One of your close friends is talking badly about another member of your friend group.
What is the best choice?
A - join in the conversation and describe the problems I have with that same friend
B - stick up for the friend “I think__ is pretty cool” and I don’t think we should talk badly about one another
C- change the subject. Let’s talk about llamas instead llamas are much more fun to talk about than drama
D - text the friend to let him or her know what was said
B & C: You should either stick up for your friend or change the subject completely. Standing up for someone does not mean you have to be angry at the friend for talking about that person. You simply say something kind about the other friend request your friend avoids talking about other friends while you’re around because you don’t want to be involved, you also have the option to walk away and leave what was said inside your head.
