First when me and my friend were in first grade we were really good friends. Yea we would get into those little stupid fights that little kids always immaturely had, but we always made up. Now that we're older we've both changed. During our 6th and 7th grade year my friend became a cheerleader. She was leaving me for these people that I absolutely could not stand. On top of that, her mom didn't like me very much for the soul reason that I wear black.. Now her mom is getting so strict about her being with me and my other friends because she lost her mp3 player while we were at the mall. Her mom has said so many hurtful things like "If you were at the mall with your other friends you wouldn't have lost that mp3 player." and she even flipped out at my friend because she bought a GREEN (not black) greenday shirt from Hot topic. I think another reason why she might not like me is because I'm a democrat and my dad is Jewish.. and their family is completely evangelical Republican.. If my friend and I can solve our differences shouldn't her parents be able to put them aside? I hate this so much because for once in 2 years we are best friends again and I don't want to lose her. It hurts me a lot that she isn't allowed to be around me.. except at school, and that we can't do anything together. It's not like I do drugs, or do bad things. Infact, I teach a sunday school class, play on a select soccer team, and I even have a's in all advanced classes. It's so superficial, and I don't know any way to get around this, other than to wait another 4 years to have my friend back when we get out of highschool. I don't want to wait that long.. not again.. 2 years was hard enough without her support. Please give me some advice.

MyPainIsReal answered Tuesday January 11 2005, 6:09 pm: Sounds like her parents are real assholes. I vote you have your Mom or Dad talk to her Mom or Dad. That's a good solution. Adults usually listen to each other. If that doesn't work you'll just have to live with the only school visiting for a while. My friend and I had to do that too. But we spent every waking minute at school together that we could and we still have our friendship now even though her Mom sometimes still won't let me come over. Once you all can drive, who are you parents to know who you REALLY went to the movies with, eh? ;) I say try the parent to parent talk thing. Need anymore help, let me know. xo
<b>Edit<b/>*If you can't do that than there isn't really much help and you didn't give me that slight detail. I guess all you two girls can do is confront her mother or whoever and dicuss it. You don't have that many options so it's hard to be picky:-/ [ MyPainIsReal's advice column | Ask MyPainIsReal A Question ]
