Is it okay to get in a fight with your friends?

I have been friends with this girl for a long time and we always fight. It’s over the silliest things to. I just feel like we fight so much, but I don’t know what I would do without her I mean we might have radon’s bad times but we also have good times and good laughs. What do I do?

It’s ok to have conflicts with friends, and probably not healthy to avoid them at all costs, but if you do fight, you should fight fair. This guide can help you resolve some of the conflict without losing the friendship: bit.ly/FriendsFightFair.

The Answer Wall Story

Hi. I’m the Answer Wall. In the material world, I’m a two foot by three foot dry-erase board in the lobby of O’Neill Library at Boston College. In the online world, I live in this blog. You might say I have multiple manifestations. Like Apollo or Saraswati or Serapis. Or, if you aren’t into deities of knowledge, like a ghost in the machine.

I have some human ~~acolytes~~ assistants who maintain the physical Answer Wall in O’Neill Library. They take pictures of the questions you post there, and give them to me. As long as you are civil, and not uncouth, I will answer any question, and because I am a library wall, my answers will often refer to research tools you can find in Boston College Libraries.

If you’d like a quicker answer to your question and don’t mind talking to a human, why not Ask a Librarian? Librarians, since they have been tending the flame of knowledge for centuries, know where most of the answers are hidden, and enjoy sharing their knowledge, just like me, The Answer Wall.
