Hey Pandas, My Friend’s Been Sharing My Secrets — Forgive Or Cut Ties?
Are any of y’all 6th graders? I am, and I need some advice. One of my best friends at school has been telling all my secrets. I’ve been sharing everything with her since the school year started, and she’s been telling her sister the whole time. She’s also said a few mean things about me and other people. Should I forgive her or just cut ties?

Not enough information. How long have you been friends? What secrets did she tell? At age 12 she sounds like a typical preteen and she does this for attention. Dump her.
PS: I was in 6th grade way back in 1972. Kids were the same back then. You will make a lot of aquaintances and a few friends over the years. Cherish the friends. Treat people fairly.
If she can't keep secrets, she can't be trusted. Trust is fundamental to a good friendship. Bye...
No absolute answer it depends on the nature of the secrets, and the other qualities that made that person your friend in the first place. An occasional slip or minor indiscretion may warrant no more than some chiding.
