Friend Advice

As a girl you have to go through many things that boys don't understand, one being girl drama. I have had to deal with this petty drama since fourth grade, and I realized that if it is always with the same person or people that they may not actually be your friend. If you always have this problem you should probably step back and look at the friendship. First question you should ask yourself is, who is this person to you, and are they really that important to you that you are crying because of something they said or did? If your answer is no then you should probably just forget about it and move on. If they don't mean that much to you, then you shouldn't care about what they think about you or say to you. But, if this person means something to you then you should look at the situation as a whole and see what they did to you to make you feel like this. Did they do something that you feel is unforgivable and you want to know why they did it or did they just say something to you that hurt your feelings? Think about what you want to say to them and talk about with them before saying anything that you will regret in the long run. After you have thought about those things, you should decide how you want to talk to them.  I advise you to talk to them in person so you know that they are really listening to how you feel instead of just looking at a message that you sent them, and ignoring your feelings. But, some people don't like to talk to people in person, so if you're like me, you can try calling them. I think that calling or meeting up in person to talk are way better than texting, but really it's up to you and how you want to deal with the situation. After you talk to them you can then decide how you want to continue the relationship, do you want to go back to how it was before? Do you just want to be cordial and friendly, but not close again? Once you figure everything out hopefully you will once again be happy. The past couple of weeks I have had problems with my friends, but now I have talked everything out with them. Once again, we are back to how we were before, but with a better understanding of each other and why we acted that way. 

I hope this helps, and if you ever need to talk to anyone you can always talk to me! :)

Until tomorrow,
