Dear Dish-It,
I am a hypocrite. Let's just say this - I got invited to "Annas's" party. I went and I had a good time. But the thing is, with "Anna", I always talk bad about "Faye". And this time, I talked bad about "Anna" with "Faye". I feel really bad, but I am still friends with both of them! What should I do to stop being a hypocrite? I really do not try to be mean!
Love ya lots.

Dear * secret luvr *,
So far you've been lucky that no one has spilled the beans about your back-stabbing. But, rest assured that if you keep up the trash talking, you won't just lose one of your friends, you'll lose both. No one likes a gossip, especially when you don't seem to have a reason for it. Both of these girls are apparently your friends, so if you value their friendship at all, you will zip those loose lips of yours. There's really just one very simple way of not being a hypocrite, and that's to just stop being one. Talking about your friends behind their back is not a disease that you can get medication for - you just have to have the willpower to be a better person.
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 the 'rents? 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.
