Help!! My friends have gone NUTS!

They're being strange....

We'll call her 'Rachel' because I like that name.

First, she became friends with my BESTEST friend (who we shall call, 'Chloe'), who then changed a lot to fit Rachel... i.e becoming kind of 'emo' as some people would say (I don't believe in stereotypes).
However, before Rachel had been friends with Chloe, there was another girl she was friends with. (Calling her Gandi) Gandi was disowned. Gandi doesn't like being disowned. Gandi became really good friends with someone I call Madza-moo. Which was fine.


Madza Moo's other friend Bridgitte felt left out when Gandi made friends with her, and Madza-moo managed to make things worse by asking her best friend Kimbo, if she'd go on holiday with her, after Madza-moo had said she wasn't going to ask Brigitte or Kimbo. What made it worse, Kimbo was going to be the only person who would be with Brigitte for her birthday. Now, Madza-moo and Brigitte have fallen out; neither of them will talk to the other, and neither want to be friends anymore.

Back to Rachel; she now has had a fall out with Gandi! And why? She is going out with someone who me, and my friends, are convinced is a pedo, as we have never met him. Except for on the Internet, And that's not meeting, is it?

We have a point!

This person claims to be named, 'Darryn'. He has put a picture of 'himself' onto this website (an ART website). And we have done quizzes on Bebo and the like, that have that picture as one of the outcomes. This 'Darryn' is not someone we know. We keep telling Rachel it's not wise to date online, but she gets seriously angry at us when we mention that he may be a pedo. Yet before they were 'going out', Rachel used to say he was a pedo.

This is only half my problems.... I don't know what to do!! The stress really gets to me, and I never say anything. Everone comes to me with their problems, because they assume I have none; but they are wrong, because I share all of their problems.

AAAAAAAAAAA please help!!

 

The other stuff between friends and all, that's kind of a mess that is common with teenagers and I guess I'd just say to you that you should be friends with who you can and ride out that storm. There isn't too much anyone can do about what they are doing. I usually avoided these sorts of things and tried to be anyone's friend who wanted to be and ignored others. It's too much a hassle otherwise.

As for the girl who has the interest to some guy online who is using a fake picture and such.. I guess you can't really convince her so the best thing to do is watch out for her. Try to stay up to date on things with their 'relationship' and if she ever wants to meet the guy, see if someone trusting will go along with her so she's never by herself. Also, tell her that whether she believes he's real or not, to -never- give him her address and not to give him pics of herself.. especially compromising pics. Just on the off chance you are right, which it seems you likely are, she should try to be a little smart. Also tell her no phone number. If she won't be smart, you be smart for her and keep an eye on what she's doing, even if you have to be amiable with her even as you want to strangle her for being an idiot right now. That's the best I can say and if it seems to be going stupid, you may have to just tell her parents you are worried about her. She may hate you for a while, but in the end, if she's not going to play this smart, someone has to and I would do it because I'd rather have someone alive to hate me in this instance, than someone dead or really burned in other ways because I didn't. I wish you luck and hope it doesn't have to go that far.

 

Awww..... Poor you...... Anyway, with ur friends - to put it in a nice way - THEY'RE MAD!!!!!! So I can't answer that bit but with 'Rachel', I can help.
1) She might be going through a stage where she'll fancy this guy but she'll come off soon.
2) If u can, see what he puts down.

Thats all I've got. And with ur stress, take up something to releave it or talk to someone. That always helps 4 me.
