alright i already asked this but I left out some important info...new info is in caps lock...
A couple of weeks ago I was invited to go to the NJ shore with one of my best friends, Sam. I was very excited...each of her siblings is bringing a friend, and she chose me to go for the week with her & her family! Just today, however, she called me and was like "I just found out Catherine is coming too, is that all right?" Obviously I said yes...I wasn't going to be rude & tell her no. However Catherine is Sam's friend (their families are good friends too) and she does not go to my school. I have met her before, & she is very nice, but I really don't know her well. To be honest, I am not sure that I am so psyched to go anymore, because she is going to have Catherine there too. I know it sounds mean, & I have nothing against Catherine, but it just seemed rude that Sam never mentioned she would be there before. I BELIEVE SAM'S MOM INVITED CATHERINE'S WHOLE FAMILY, WHICH IS WHY I AM UNCOMFORTABLE. HER PARENTS ARE SORT OF "WILD" THEY DRINK A LOT AND ARE BASICALLY PARTY ANIMALS. THIS MAKES BOTH ME & MY MOM UNCOMFOTABLE. ALSO, MY DRIVING TEST IS SOON, AND I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PRACTICE FOR THE WHOLE WEEK IF I GO. ALSO, MY SISTER & COUSINS ARE GOING FOR A FEW DAYS TO MY GRANDPARENTS HOUSE, WHICH I WOULD MISS OUT ON. I honestly don't know if I want to go anymore...I mean I am sure it would still be fun but it is just not the same. Do you think it is silly for me to be upset? Should I just go, or should I decline? I do have reasons (as noted above -more than one) of why it might not be the best idea to go, but I would also feel like sam would be upset if I didn't go. What should I do, and how do I talk to her (either way i need to talk to her).

You could make a new friend and see some new stuff. If you don't get along with that other girl than you don't get along. You don't have to be BEST buddies. You just have to be nice to her for the week then you can forget about it. If you don't want to go anymore due to the drinking tell your friend you really want to go see yuor grandmother and you have to practcie for your drivers test. Just be really nice about it though. And wish her a good time. Happy typing! [ alwaysthere's advice column | Ask alwaysthere A Question ]

ARii1433 answered Sunday August 7 2005, 3:14 pm: Compromise with her. Tell her why you feel uncomfortable going, and what you would miss out on if you went w/ her. Maybe instead of going the whole week, you could go for only a few days. This way you could still practice for drivers test and go to your grandparents house, and you wouldn't let Sam down. Also, you would spend less days with Catherine, and if Sam knows you're only going to be with her for a FEW days, she might wanna spend even more time with you, which is a plus. GO0D LUCK!!!
