Dear Dish-It,
My best friend is real good friends with my crush. I'm always getting into arguments with my crush... and my friend is always telling my crush all my secrets. My crush has a lot of friends and is really popular. He tells everyone about my secrets. I've told my friend time and time again not to tell him, but she won't stop. What should I do?
Really Confused

Dear Really Confused,
You really are confused if you can't figure this one out. Stop telling your best friend your secrets! If you can't get a plug into her mouth, then maybe you should plug your own. But more important than that, I don't think you need this best friend art all. Where I come from, best friends don't tell each other's secrets to the rest of the world. Sure, people make mistakes and can accidentally blurt stuff out without meaning to, but this BFF of yours sounds like she's got no off switch. And as for the crush? No to him too! Why would you even want to date a guy who blabs the most private details of your life to the whole school? If he was a decent guy, he would've told your BFF to shut her trap. Sorry, but you need to raise your expectations when it comes to friends and boyfriends. Neither of them sound very cool, so I suggest you look around and see what other options are starin' ya in the face.

So gotta burnin' question? Need some love directions? Thinkin' about stuff like teen suicide, depression, sex, low self-esteem, boyfriends, girlfriends, losing old friends, bullying or peer pressure, but are too scared to ask your parents? Don't be scared to Dish-It. Just remember, if you hang out in chat with other Kidzworld members who know you by your nick, you might wanna use a secret nick when you write in. That way, no one will ever know it's you. Remember though, Dish-It gets tons of letters a day, so she can't answer 'em all. But keep checkin' the column cuz chances are, she'll be answering something very similar to your question soon. Thanks! Got some words of wisdom you wanna share? We'll dish them up too.
