I have a bit of a friend problem.
My best friend since Pre-K hates my new best friend. They've been calling each other terrible things, and I always get caught in the middle. I try to get away, but the fight always starts when one of them tries to talk to me.
What should I do?!

Make 'em play together with you, but I'm not entirely sure that'd work. Make sure they really know each other before they judge one another.

See, old friends and new friends, friends from different places (like one from school and one from your neighborhood (Even though you'd probably go to the same school)), or church, or something like that, are very awkward when put together. In this situation, things are awry, so you should take Pluto's advice. (Above post)

Force them to watch MLP:FIM together. They'll then know the magic of friendship.

Well, it really depends on what triggers the fighting, or what it is that they fight about.
But Many times, in situations of the old friend quarreling with the new friend, the problem is that the old friend is't thrilled about not receiving as much attention as before, or just doesn't like change, so he/she will try to bully the new friend away. If that is the case, time is usually the only cure, the old friend should except the change after a while. Meanwhile, try to include both friends as often as possible so either don't feel left out.
Hope this helps.

Get another friend to bully you, in front of those friends, but FAKE! Not real, it could look real, but it has to be fake, if you know what I Mean. Shout "Help! Save me, guys! Work together, settle your differences, make up, and SAVE ME!!!!!" or something like that.Then, they'll team up and Save you from the (Fake) bully.Then, you can go to one of their houses, and eat. Not sure if that will work, though.
Try that. If it fails, get them them to know each other, and then let them play with you, a game of dodgeball of something.
Hope this helps.

Yikes! D:
Your old friend doesn't have the right to bully anybody to keep you as a friend.
It won't work. Talk to each of your friends privately, and let them know how you are hurting when they fight with each other. If they're friends worth keeping, they won't want you to be so stuck and upset. They'll want to help you.
If they can't understand that by hurting each other they hurt you too, then maybe it's time to take a break for a couple weeks, or however long it takes for them to realize that fighting won't help. Don't completely ignore them, but let them know that if they can't try to be somewhat nice to each other, they can't be nice to you.

Uhh... Tell them to shut up and quit fighting next time they do it. It should work. But you have to be a bit stern about it.

Get them to talk over the phone with Evil Operator.

Try talking to them. or use a little bit of violence
Just kidding..
Try to have a conversation with each of them about how you feel in the middle when they argue with the other friend, and then move on to a group session with one of your parents or someone else reliable as well.

Oooh thats not a nice situation to be in,.I had a problem a while ago with one of my friends, she`s not my friend any more cause I realised she is not a true friend because of different things. Talk to your friends and ask them to solve out their differences,just so you can all get along. If they don`t, im not sure if your situation is similar to what mine was, you may realise that they may not be the people you think they are if they are being so cruel to each other. You dont have to break friends with them, i am sure you guys will work this out if they both love being your friend so much.
Good luck from Mangapenguin

You should make them not hate each other.

Try to find something they both like. And then talk about it.
Or explain what you feel about the matter and tell them how childish and selfish they are acting.
