Triss in Magnolia, Arkansas "Why is she 'dissing' me?"

Dear Brie,
  My friends, Kira and Drew, and I have been friends for over three years. All of a sudden, Kira and Drew have been going hours out of town to "eat dinner" and "just shop". They take Kira's baby to the Zoo, and park, and never call me or anything.
 When Kira needs a babysitter, she calls me, "Triss, wanna come hang?" So I go, and I end up staying over to help with a baby... cleaning, cooking, helping battle him. Worst thing is, it's always about Laker (baby).
 Drew and I were like sisters, so tight-- we told each other everything, but now, she doesn't know me. When nobody else is around, then Drew and Kira are all, "Hey, Triss!" and hugging me! I stay at Kira's house as much as I do at mine-- and Drew stays over even more. Kira's parents treat me like I'm their daughter, but I can't bare Kira anymore.
 PLEASE HELP.

Dear Triss,
  Man, I'm so sorry. I'd just pull away, find other friends. Kira is not your friend! And, if Drew is acting like this, she's afraid she'll be on the outs, too, if she doesn't go with what Kira says. Pray. Pray. Pray.

Pictures say a thousand words! (Georgia in Kentucky)

Question: Brie!!! I am just so upset! I was adopted. Last week, I found my long-lost brother. I was out shopping with him and I held his hand breifly. My boyfriend doesn't know about Leo. My arch-enemy, Claire, snapped the pic of us holding hands and sent it to Wes with a long story, a lie! He is mad that I cheated and I'm caught between family and the guy who so called loves me! Help.
                                                                       ---Georgia in west Kentucky!
Answer: Woww! I have never heard of anything like that, Georgia. But, it seems as if Claire is jealous of ya'll.
 STEP ONE: Write a long long letter explaining it and ask him to call you. Let him meet Leo.
STEP TWO: Tell your parents. Friends, etc etc what happened with Claire and Wes.
 STEP 3-INFINTY: Pray.
 Hope I helped,
Brie!

MY IDEAS...for our youth... (Jodie in Ohio)

Question: Brie, my Youth pastor, James, is picking out our songs to sing/puppet/sign. I have a few I love, but he will never listen to my suggestions. We're having a youth board meeting to go over this month's activites next week. How can I show the group my ideas?
                                                                                     --Jodie, Winslow, Ohio
 Answer: Jodie, I have went through the same thing! When the youth night comes around, get up to say a word or two. Present your ideas, and then ask the group... "Do you second that we try this{ese}?" by raise of hands. Or, a quicker way would be go to your church pastor and tell him your problem.
 Jodie, I sure hope you can get it resolved!
