Friend or Foe

Dear Junebug: My daughter has a friend with whom she has been friends for several years. The friend has recently been having trouble with telling the truth about a lot of things. She has used prayer requests to start rumors, etc. Now, this friend has expressed to a mutual friend of hers and my daughter that my daughter is someone "who lies a lot." The comment got back to my daughter and she is hurting. I'm not sure what to do. The friend is going through a lot of family issues, so that may be the reason for this extreme behavior, but I'm not sure. Face to face with my daughter she doesn't express comments like that. I'm not sure she would be completely honest if confronted. What to do?

Witness the Right Way

Hey Junebug!  When you preach the Gospel to others, is there a specific thing you say every time, or does God reveal to you what to say?

Bullied at Church

Dear Junebug: I am almost 13 and being bullied.  What the bad part about it is that I’m being bullied at church. These two specific girls keep picking on me just because I listen to music they don’t (Justin Bieber, Greyson Chance). They keep telling me “you’re stupid you need to listen to real music or only losers listen to things like that”. It’s really hard because sometimes I don’t even want to go to church on Sundays or Wednesdays because I know they'll be there. My mom says I should just stay away from them. But it’s REALLY hard because one of the girls used to be my best friend. I don’t understand why God allows things like this to happen to good people? I’ve had major headaches because of this situation. I need help. Please write back soon.

Can Girls Really Be Friends with Guys?

Dear Junebug: I am in high school and at the beginning of last year I became really close friends with a guy in my grade; not close to dating or anything, just very close friends. He recently got a girlfriend and ever since we hardly ever talk at all. I recently asked him about it and he basically told me it was out of respect for his girlfriend and that he's sorry he hurt me, but it's not going to change. However, he also said he's still here for me, but not to expect him to call or talk to me. He's a very nice Christian boy and probably the best guy friend I've ever had. Before, I never would have guessed in a million years he'd leave me (and every other girl/friend he has ) behind for a girl. I completely understand that he's not going to text me every night like he used to, but I don't understand why we can't even be friends anymore. Please help.

Will We Ever Get It Right?

Dear Junebug: If we love God with all our heart, soul and mind, then why do we do so many things outside His will for us?
