Losing A Friend


By Megan When you loose a friend, it hurts. A lot. Believe me, I know. I just got into a huge fight with Anne. So we aren’t friends any more. And I don’t think we will ever make up. Any ways, this guide is going to be about loosing a friend, getting over it, and letting out your feelings.

Losing the Friend

When you first loose the friend, it might come as a surprise. Or, if you are like me, it might have been the result of a fight. Maybe, it was for the better, or maybe it was for the worse. What I mean is, maybe, you needed a break away from that one person, or maybe you just stopped talking and stopped talking for good. If you really didn’t want to stop being friends, try and make up. That is what I am going to do.

Making Up

If the fight was a little fight, offer to start over. If the fight was a big one, you might be a little shy around that person, so it might be harder to talk to them. You might want to take them aside from all the people and talk privately about what happened. If you two didn’t make up, then it might actually be over for good. Lets hope it isn’t though.

Getting Over It

Getting over it can be tough. There are many ways to get over it though. Here are just a few:

  • Walk your dog! Walking your pet is calming if you take a walk some where like the park or the beach.
  • Take a hot bubble bath. Bubble baths always seem to calm me down. Especially if they are really hot.
  • Listen to music. Sometimes music expresses how you feel, and you don’t say anything! Try to explore music genres, you’ll never know that you supposedly metal until you actually listen to it.
  • Try a new sport. Try out basketball or volleyball. That’s a good way to get your mind off of things, and you might find a skill you never knew you had!
  • Write songs or poems. Try to write a poem, it might be hard at first, but it is exactly the same as writing a song, which is, I have to admit also challenging. But just let the words come to you!

    Letting Out Your Feelings

    When you contain all of your feelings, it is really bad. One day you might have held so much inside of you, it might all come out in front of people that you don’t want to hear. So I suggest that you write something I call, hate mail. You get out a piece of paper or start an email to no one, and you type out what you want to say to them. But then, you throw out the piece of paper, or you delete the email, so no ones feeling actually get out. Or, you could start a blog and post how you feel, whether it be a rage, sadness, or just being relieved that you got away from that somebody. Either way, it is not a good thing to keep things bottled up inside of you.

    Conclusion

    In the end, losing a friend is very sad. Especially if you shared a bond like Anne and I did. And Anne if you are reading this, I am truly very sorry. Please let this guide help everyone with their lost friend issues. Enjoy all the other graphics, guides, and buttons!
