The wrong kind of friend?

Question

Well, have a friend who is a jerk/nerd and i have a group of friends that are popular. The thing is i am the kind of person who can't tell that nerd that he is a nerd. and i don't want my popular to find out about the nerdy one.

Now, i need someone with a good soul to tell me what to do.....

Answer 1

Dear shinshi,

Stop talking, start listening, stop giving free advise.

Take the friends as they are. If you cannot do that give up.

Don't give free advise to anyone.

Everybody in this world thinks they know everything.

Open your mind, ears, eyes and shut your mouth.

See what happens then. They teach you everything.

What is that? human psychology and behaviour. What more do you want?

Answer 2

if you are hiding your friend then i'd say you dont like him that much. let him go. you what i'd do to see who is the right friend? i'd tell one group about the other group and see who stays. if the populars ditch you just coz you hang out with a non-popular then they dont care about you. if the nerd stays even though you hang out with people who hate nerds, then he is your friend. and viseversa. try it out. its the only way. do it quick though coz if either side finds out before you tell them they will both ditch you.

Answer 3

It doesn't sound like you and this friend are that 'good buddies' or else you would not care what your 'popular' friends thought about him as from what you are saying you do not want them to find out about him.

But if it bothers you this much just break it off with this friend, as if you tell him anything about being 'nerdy' he is going to break up his friendship with you anyway.

Answer 4

grow up...people are just that..people.  who cares if hes nerdy? real friends wouldnt care about that kind of thing.

Answer 5

I WOULD JUST EXPLAIN IT TO HIM AN TELL HIM THAT I LIKED HIM NO MATTER WHAT BUT WOULD BE WILLING TO HELP HIM TO BE MORE POPULAR IF HE WANTED!! AND, AS FOR YOU, YOU SHOULDN'T BE WORRIED ABOUT WHAT OTHERS THINK BECAUSE IF HE'S A TRUE FRIEND AN YOU LIKE HIM THAT IS ALL THAT SHOULD MATTER!!
