Dear  Aunt Noor,

I made a mistake for the first time in my life. I disclosed my cousins secret, but I did not mean it. She warned me not to tell anybody even her mother. I found it a risk to hide it, so I told her mother because she was the only one who can offer good help to her by giving the right advice. When she knew that I told her mother, she got angry, shouted at me, and said that she doesn't want to see my face again. She did not give me a chance to explain why I did that. I was afraid for her a lot, but she did not understand me. What can I do in order for her to forgive me because I don’t want to lose my best friend.

Dear H.O.

If we love people and those people need us, we will be ready to do anything to help them without causing any harm. You are right that asking people who are older than you is a wise action, I don’t know what kind of secret you disclosed; though, you could of used another way instead of what you did. For example, you could of told your mother that you have a friend who needed help, and you are not able to give her the suitable advice, and see what your mother will tell you. From this way, you would have helped your friend without disclosing her secret. Anyway, it is over, but you can do it next time.

About what she said that you are an unreliable friend and so on, sometimes when we get angry, we say some words unintentionally. So go and ask her to give you a chance to explain why you did it. Explain that your care for her was the only reason for disclosing her secrets, then apologize to her, I am sure that she will excuse you and forgive you because she cannot hate her best friend.

Glad to talk to you
