How do I get my friend back?

 
 

Check these out, too...

  • I called my bud's school "skanky" and now she's fuming
  • I'm freaked about befriending the populars
  • My guy mocked my bestie...and now she won't talk to me
  • My bestie isn't acting like a very good friend
  • My friend sulks if I do better in school than her. Help!

My BFF doesn't like it when I hang out with my friend Laura. She always gets jealous and says mean things about her. But I like Laura and I want to keep being her friend.

 

My BFF has no right to tell me who to hang out with, so I stayed away from her. Now Laura and I are best friends and have way more in common than I had with my ex-BFF, but I still miss her. I’m afraid she doesn’t want anything to do with me because I ditched her. How can we start being friends again?

 

You’re right: Your BFF was not acting like a BFF. She should be welcoming to the other people in your life. But she also may have felt threatened by your new friendship and did not handle it the right way.

 

Your ex-bestie might miss you too, but feels rejected. Try being honest with her and let her know that you didn’t like the ‘tude she was giving Laura, but that you wish all three of you could be friends. Or at least that you could regain your old friendship.

 

Just be straight with your friends, and try not to expect them to read your mind. You might find that you’re more on the same page than you think.

Hey, Me and my best friend amie have been friends since grade 8 and I about two years ago I gave my bff a number so a guy that would leave me alone, so she started talking to him, and they started dating, she would talk to me for months then she would talk to me, then we got in a fight over something that I didn't want to do, they save and I started talk for a week after and I haven't heard from here since and that was like 5-6 months ago and we are friends of facebook, when ever I said her a message telling her how I fell about is going on, or tell her I miss her and would like to talk to her I don't get a msg back, what should I do.

mod mod mod! i have been friends with sophia for a long time and last summer i made a new friend named brooklyn and we became really good friends fast. but at this after school activity me, brooklyn and sophia where in the same group, and i found out sophia and brooklyn didn't like each other at all. sophia had another friend there and brooklyn didn't so i was with brooklyn more, but i was sophia some of the time too. now when ever i'm at one of there houses there always telling me what they don't like about each other and tell me they don't now why i'm friends with the other. me and brooklyn have more in common than me and sophia, so i like brooklyn better, but i wish they would like each other more. is there any thing i can do to get them to stop being mean to each other?

 

 

Hey chica! I'd definately talk to each of them separately, and let them know that while you respect their opinion, you don't want to hear about how bad the other person is. Let them know that you're going to be friends with  both of them, regardless of what the other thinks.

I was best friends with this girl named chloe last year. Now she has a friend named angie. Angie seems nice. But now I don't think she wants to be my friend any more. She is stuck like glue to angie and they wisper about things at the lunch table(It feels like they are talking about me sometimes). And yesterday I thought I'd sit down by angie then she moved and directed to another table leaving me alone. Chloe said that angie is perfectly nice and would never do anything to be mean. Now CHloe claims I gave her a dirty glare but I don't recall.... I feel very confused and I don't know what to think.




Hey girl, that def sounds confusing. Let her know that you really don't understand what she's accusing you of, but you've never done anything like that. You think they're great and just hope you all can be friends. Be friendly and genuine and remember in this case the way to play is the more, the merrier.

well my friends keep fighting and im always in the middle of it Frown every time they say mean things and do something bad well (this sounds really stupid) but i worry if they are good friends or not.you see i was always told to always have good friends because they infuence who you are and how you act- but now im really really worrie dabout whether mine are good or not Frown not that they are not amazing and they dont fight very often and they are usually amazing but times like this when they fight make me question things :/ its really stressing me out. people have said tho when i ahve said this to my mum and sister that every group of friends have fighs and every friend says mean stuff to each other cause. what do i do ?please please help! <3 xxxxxxxxxxxx




Hey babe,

Just because your friends can't seem to agree with one another doesn't mean they're bad friends for you - it just means they have stuff to work out between themselves! Try reading these articles about friend fights... I think they might really help <3
