Hi Jessica,

I'm not a native speaker or a teacher, but felt like I could help on your essay - I'm just creating courage myself to write my first essay in Spanish, which is the language I'm studying here in italki. Just after I started reviewing it I saw that Jay has already done that, but I continued doing it even so. I don't know how long you have been studying English, but congratulations, you are on the right path, practice is key for success. 

About the situation itself, I don't know what I would do, but I think that I would try not to interfere on the situation, this might be something that happened between them that they don't want or are not ready yet to share it with you. Personal relations are complicated and sometimes there's nothing we can do, just respect it and give some space to the involved ones.

Hope this helps :)

I was once in a similar dilemma years ago. I had 2 friends who didn't get on and I felt torn because I cared about them both. I told them how I felt, how I cared about them both but I that I didn't know what to do. They cared about me and talked about their issues to each other and we were all good friends until we moved out of each other's lives. I don't know if it would help but at least they would know how they are hurting you. It is usually a good idea to say "I feel....." not "you are....." eg. I feel very uncomfortable when you two fight because I don't know what to do, I love you both and I don't want to chose." Don't try to fix it, just say how you feel. It is their issue and only they can fix it.

I think it's better to not force it, see them separately and if they volunteer information on the problem, good; otherwise, let time do its thing and see if things calm down.

There is something that has been really upsetting me recently. I don't know how to handle it. Here is the dilemma: i I have two friends , three of us are very close before . I don't know why , in but recently , the two both of them are not getting along with each other. and I'm in a pickle!, I wanna help to change the situation but i'm not sure how to. I don't know what happened between them, i think i need to figure out what's going on first, and then find the solution. If that goes well, the three of us maybe can might still be good friends , if the ending is does not work out so well, at least i have tried.

Sometimes, i feel so sad about those things , i think friends are supposed to back for each other up , there they may have some disagreements between each other  friends , but we cannot let those trials things to affect our relationship .

Hey Jessica! 

I hope these corrections help you to improve your English! 

I have used the strikethrough tool to show the words I would delete. I have also used the highlighting tool (in yellow) to show the words I have added in.

Jay.
