about

Hey everybody. I've love giving advice so I'll answer every question I can. If you need any advice on anything, just ask me! A little about me- I play tennis and I love to shop and hang out at my pool with friends. I'll be a sophomore in high school this year so I've had plenty of experience on friendship and relationships. I always try to take my time and answer every question thoughtfully. I don't care about ratings or any of that, I just want to help people out. :-)

Well, my bestfriend and i have been best friends for 8 years *I'm going to be a junior* and we've been tennis doubles partners since 8th grade. This summer she's been slacking off and I've been working out everyday. I play tennis atleast 3x a week but i'm starting to play more, and the days i'm not playing i'm reading a book on it or running! I really want to get better and I'm working really hard. But she really isn't. She's played tennis 3x this entire summer! Sometimes she skips tennis practice for work *understandable but she's just afraid to ask to get off an hour early even though she's done it once before and they were fine with it*, but tomorrow she's missing it for a party for some girl she just met! And practice are over at 7- and i doubt the party is even started by then. My friend, who's a year younger then me but also is working hard this year has asked me to be her doubles partner for a tournament coming up. I was like heck yes! I really would rather play with her because I know we'd do really well and my other friend isn't even trying! What to do?

It's really cool that you're so into tennis! (like me!) As a tennis player, I know how you feel. It helps A LOT to have a partner who is on the same level as you. Not only in ability, but in focus and love for the game. Your friend doesn't seem to care too much about tennis. If I were you I would definitely start playing with the younger girl. Start practicing together so you can get used to playing with her (get a feel for her game.) If your other friend gets mad, tell her that you have nothing against her and you still want to be friends, but you'd rather play tennis with someone who's really into it. Hope this helps and good luck with tennis!
