this relationship, it may open up some opportunities for some exciting new friendships in the future.

"I have a problem with being by myself all the time. I feel lonely and not wanted by any of my friends. I'm getting in a big hole of depression. How can I find a way out. I really need some help?" Being depressed seems a lot like being in a deep hole.

Like a hole, it makes things seem dark and good possibilities are hard to see. If you're severely depressed more than a day or two at a time; if your sleeping and eating patterns have changed a lot; if you're spending a lot of time feling that there's no hope, please talk it over with your parents or someone you trust. You may need a medical check-up. Sometimes when your body chemistry gets out of balance, you may feel depressed. Your doctor can recommend ways to help.

When you're feeling just a little down and left out, make yourself do something active like walking or jogging, you'll be surprised how much better you feel. Another thing that can help you feel better is to do something nice for someone else. Invite someone who seems to need a friend to go to the mall or to a movie. If you know someone who's having trouble in a class that you do well in, volunteer to study with them for the next test. Reaching out to someone else helps take the focus away from you and your problems.
