Today my friend and I were sitting together in the gym and we were getting in our groups for our graduation trip. We promised each other we'd stay in the group together - just us, we actually even needed 2 more people in the group -since about three months ago. Well, we wanted to be in a group with 3 other girls, but you were only allowed four per group, but they made an acception of five if you really had to. My friend and I asked if we could room with them- they said no - two of the three girls like me.
About 5 minutes later.. she gets called over by them. I'm sitting there by myself talking to other people and she "sends a message down" saying that she's gonna stay in their group. Luckily, I found another friend to room with.
Do I have the right to be pretty ticked off, and if she apologizes or not, should I say it was rude?

gOrgeOusx33 answered Tuesday May 3 2005, 7:40 pm: yes that is incredibly wrong- i think you should consider whether or not she is a good friend. i would be incredibly pissed off. i mean if she totally i mean TOTALLY ditched you to be with other ppl? i would say yo have every right in the world to be upset. 1st off- friends dont ditch friends
2nd - she actually broke a promise !! [ gOrgeOusx33's advice column | Ask gOrgeOusx33 A Question ]
OrionsFire answered Tuesday May 3 2005, 3:20 pm: I think you should be pissed, she basically blew you off to feel like she was part of a group. Eventually she will come crying back and you need to express to her that what she did is wrong and it is going to take time for you to forgive her.

mapetiteodette answered Monday May 2 2005, 9:24 pm: You do have the right to get ticked off, because this girl was with you, then ditched you for her other friends. You don't need to tell her that you thought it was rude- just treat her normally. If she apologizes, forgive her and be kind to her. This has happened to me before, where one friend leaves me hanging to go hang out with other people, and it really hurts my feelings. If you feel really upset about it, go ahead and tell her. If she really is your friend, she would apologize to you. If she acts defensive, she may just be upset and guilty. So yes, you have the right to get ticked off, and just treat her normally.
Good luck:-) [ mapetiteodette's advice column | Ask mapetiteodette A Question ]
sdog1205 answered Monday May 2 2005, 7:31 pm: No, you have every right to mad about it. I would feel the exact same way. If she does apologize to you tell her how you feel about it but try not to be mean about it. If she's apologizing then she realizes that she was wrong and that she might haver hurt you so just make sure she knows how you feel about it but try to be nice about it. If she doesn't apologize then let her know that you feel that what she did was wrong and rude. Again try not to sound too too mad but make sure that she understands how you feel.
Angelkissedoxox answered Monday May 2 2005, 6:30 pm: Well, if my friend did that to me when we had made a promise to be in the same group together, i would be pretty ticked off..And then when you asked to be in someone elses group and they said no, then they call her over and ask her to be in the group she says yes.. That is kind of rude and mean and i think you have every right to be mad at her. If she does say sorry, just tell her how you feel and how much that hurt and stuff.. just dont yell or anything..it might make things worse.

hitler_the_goat answered Monday May 2 2005, 6:24 pm: nope, your shallow friend ditched you for a group of girls she hardly knows, you certainly have a right to be a little peeved. and yes, you should inform her that you will not tolerate any further horsing around.

do you still need somebody to room with? i'm lonely....... [ hitler_the_goat's advice column | Ask hitler_the_goat A Question ]
mmsladypack40 answered Monday May 2 2005, 6:22 pm: Stuff lke that happens but if you guys are really friends she wouldn't have done that. So out of what your sayin i think u do have the right to be ticked off because a true honest loyal friend wouldn't do that but if she does apoogize you should accept and also say that was rude but in a nice way~lol~ [ mmsladypack40's advice column | Ask mmsladypack40 A Question ]
FunnyCide answered Monday May 2 2005, 6:04 pm: Look, I'm not gonna go and say that you have 'the right' to be ticked off, because you really don't. You should be hurt, offended maybe, but that's not a right. It's a privilege. Tell your friend that it kinda hurt your feelings that she did that, but that you've got another place to stay, so she doesn't have to drop that other group. Yes, it was rude... but think about how you'd react if you were in her shoes. If they asked you to room with them, you'd probably JUMP at the chance, right? ... just think about it from her point of view.
I understand that you're upset, but try and make the best of it. Have fun, hang out, spend time with your other friend (that you're going to room with). Tell your friend politely that you are hurt at what she did by staying with the other girls, but that it's ok. Keep the friendship. Don't get mad. Be polite, sincere, caring and quiet. It will be alright. Have FUN at your graduation trip!
