Letter #1

Dear Friend,

I've had the same best friend since preschool. We have never had a major fight or anything to break us apart. But now my friend has done something that I don't think I can forgive her for.

Christine (not her real name) gave my e-mail password to this group of girls at school that I call the "beautiful people." They are gorgeous and popular, but they are also pretty mean. They used my e-mail account to send disgusting messages, supposedly from me, to every boy In school.

Now I can't even walk down the hall without people laughing at me. What should I do?

Letter #2

Dear Friend,

I need your advice. I have a great best friend who I've known forever. She's fun to hang out with and we always share everything. Now I have to make a choice.

There is a group of really popular girls at school. They have promised to let me into their group, but on one condition. I have to give them Michele's(not her real name) e-mail password.

I know Michele would be pretty upset if I did this, but I am desperate to be popular for once In my life. What could they do with her e-mail password anyhow? I'll Just tell Michele to change It after I give it to them anyway.

Please help!
