I have these two friends that always fight and I usually get put in the middle of it. What do I tell them? And what should I do when they start fighting?

Don't get involved. If that don't work.....make new friends

You should talk with your friend about the situation...if you aren't doing anything to provoke the situation then you shouldn't worry but I would definitely encourage you to talk with your friend.

Ask your friends why they always side against you.

maybe you should tell them that you refuse to choose as they are both your friends and you value both of them and both friendships. If they are truly your friends they will see the position they have put you in and understand your decision. There is nothing worse is there than being stuck in the middle of a silly situation between people you care about. Friendships, good and lasting ones, are something to cherish, built on mutual love respect and trust for each other. If you can get them to see that I'm sure you will be able to work things out.Good luck sweetie

Definitely not a true friend. \n\nBut. You both have a lot going on right now. I think you two should just have some fun 'girls night' or something and forget about these boys.\n\nStick with your friends, it's silly when girls fight over boys.

This used to happen to me all the time when i was younger.  I used to call myself the messanger because i would feel obligated to run around playing he said she said.  Dont allow it to happen.  Just tell them that its not your place to be stuck in the middle and it makes you feel very uncomfortable when it comes to choosing one or the other because its not fair and if they make you feel that way or push you to choose the "best friend" of the two then they really arent freinds and are not taking your feelings into concideration.  Just tell them its none of your business, its not your fight and you would rather keep to yourself.  you dont have to pick either or, hang with one friend one day and the other the next.  if one starts talking bad about the other let them know straight up that you dont want to get caught up in the situation and whatever they say about the other isnt going to make you like the other any less.  if the refuse to stop just leave!\n\nabout the boy part, guys do not fight over silly things like i had it first or i saw him first.  Guys are cool and actually listen to what you have to say, especially if its about friends or what you like or want to do when you get older.  guys think girls are interesting and thats the cool part about it because even if you feel a little awkward at first they always have a way to make you feel like its  ok its only natural to conect with people of the opposite sex even when a relationship isnt involved.

it doesnt matter who started or who ended it...you two were fighting that's the main point...talk to him...that's the only way to be friends again...if you don't want to be friends with him...ignore him...if you still want to be friends...again...talk to him...it doesn't hurt to talk and speak yoiu feelings...

I think your doing the right thing and you should explain to her that you are just friends and if she continues you'll have to separate yourself from, unless you want your girl to beat your friend's ass.

Physical violence does not equal friendship in my book.  This friend isn't a friend, but a bully.  You have another friend. Go hang out with her.  Obviously you know that what your supposed friend is doing is wrong because you are writing about it here.  Stand up for yourself against this girl: tell her to leave you alone, tell her to stop hitting you - and mean it! Tell an adult who can help you with this situation.  Friends don't hit/kick/bite/slap/spit or commit other forms of violence against friends.

im having problems like that except vise-versa (srry can't spell 2day). take it from me, its not all that ez, it mite take them a wile 2 forgive u, but if they're true friends, they will come to their senses and realize that you appreciate both of them the same (unless you don't, and if you don't i can't help you there).

well...that's what is happening to me and my friend\ni think that when people fight they get a closer friendship... so i  think that fighting is just normal in friendships!!\n\ni hope that made sense to you!!

No one ever wins a fight....  Someone just loses less than someone else.  Avoid it if you can.

Ideally, i would stay away from them......cease being a friend to my "bestfriend" and try to forget that "asshole bf" I will run away and go to a place where i can cry hard without people thinking i'm going insane, where i can reflect on how beautiful life is and shouldn't be wasted on unworthy people and when I gain back my composure that's the time that i will come back in the picture...this time braver, stronger, smarter and prettier. But what i'm talking about is what's ideal, right?  I might do otherwise especially if i caught them in the act! i might slap both of them and raise hell........declare world war 3 perhaps hahahah

This sounds like something that'll pass. Sometimes what you need to do is just not react to eiher of them. not pass their notes, nothing. Just let them fight and sooner or later it'll pass. Also getting them in the same place where there's a lot of fun being had also works, because when they;re having fun they're interacting without thinking about it so they don;t theink about the fight they're in.

Right in the middle of an "argument" jump in & point out to both of them that they fight & argue constantly. Point out the fact that it is very childish & how tired you are of it. Whatever the underlying problem is between them should/will surface....once that surfaces, it can be resolved & harmony restored.

just let them two solve their problem than getting between the two of them. you'll be experiencing a lot of trouble if you would do that. maybe you could approach them if you were asked to do so.

Go to each of them telling them that their friendship means alot to you and it would help if they worked things out...on your behalf. if you feel like they would never patch up then make it clear that you do not want to choose between them and they shud atleast be civil towards eachotherin your presense. Talk to them,wenever u meet them, you shouldnt have any reason to stop talking to them,after all you arent responsible for their fall out? also, act normal,like nothing happened and joke around them during classes, you cant all be in the same classes so it'll help if you talk to them one on one. If all else fails,You'll have to divide your time between them or else find new friends. You cud be the glue to get them back togather,You never know with time,they realize that the tiff between the two wasnt that big after all and they might patch up due to u. Hope you feel better.
