Dear Dish-It,
I don't know why but I tend to have more fun and/or are closer to my friends that are guys than the ones who are girls. All my friends that are girls think I'm weird for hanging out more with guys than with girls. What should I do? Should I change my personality so I don't lose some of my friends? Help!

Dear questionedlover,
Friends are not always easy to make, so when you do find a genuine friend, you want to hold onto them. If it happens that most of the people you have become close to are boys, then that's just the way things are. "Friends" who are jealous of the other people you hang out with, aren't peeps you want to call your friends, anyway. It's not necessary to change your personality to make your friends feel better about themselves. Instead, maybe you can start inviting some of your girl friends to come chill with you are and your guy friends. Chances are the girls you are friends with are simply mad that you are getting all the attention from the boys, and when you show them that you can all be friends, they'll calm down.

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.
