Dear Plumpy: When Friends Fight

 

Dear Plumpy,

Summer is supposed to be awesome, right? Why then, has my summer been so awful so far? Well, I’ll tell you why. Because I’m having a HUGE fight with my former BFF. The worst part is that the fight is just ridiculous. Like, it’s not even over anything important. Which is SUPER frustrating.  Anyway, I miss her a ton and I want to make up. So…what do I do?

Dear PJC,

Ah, fights. They happen to the best of best friends. But the good news is that there’s a simple way to fix the problem: apologize.
You’ve probably heard the saying “it takes two to tango”.  That means that it takes two to have a fight. So that means it takes two to fix a fight – but just like in dancing, someone has to lead. And that someone is going to be you. I’m not sure what the exact situation is, but what I do know is that a heartfelt apology works wonders. Here are some apology options:

1.       Write your friend a note or email and apologize that way.

2.       Write your friend a note or email and ask to meet in person so you can apologize face-to-face.

3.       Bake your friend’s favorite treats, along with a note.

4.       Go for a walk with your friend and tell her you’re sorry.

5.       Call your friend and apologize over the phone.

You might feel nervous or awkward, and you might be worried that your friend won’t accept your apology. But if you’re being honest, and if you apologize straight from the heart, I bet you’ll be BFFs again in no time.

Good luck.

Love,

Plumpy

    Did you ever think that perhaps she started hanging out with other girls to make you jealous? Sometimes people are too shy to say they are sorry, so they go for a different path. Tell her you are sorry and want to be friends again. If your BFF refuses to make up, then start to try and make new friends, boys and girls. And don’t let her teasing and meaness get to you. You know who you are, you know you are sorry, and if she won’t apologise, leave it at that. It’s her fault she is losing a friend like you by not making up. If she dosn’t make up, than she is a fair-weather friend, and you might want to start looking for someone who will stick around. And don’t be afraid to try making friends with boys. You can have friends who are boys. If people tease you about this, don’t worry.
