I am part of a friendship group of 5, we are still close, but a while ago we started having some problems.

we always had a laugh and became friends near the beginning of year eight i spose… but miriam and jess have been “best friends” for a long, long, long time. they would always seem like the closest most loyal friends EVER, but when i got to know them closely, there seemed to be something under the surface. it was at this time when we met gracey… gracey and miriam became closer and closer until they were practically best friends. they shared a few private jokes, which is always a bit annoying within a group of friends, but i wasn’t fussed. i started to doubt our friendships when jess messaged me on msn saying that she was hurt that miriam wasn’t speaking to her as much as she used to and hated the private jokes shared between gracey and miriam. i felt very sorry for her and spoke to miriam explaining how it could be upsetting for jess and asking her to be understanding. she soon told me that jess was in fact just being paranoid… and that really jess had been ruining miriams life by doing everything that she did after she did it, sometimes getting better at it than miriam was. it wasnt just a childish thing, it seemed very upsetting… and i chose not to take a side. these girls were my best frieds, right? i loved tham to bits, right? it continued on the same for a bit. i soon found out that jess had been saying some seriously nasty things about me. i realised that in fact noone in our friendship group really does like her… i love miriam to bits… best friend. i just dont know what to do to make my friends love eachother again, i dont want to lose my friendships, and i dont want to hate someone who im supposed to love. what should i do??? is it worth trying to fix things with jess? she really is looking like a nasty piece of work at the moment… help!

There are too many of you. Eventually you’ll split off into subgroups - that’s just how it goes sometimes. There’s no stopping it - 5 is too many for all of you to have a meaningful connection.

If someone is treating you badly, or you find yourself treating someone badly, either find out WHY and try to make amends if its worth it or end the friendship. It doesn’t matter what it USED to be like. This is what it is now.
