Hi hunny,
If you know it was a joke, then I would forgive her. Now if she embaressed you or something similar to that, I think you should talk to her and tell her how that was wrong to do, and that you really didn't like it or it made you feel bad. Then you should forgive her. I hope I helped. x3

Do some things to get the anger out like yelling at your house or pounding your pillows then , the next day, call her up and ask her why she played that joke and if she apologizes then tell her that you feel bad about ignoring her and that you forgive her {if you do}.

you gotta be a little more specific... but if she tried to apologize to you than she must be sorry... give ur self some time to cool off... & if she tries to talk to you again just tell her... " I'm not ready to talk to you... when i am i will let you know "

you should tell her that even though it was joke that you didnt like it and some people take things more seriously then the other and she needs to not joke with you anymore..

You should talk to her FACE TO FACE and tell her, 'You know what, I'm really sorry. I took that joke way to seriously. I don't want us to be on bad terms, because your a really good friend of mine and I want us to be friends forever! or something like that. Apologize, and tell her how you feel.

Well it depends on what the prank was. If it was a bad prank then prank them back. If it wasnt so bad say "sorry i took it the wrong way."

I think it is admirable that you are willing to admit that you overreacted. We have all done this. Don’t beat yourself up over it. That is part of why you are still mad. You are mad at yourself too. First of all I want you to understand that I’m not going to tell you to apologize. What I am saying you should do is call her up and recognize that you may have overreacted. This is how this would look. When you get your friend on the phone you will explain how the trick took you off guard and it was an instinctual reaction. You didn’t mean to come off that harshly but you also didn’t appreciate her joke. It hurt your feelings. Tell her you still care about her as a friend and would appreciate it if she wouldn’t pull this type of stunt on you anymore. More than likely you won’t be able to get all of that out because she’ll be apologizing all over the place.

Good Luck!

I think that she knows that you are mad and it will take some time for you to get over it. Just be like i am sorry that i blew up even though you should have and tell her that she shouldnt do that to you again. Ask her politely not to play jokes on you. And if she would have done it to someone else would you have laughed or said tghe same thing. Its diff. when the joke is on you but if it is on someone else people think it is funny but there is nothing wrong with that. Or you could call her and just talk to her about it like two people having a normal conversation

Hey &hearts;
You can't tell her that you're sorry for yelling, because she was wrong in the first place to play a joke on you. You don't need to apologize for anything, you were just doing what you thought was right. You need to wait it out a little longer until you're not mad anymore & then talk to her. But, as for now - just keep ignoring her, until she atleast apologizes.

Call her up. Say, look I'm sorry. I shouldn't have taken it so seriously. I hope you can forgive me. She probably will!
