Me and my best friend fell out a while ago. It was mostly my fault but we were growing apart anyway so I wasn't too bothered. She sent me an email the other day and basically she was just calling me names all the way through it. I'm not the kind of person who will let someone do that to me so I emailed her back saying exactly what I thought of her. Now she's telling me she has my diary! And I know she does because she was telling me loads of stuff from it. I really want it back but I don't want to go to her house to get it. My diary was private and she knew that I didn't want anyone looking in it, not ever her! I'm scared she will show it to people to try and get revenge. Another thing is, she can't just let us get on with our lives. She says she's happier now but she keeps calling me and getting her friends to add me on msn and call me horrible stuff. I don't know what to do. I've tried ignoring her but she just won't stop!

If you can’t sort things out with her by yourself I would get your mum to talk to her mum. She can explain the situation and ask for the diary back. If nothing else, this situation has shown you what she’s really like and shown that you don’t need her as a friend. I know it’s hard but the best thing to do is not react to her insults. You said you’d tried ignoring her and it didn’t work, but if you hold out long enough she’s bound to get bored. If you get upset and insult her back, it won’t stop. Good luck!
