Hi, I need some help.
At the start of the year I made friends with some people who go to the same film school. They're great friends but don't know if a want to tell them I'm dying. I don't want them to treat me any different to anyone else. Should I tell them or keep it secret.

If you think they might understand then tell them, or if you want to tell them just let them understand you don't want to be treated differently because of it because they might not be sure how to go about it themselves. posted 2 months ago.

	mrsblack_1089 said: it all sort of depends on how GOOD of friends they are. If you hang out all the time, it's better to tell the truth. If it's more a casual acquaintance relationship, you might keep it to yourself. Use yoiur judgement. if you decide to tell them, they might not know quite wat 2 say, so don't be surprised if they are acting weird or don't respond 2 ur phone calls, texts, emails, whatever. if they don't come back around, remember you have plenty of other friends and family who love you and who accept you. and me. if you ever want to talk, i'm here. :) posted 24 days ago.
