Ok... Here goes... My friend Sabab(who used to be friends with my friend Daniel) wants to beat up Daniel, and Daniel... who is my friend still thinks Sabab is friends with him... but he's friends with Joshua(who is currently bullying me), and then Joshua is friends with Rosie(spiteful, selfish and mean person) who is slightly mean to me, but a bit better seeing as her cousin has AS. So now... Daniel has to deal with Joshua and Rosie... while Sabab wants to kill him... and I'm stuck in the middle. I'm having to keep contact with my friends via e-mail so Daniel doesn't get suspicous. If he does get suspicous he gets Joshua and Rosie to wind me up for him while Sabab chases after him. Then Sabab and everyone else get told off and they all blame it on me! :(

Ah, tangled in a social web. I live to serve!

First, you have to tell Daniel that Sabab is mad at him. He's going to be living a lie if you don't. It will do no good keeping secrets from him, and friends help each other in need. He has to know or else he'll be taken completely by surprise. If he finds out that you knew and didn't tell him, you risk making him mad at you.

Second, why is Joshua bullying you? There's a 99% chance that you can adapt yourself to make him leave you alone, and potentially get other people to look at you in a higher esteem too. If you don't have a reason for his actions, think of what he says to you for evidence.

No one says you even have to talk to Rosie, though. She seems like a minor problem. She's a friend of a friend of a friend. From what you describe she has no beef with Daniel, yet you say he has to "deal with" her somehow.

So yeah, I might be able to help you a little once I get a sense of Joshua's problem with you.

I meant 'deal' meaning that since Daniel is my friend he can either help me to calm down and not get angry and then Rosie won't be friends with him anymore, or he can stay on Rosie's side of the arguement which of course means I won't play with him the next day

and Joshua, who also has problems sort of like me. I'm sort of friends with him but he gets a thrill out of winding me up, whenever Daniel winds me up(which he rarely does now) Joshua joins in. But Joshua has finally realised he can take me alone since he thinks he's taller than me(which he isn't). Daniel would need to have Joshua on his side of I'd probably have got really really angry and trashed him. So he stays friends with Joshua for protection... which isn't good because Joshua can trash me

You have to deal with your own problems, and let your friends deal with their problems.

Here is what you do:

1. Beat the living the s**t out of Joshua, and knock his bully-ass out.

2. Let your friends Sabab and Daniel solve the problem they have with each other. Only they can do that.

3. Your a friend, not a mediator. Stay out of problems that aren't yours. That way, when s**t hits the fan, you won't be blamed for anything.

Joshua would just do the same thing back, he is stronger, faster and just as tall as me. Even If I do the teachers will just tell me off while Joshua does it again
