Dear Agony Aunt,
I feel so terrible. One of my best friends shared his annoying experiences in a basketball match. His teammate didn't pull his weight, which made them lose the match. Disappointed by his behavior, he complained to me about what happened. I could totally understand him so I wanted to let others know his feeling and try to help him out. However, my friend thought I had a big mouth and made him embarrassed in his team. He even avoided talking to me at school.
What should I do
