I have a very good friend name Armena that goes to my church and has all 25 years of her life. Her mother is American and her father I believe is from Turkey. Her parents dont attend the church, but her grandparents on her mothers side do and they have taken her to the church all 25 years of her life. Although her mother doesnt attend, her mother has since 1978, given money to support a missionary affiliated with the church who does work in India. The church treasurer, is very nosy and gossipy and rather than go to this girls grandparents that attend, the treasurer said to Armena, “Would your mom be interested in writing (Rebecca, the Missionary). Rebecca called me and feels that because of your fathers faith, that she cant contact your mom, since she has seen some men overseas you were abusive to their wifes”. This upset my friend Armena and the treasurer said “This is just between us” but what the treasurer meant was that she was to “keep it between us” but the treasurer could go around the church and blab about what this lady said to everyone else. My friend told her grandparents how hurt she was, so at a ladies prayer meeting, the grandmother said please pray for my granddaughter she has been hurt very badly by someone at the church. The ministers wife who isnt discreet and talks a lot (knew who her grandmother meant) even though no names were mentioned and went and told the church treasurer that. Armena stayed away from this woman who she was friendly with before, until she said that to her.
The church treasurer was angry when the pastors wife told her that and also going around telling everyone that Armena has been ignoring her, and they (the treasurer and Armena) were on friendly terms before that, so the treasurer wrote a nasty email to Armena and said:
“I was wanting to take up this issue with you and your grandparents, but since you were the one I orignally talked to, I thought I would email you. I am not sure what you told your grandmother but I happened to find out by accident that your grandma went to someone else in church and was complaining about me upsetting her granddaughter. I am very disappointed that I wanted to relay something good and exciting since this missionary wanted to tell your mom all she was able to do with the money your mom gave her, and you chose to turn it into something ugly. I am sorry my friendship with you meant so little that you would choose to not even come around me”.
A few months went by, and the treasurer angrily came to her grandmother and said “I have been told twice by two other parishioners that I was not to come to you about this, but I am angry and I will” and she told the grandmother, your granddaughter owes me an apology, she avoided me after I talked to her” The granddaughter talked to her nicely and said she never mentioned names she mentioned in a ladies prayer meeting that her granddaughter had been hurt and to pray for her so she wouldnt leave the church.
Well after all this, my friend Armena has left the church. My question is:
1) Obviously this wasnt handled well. But who is wrong in this case, the church treasurer or Armena? Naturally I dont think its Armena’s fault
2) What could have been done more properly in this situation so Armena wouldnt have left?
Who was right/wrong in this situation?

We live in a nice house and my dad was in the military a long time ago but stopped before I was born. I know he used to sell houses but since the market crash he can’t do that anymore.now he leaves the house at mysterious times, (even really really late at night sometimes) and I have no clue what his job is. I’ve asked my mom but she always gives me some bs and I can tell she’s lying. So could it be that my dad has some secret job we don’t know about?
I really need help! im 13 years old and i wear a 30A bra size! im very flat chested and summer is coming! I cant afford push-up bras at Victorias Secret and my friends make fun of me( in a friendly way) about my boob size. I dont want to make-up on my breasts because i know it will wash off and i will look stupid! Please help! Are there any cheap push-up bras, i can find at a local market!? And im not even sure if my mom will approve of a push up bra! please help!
Let me know what you honestly think about it

Sarah was a little girl without care in the world
Till her daddy died she cried visions swirled curled against her Mom
Holding palms to keep her calm tears leaked down both her cheeks
She didn’t speak for weeks except for shrieks she made while she was asleep
She kept discrete dealing with her feelings kneeling praying for any kind of healing
Hoping her daddy was hearing not knowing her Mom heard her through the ceiling
It killed her seeing her daughter grieving so she got back into dating making
Attempt’s to find a husband but found no one that could replace the space
Of Sarah’s father but they were blazing through their dollars, it was hard raising a toddler alone
They had to file for loans just to keep on their phone, they started becoming all bone
They couldn’t afford good food, Sarah’s Mom whored stripping nude to pay their dues
She started talking to clients and met an appliance man named Dan
Who asked for her hand with a wedding band and she said yes as Sarah fell to stress
Out of sight, out of mind,
out of time, to decided.
Do we run?
Should I hide?
For the rest, of my life.

Dan was a ticking time bomb always abusing Sarah’s Mom
She would vomit in disgust that she had fallen for his trust
He was in it for lust but she needed him for bills
Sarah would get the chills watching her dig in the pill bottle
What a model for a child Sarah no longer smiled
all the while at school she felt isolated and degraded
That her Mom affiliated with a person that she hated
Sarah persuaded her Mom that they needed to move on
So upon getting home they packed up all of their things
Then the door bell rang it was Dan he had forgot his key
He looked through the window saw the bags and screamed violently
Don’t you dare ******* leave! He covered his fist over with his sleeve
Punched out the glass then went niave grasping the neck of his wife
Sarah was shocked in fright watching him stop her life
She quickly darted grabbing a knife and started stabbing it into his wind pipe
Out of sight, out of mind,
out of time, to decided.
Do we run?
Should I hide?
For the rest, of my life.

He started smoking marijuana when he was 12. But now all he do is sleep & he is getting a lot darker! He sleeps from 10 in the morning until like 9 at night! He always look drowsy & out of it.. I told my mom that I think he is doing a lot more than smoking weed. It’s even getting to the point of him stealing money from my mother & my sisters. He stays out all night & when he comes in the house he looks very drowsy & zoned out and goes straight to sleep & he sleeps all day & then he will leave out at like 9 at night! I wanted to know what drug are these symptoms affiliated with & how can I help him?
