One of my friends is super defensive?

Well im not exactly sure wat ur question is. u kinda switched from catholic education pros and cons to issues with "beth" and "claire". about the catholic school stuff i went to a catholic middle school and currently attend a catholic high school (i actually lov it but its personal preference i guess). ppl will always hav something bad to say about this school and tht school. Last yr (im a freshman now) every lunch usually ended in criticizing eachothers future high schools. i wudnt worry too much about it. anyway about beth.. maybe u shud talk to her about claire. if u guys run away and ignore her shes only gonna get more frantic and upset. she prob feels like shes losing u as a friend and any little thing upsets her. so tlk to her and just let her know tht u rly hate claire and thts why u run away. if she values ur friendship shell understand and either end the friendship with claire or find a way around it. shes eventually gonna hav to choose btw u.
