Going to a friend's party when I don't like the guests

Check these out, too...

My friend is having a party and some people I don't like are going to be there. Should I skip the party, or go and ignore them? What if something goes wrong? What do I do?

If you have a few close friends going that you know you can hang out with and be comfortable around, then I say go for it! Have your own fun and don’t let other people ruin your night.

There’s no reason you should have to interact with the people you don’t like if there are other girls and guys you can hang with. If you’re faced with confrontation, though, don’t sweat. Slap a friendly smile on your face and keep your words civil. Just ‘cause you don’t like each other doesn’t mean you can’t get along for one night, right?

Just in case, though, let’s say you do go to the party and something bad does happen. What now? Call Mom and Dad, an older sib or family member, or an older friend who can legally drive and ask for a ride home. There’s no shame in heading home early. If you need an excuse, tell your buds you’re really not feeling well. Head outside for a little fresh air and wait for your getaway car, OK, babe?

Good luck and have fun!

Hey girls! I just want you to know that you are beautiful inside and out! There is no reason to be ashamed about anything about you. It's what makes you you. I used to be insecure about my tallness and now I don't even care. If you think that your friends or crush thinks you're weird or something they're not really your friends. If they really like you they'll like you for you. Ur beautiful!

mod, I'm really good at math and English but I never speak up in class, share my opinion or raise my hand. I'm too afraid to look like a smarty-pants. I don't want guys to think I'm a snob or be too intimidated by me. I'm afraid people will think I'm a know it all, because I'm not. Thanks for reading =)

This is a huge problem, not only in America but all over the world. It is never, never, never wrong for a girl to look smart. Why would you want to change how talented you are and how hard you work just so a guy who's too afraid you like the real you will like it? Why would you want people to like you if they will only like you if you're less than you can be? People who don't like smart people are usually jealous. Being smart is a great gift that will get you tons of friends, guys, jobs and opportunities that are worth it. Even if the opinion of people in your class seems like a big deal now, it's really not. There are plenty of people your age who appreciate a smart girl and, as you get older, that number only gets higher. In countries all over the world, girls aren't allowed or aren't able to afford to get the education you're getting now. You owe it to those girls andto yourself to let everyone know how smart you are, and to be proud of it.
