Okay even the person giving advice sometimes needs advice too. So here goes.
One of my good friends, whom I claim as one of my soul sisters, has been losing a lot of friends lately and over really stupid stuff. I'm very protective over my friends, as everyone whom knows me knows and I don't like it when ANYONE treats ANY of MY friends like dirt.
I want to be there for her and listen to her, but also I want to tell these stupidass people off for being so completely immature and ignorant. Sadly, she won't let me! I want to not get involved because she doesn't want me to tell them off, but I'm not sure I can just sit back and watch her being treated like nuts.
What should I do guys? Any advice is welcomed!
Sarah

I think that all you can really do is be there for her and listen like the good friend that you are. I can understand you feeling protective and I have a tendancy to be like that too, but, I've found that it really does nothing but add fuel to the fire. Because that tends to seriosly annoy the jackass that's causing all the trouble and then they start to zero in on you as well, and eventhough you might not care to take the heat, it could possibly make things worse for your friend.
So, yeah, I think listening is the best thing you could do in something like this. In the end, your friend needs to fight her own battles no matter how hard it may be to sit back and watch it happen to her.
Hopefully, this immature person causing all the trouble (or people, sorry) will come to their senses and just stop whatever it is that's going on. I was always told that whenever someone is treating you like crap, ignore it. Tell your friend to try that and see if it works.
Best of luck! I hope this helps!
