My friends talk badly about my boyfriend

Hi. I am 16 years old and I've been dating my boyfriend Andrew for almost 8 months now. My best friend Danielle has a boyfriend of 9 months, so our lives are pretty in sync right now. My other friends have never been in love like me and danielle are, so they dont understand. My other 5 close friends hate my boyfriend and always talk bad about him, and say hes stupid and stuff, and I always say "shut up" , b/c it makes me mad and hurts my feelings, so now they are doing it behind my back. The other day at school before I got there, my 5 friends and danielle were sitting at a table and they started talking about andrew, saying they "hate him" and all this stuff. (They just "figured" danielle felt the same)Well my friend danielle said " I dont hate him" and they are like you dont?" and shes like "no." Then they said " well you yelled at him that one time" and danielle said " well yes b/c he was being mean to kim, but I dont hate him, hes not always mean" - they were just like "whatever" and kept gossiping. Then They called me a hypocrite b/c I "talk about danielles boyfriend all the time." I was shocked when danielle told me this..Well danielle told me right afterward, but I cant confront them b/c I dont want them to know it was danielle or they wont talk about me in front of her anymore.... but im so mad at them, I cant just act like nothing happened... everytime im around them I feel weird, b/c I know they talked behind my back....but they act normal...so I bet theyve done it before. Why cant they just be happy for me?? Danielle is. My real friend. What should I do? Andrew has never had a problem with them, and they even put exlax in his drink before as a "joke" (that almost caused us to break up) Now every morning I hang out with danielle and her boyfriend until andrew gets here, but they will catch on soon. Why are they being like this? After danielle told me I cried on andrews shoulder. AT SCHOOL.... I've never cried in public before, I was so embarassed. but it hurt me that much. I was really upset, and he told me "well, baby, you dont have nice friends." Im like "well I thought I did." I can understand if they are jealous of my time with him, b/c thats how I felt about danielle at first, but I understand now. I hang out with them a lot too, though. so much that andrew thinks I care about them more... They think he is so mean, b/c when he does sonething mean, I vent to them about it... but I cant tell them all the sweet things he does, b/c they say "eww..." or "gross" ... which really pisses me off.....they only know 1/2 of the stories. I guess I wont tell them anything anymore. What do I do??? Any advice would be really appreciated.

the girls are all about the gossip and the will say anything that is going around, if they talk badly about andrew than maybe there not really your friends. my advice to you is make new friends and move on with your life

WELL MAYBE YOUR FRIENDS MISS THE WAY you HANG OUT WITH THEM and BECAUSE THEY DON'T GOT boyfriend THEY MIGHT THINK HE IS MORE IMPORTANT THEN YOUR FRIENDSHIP BUT THERE IS A SAYING THAT SAID BOYS COME and GO FRIENDS LASTED.P.S YOUR GOOD FRIEND ADIVER

Hey Honey,
I've been with my boyfriend Chris for 8 months it took us 4 months to get together after four months of liking eachother and four months of awkard questions (I.e are you two going out? then we would both go silent and bright red and not answer the question) mind you I had to ask him out. Everybody thinks I am so unhappy, Some of my friends don't like him, but, now, I miss my friends aswell, The night I met him was the night I gave away every single one of my friendships with the people that actually meant something to me. Knightly (My boyfriend) is 18 and I am 16, I hang out with his friends, who are 18 and are a bunch of dickheads who scream out car windows that they are "going to kill you". Thank god Knightly isn't like them but, I have regretfully given up my friends and wont let him do the same thing. Every weekend I go out and drink and het stoned, I have finally come to the conclusion not to sink that low, and that I have to live like I'm 16 and not 18. I have no girl friends I now have to go shopping by myself, I have no girl friend to confide in and generally just doig the girlly things. The only girl interested in me is a gothic stalker.

I said this to make sure that you dont give your friends up, at least give them a chance. But make sure that they understand that he means a lot to you, and that if they were true friends they should respect that and give him the oppurtunity to be accepted. I wish I had a friend like Danielle, she sounds sweet and loyal.

If you ever need to talk or clear your head my email address is Fun mail me Trust me I've been through a lot, and there is few things that I wouldnt understand.

Goodluck Girl,

Hailey

Just a po9int from before chris is my boyfriends name but his nickname is knightly

yeah I've been going out with my boyfriend Chris for 7 months, and he recently got in jail for 6 months which sucks, but yeah my friend rhonda used to always say me & him had the worst relationship ever, that we were the worst couple, but now she understands how much we are in love after me, her and him hung out together as a group more, and now that hes in jail she even says she misses him too, which is a good thing because I dont have her trying to make me move on because I dont want to.

I know how you feel. my boyfriend can treat me badly sumtims, and my friends HATE him becuase of it but even 99% of the time hes funny, kind and genorous

anyway - if your friends are tearing you down so much, mayb they're not yur friends.

Go to Danielle - you can tell her how you feel and if you have already, then live through it with her!

good luck!
