The past month has been really crazy between my friends.
This is my original group of friends that I use to hang out with. Ross, Tommie, Kyle, Jake, Jason, and Justin (me). Now the only one excluded is Tommie. He is a little awkward to be around with... just not cool to be in public with according to what the rest of the group says.
So my friend "Tommie" has been having some issues with my other friend "Ross". They were friends at the time but then Ross went a little far. Ross made fun of Tommie for about a week (who deserved it for hacking Ross' XBL account and burning down a house of mine in minecraft, but I wasn't too mad) and I guess Tommie just couldn't take it anymore.
We were at a basketball camp and Ross, in between our games would tease him (about a week making fun of him). When the camp got done we went into the locker room where we were going to take a shower and head on home. Well as you can obviously guess, Ross started to make fun of him.
Tommie started with "ROSS, it's been a WEEK and you are still MAKING FUN OF ME!" And because Tommie usually never yells and it got the entire team's attention. Ross replied back with "Tommie, it's okay, I'm kidding. Are you still my friend?" Tommie replied back basically saying, "NO, I HATE YOU!"
Out of nowhere, Tommie (in a towel) charges at Ross (who is naked) and shoves him against the lockers and yells in his face telling him to stop making fun of him. *Awkward
So, as we all head into the showers, every shower is taken by everyone except for Tommie, who is standing in the middle clenching his hands together, about to cry, and starts talking to across the shower room asking "Are you still my friend anymore, Ross?" Ross, replied back with, "Tommie, just wait till I am out of the shower, I'll talk to you." Well, Tommie wanted to know right there if they were still friends anymore. Tommie just started bawling and walked out of the showers.
Since then, I have been the only one who that has been kind of talking to him. None of the other friends have been talking to him either. He has sent Sorry texts to Ross on Facebook. Tommie has said that this past few weeks has been his worst. His mom has talked to all of our mothers but they don't know what to do.
Recently, Tommie has sent me a text asking if I would still be his friend anymore. I of course said yes, but I told him I am the middle man in all of this, it's hard for me to do. He replied back with "I don't want you to pick sides in this thing so I understand if you don't want to hangout with me anymore... 4 good friends is better than one best friend, so I don't blame you at all.
It makes me feel terrible reading this, making me choose sides like this. See, I live in a small town with under 50 kids in my class. Tommie is kind of not a social person and doesn't make too many friends. We were his only friends, so he doesn't really have anyone to turn to. So he'll be a loner for the next three years of high school if I don't want to be his friend anymore...
Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you. |

1. Don't pick a side 2. Remember why they're friends in the first place 3. See if you can get them back together without getting someone killed. |

"he yelled at me and hes weird lets make him an outcast in our town" no this is not good you need to console your friends and try to get them to accept him back into your group |

it was just a misunderstanding he didn't know Ross was just kidding and he built up his anger inside of him until it exploded and he yelled in ross's face i'm like that too, i know that joking insults are just jokes but i don't feel it the poor guy has a hard time telling the difference |

What's wrong with Tommie is that he is a premature kid. He was born 2 months early. If you look at him he kind of has a down-syndrome look to him. He doesn't act that way but... I think his emotions got to him.
Another thing: Tommie loves to make fun of other people. Just as Ross did to him. He tease, joke, and hate on anyone he wants to, but he can't take it back because it offends him to much I guess... |

he just kept talking and talking in one incredibly long unbroken sentence moving from topic to topic so that noone had the chance to change the subject
it was quite hypnotic |
