DEAR CAROL: Forgotten Friend?


I have a friend who’s a year older, and we’ve been friends since I was 5. She says I’m her BFF, but I think she had a birthday party with her other friends and didn’t invite me. Last year at her party, I ended up not sleeping over because only two of her friends were nice to me! Should I ask her if she had a party without me?

Dear Friends ’Till The End?,

Maybe she didn’t invite you because things didn’t go so well last year – and she didn’t tell you because she didn’t want to hurt you. If your goal is to stay friends, don’t expect to be part of everything she does. Enjoy the time you do spend with her rather than worrying about who else she’s hanging with. I hope you two can resolve things, but keep making new friends. Not all friends are “friends ’till the end.” But some are.
