Two-Faced Friend?

Dear Ali,

I spent the night at my friend’s house and we swapped secrets. I’ve kept my lips zipped, but she hasn’t! I confronted her and said she should stop, and now she’s ticked at me. Afterwards, I found her laughing and talking about me with some girl she doesn’t even like! And it’s not like this is the first time, either. Should I dump her in the “old friends” bin?

I think you’ve already solved this problem! If this were the only time your friend had shared something you’d told her in private, it would only be fair to give her another chance. But since she’s spilled your secrets before and doesn’t seem to care that it upsets you, she’s not acting like a true friend. It’s time to move on. There are girls out there who are trustworthy friends, so go find them!
