Sometimes, even the best friends have fights. They disagree with each other and begin to argue. Sometimes, they even stop talking to each other for a long time.

What can we do for them? Find another good friend who knows both of them very well and ask him or her to do something for them. Here are some useful ways：

☆Tell your feelings clearly but don’t criticize(批评) either of them. Begin with “I feel…instead of” You always…

My problem:

I have two best friends but they dislike each other (彼此). Every time I want to hang out with both of them, they never want to and get angry with me. When I hang out with one but not the other, the other one will get jealous. I want all of us to be good friends, but I don’t know what to do. Somebody help!

Desi, 11, Illinois

Advice:

First you need to ask both of them why they don’t like each other. You should do something to make them like each other again. You can invite both of them to your house at the same time, without telling them that the other one will be there, too. Leave them alone (单独地) for about 30 minutes. See if they can talk to each other. Hope this helps!
