Friendship Troubles
By Megan
Hello there everyone. This guide is kinda depressing, since it has to do with friends who get into fights. Sadly, I was in a big one, with the most well known girl in the school. So that is why I am probably the best person on the Zingo Planet team to write this guide. Now since I have finished my sad little depressing intro, I will start with the rest.
When It Starts
When the fight starts, you might not even know it! Someone could just tell you in a text message or something and you wouldn’t even know why it happened. The person could be mad about a previous experience or they might be going through a faze. Either way, it’ll still hurt. Don’t get so mad that you want to hurt the person that just results in further meanness. And trust me, you do not want that! Another reason why the person would start a fight would be because of someone hanging out with that person friend, and they got jealous because they thought they would lose that friend to you. Just try and reassure them that they won’t lose that friend, and that he/she will have to get over the fact that you are friends with that person.Getting Through It
Once the fight has started, the news could spread all over! Whether you are at school, the mall, anywhere. The person could also turn all of your friends against you, only true friends would stand by your side. The way I got through my fight, was to just ignore the person, and all of the rumors and things that her “posse” was saying about me. Then after I went home and did my homework, I would just sit at my desk and write out my feelings. I could write it in an e-mail or just on a plain piece of paper, either way it still feels good to get your emotions out of you with out hurting someone. You could also write songs about it like blues songs or something like that. Be creative! Draw a picture. Don’t just sit around moping. Do something about it.The Final Stage
The day has finally come. The day, when you decide to stand up for yourself. The way I stood up for myself, was by going on yahoo messenger and clicking on the persons name, and then writing out how I felt. Of course, she got angry, but she left me alone, and I left her alone. But then, when school started, I found out I had all of my classes with her! If this happens to you just leave them alone. One day, a discussion might come up and you ask a question and she answers it for you, and then you might talk about what happened and what it was like when you two were friends, and the good old times, and then she might ask to start over and be friends again. Should you accept? That my friend is up to you. If you want to give it a whirl, go ahead. The girl I was fighting with did exactly that, and I decided to give it another shot. So far, things are going great, between us. Now all I have to do is get the rest of her friends to start over and it’ll be all better. I only need one more person to go and then we will all be happy again. If you need more help though I suggest getting a really great book that also helped me through my dark days. The title is called: A Smart Girl’s Guide To Friendship Troubles. It really helped me get through it all. You can find it at, Barnes and Nobles Bookstores, and at Borders. Just let me know if things work out. I would love to hear all of your stories. Remember to visit the S-Neo site on the front of the web site! Bye now! Good luck with all of your friendship troubles.We hope this tutorial helped you! For suggestions, questions, or anything, contact yael@lime-pie.zzn.com or sasha@lime-pie.zzn.com.
