In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You will probably be hurt by what your friend says about you, even if they stick to the truth. The key to dealing with this kind of drama, though, is to ignore it. If you decide to "set the record straight" you will be playing into a vicious friend feud that can go on for a long time. "Setting the record straight" can jeopardize your other friendships and keep you from moving on. For example, if your ex friend spreads rumors about you at school, ignore them. Don't spread bad things about them in retaliation. Nobody wants to pick sides. It isn't fair to ask your mutual friends to do so. Avoid gossiping about your ex best friend, especially with mutual friends. You should also refrain from sending any messages back and forth between mutual friends. Never say things to your friends like "Next time you see them, tell them I said that they are a liar!" This mostly goes for mutual friends, but it also applies friends who attend the same school. Any gossip or rumors may find their way back to your ex friend. Avoid talking to your former friend. Distance yourself from the things that you used to do together, and change any routines that heavily involved your former friend. There will be instances where you and your former friend have to co-exist, but limit contact with them as much as possible. If this friend is from school, you could explain the situation to your teacher. Tell them that pairing you for projects may keep you from doing a good job. Most nasty comments or rude gestures are done to get a reaction out of you. If you don't give them a reaction, your ex friend will leave you alone much faster. Stay positive by realizing that what your ex best friend says about you doesn't actually define you. You should also allow yourself to feel good for ignoring the immaturity and letting the situation go. Don't retaliate if your ex best friend leaves a nasty note. Just throw the note away and go on about your day. Try not to be upset.
Summary: Ignore what your ex best friend says about you. Leave other friends out of the feud. Set boundaries for yourself. Pretend it doesn't bother you.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: To make a large living room more livable and less intimidating, create two or more distinct sections. Backless or low-backed sofas, especially L-shaped ones, are excellent for dividing a room without blocking line of sight or creating odd, tall distractions in the center of the space. Dividing a large rectangular space into two squares often improves its appearance, as square spaces are almost always more appealing to the eye. You can use one or more sections for other purposes as though they weren't part of your living room, although the overall color scheme should match. An extra large ottoman is better than a coffee table for making a large space between couches or chairs feel cozy. A small couch will feel out of place in a large room, so replace a larger one or buy a second matching one and angle them slightly toward each other to form one side of your furniture arrangement. If all your paintings or wall hangings are small, place them in groups to make a large, pleasing arrangement that fills visual space. Tapestries tend to be larger and cheaper than paintings. An indoor potted plant you're willing to care for can add color and visual interest where there used to be empty space. Decorative figurines, sculptures, or ceramics draw attention to a smaller scale. Don't clutter the table so much it becomes unusable, however; one to four pieces on each one is sufficient. If you're interested in a complete redesign, using rich colors, wainscoting, or multiple colors to make the space less bare. Drawing attention to the walls makes your guests feel encompassed by the space in an intimate environment.
Summary:
Use large, low furnishings to divide the room. If your room is too small to divide comfortably, fill space with oversize furniture. Use large wall art or multiple smaller pieces. Add tall house plants to fill corners and bare areas. Place accessories on tables. Paint or decorate the walls and ceiling.
