my friend is a theif

Yes, I'm sure the truth will come out. But due to her behavior lately I believe that this is true. And since we live in a small town, I'm sure the truth will come out very soon. I'd spoken with her before about her crazy behavior and it just seems to be getting worse. I love her very much and don't want to end our friendship, but I don't want people to think that I am doing the same nutty things that she is doing. She is really getting involved in some things that she should not and I am truly worried about her. Do you have any helpful informaition?

The only thing that I know is to tell her the truth. I can understand what you are saying and what you are feeling. I had a very dear friend when in high school, that due to some of her behavior, even though I loved her, I had to step away from the friendship. All you can do is talk to her, it is up to her to change. She may and she may not. She may need to go through this period at this time in her life. Maybe let her know that if she needs to talk you will be there for her and just not hang out with her. Incidentally, I met with my old friend years after and we have the same bond that we had way back when. Does she have a parent or someone else that she looks up to that maybe you could confide in that would maybe talk to her? I hope that it all works out for you, and I am so sorry that you have this worry. :(
