ADVICE | DEAR CAROL

Not invited to the class holiday party

 
This girl is having a huge holiday party, and she invited everyone in the class except three people. I was one of the three. She used to be my best friend. I don’t have the guts to ask her why she didn’t invite me.

 

Dear Left Out,

That stinks, no two ways about it. As far as how you handle it, you have a couple of choices. You could confront your one-time friend in private and tell her how you feel. Or, you might decide to say nothing at all, accepting that friendships can shift when you least expect it.

 

Plan something fun for yourself the day of the party. Maybe rent a hilarious flick from Redbox, go out to dinner with mom or hang out with the other two kids who weren’t invited if they’re free that day.

this happened to me before: someone (idk who) was giving out halloween invitations, and the only reason i knew they were giving them out was because when everyone opened their binders, there was the paper with the pumpkin on it. i wasn't angry but somehow i felt left out.

I made a really awesome great new friend this year. We talk a lot and seem like we have the potential to become best friends. She's friends with a lot of mean girls who have bullied me in the past, but I really haven't cared until now. I feel like one of those girls is spreading rumors about me to her and they always give me rude looks whenever I talk to her or when we hang out. Should I do something or ignore it?




Hey girlie,

Well, ask yourself this question: are the rumors they're spreading changing the way she acts around you? If so, then you can address it with her. (Just say something like, "I have no idea what they have against me, but please don't believe the stuff they say. It's so annoying that they spread stuff like that, but I just can't control it. Trust me - if something is true, I'll tell you." If it's not affecting her behavior towards you though, ignore it! It's just silly gossip and she's probably a smart person, who knows to believe your story, not theirs. You're friends with her for a reason! Smile

It's ok I remember when I wasn't invited to something. It was the day of my big vollyball game and I overheard that if we win the game they were going over to Mcdonalds so I waited and waited to get invited then at the big game no one invited me I was sad then my mom helped me get through she knows how ALL of us feel they've been through this!

Mod Mod Mod!!!
Lately, my friend has been really moody and sometimes mean. Like just yesterday, some person accidentally spilled water on her and she got so mad that she took her own water bottle and poured water all over them.
And lately she'll be talking to me and then suddenly stop and go talk to someone else, usually the more popular people. It really bugs me and makes me sad because I'm left by myself all of the time.
Help please!




Hey girlie,

Try catching her when she's kinda calm/relaxed and say something like, "Hey...is everything ok?" Let her respond - she'll probably say, "Yeah, why?" Then you can say something mature and vague about the situation to get her to open up, like, "You've just seemed really stressed lately. Like kinda mad or something." If she doesn't want to talk, that's ok. But at least she knows people have been noticing it - and that you care enough to mention it. <3 Give it a try!
