your friend gets upset what's your reaction he is overreacting he should have a laugh I should put myself in his shoes I know that I was a mistake and I'll say sorry words have consequences a friend tells you about one of her weaknesses and you really want to share it with others online this is so funny I'm gonna post it can you imagine how many likes I can get I am old enough to understand when it's right to post something or not and this time it's best not to silence says something - well done Hanna
