best friend


Question Posted Sunday February 12 2006, 10:31 pm

Well my x bestfriend bobby, we have been friends for more then years
before we were in 1st grade, now were both in 10 grade high school.
Well it was just me him his brother and Trevor my other xbestfriend he
was are friend at 6 th grade, so me and bobby were the first. (and his
brother Thad) Well last year me and bobby both got a guitar, so we
started to talk to two kids (Vinnie and Vito) because they are great
at guitar and we wanted lessons, so before we know it we hang out with
them evey day. were having fun its been like six mouths, so were good
friends. well Vinnie and Trevor always beat on bobby, and we were all
throwing empty waterbottes at everyones, them we stoped. Bobby likes
to sing so he started to sing, so i picked up a waterbotte and i throw
it at him now hard. Vito right after throw it at his face. So the next
day everyone hates me because of that. That was six mouths ago. I
started to talk to bobby only on the phone, but only like every two
weeks. Now i don't have any one to hang out with. I was one of the
only people he trusted. SO PLEASE TELL ME WHAT I HAVE TO DO SO WE CAN
BE FRIENDS AGIAN!!!!! Or help me to stop thinking about him.

Dear oh dear, boys will be boys. It's a little tricky for me to answer this question, as I'm generally much better on female friendships than on male, but since you've dropped it in my inbox I'll give it my best shot....

To start off, I don't think it matters all that much who's best friends (or even ex best friends) with who-the point is that or some reason you were scapegoated, made to take responsiblity for an unfortunate situation that was only partially your fault. That said, if you were really one of the only people Bobby trusted , then your behavior was the worse, since it was more of a betrayal than it was for Vito. I'm not trying to make you feel guilty-this ganging up and teasing the most vulnerable member of a group is all too common, and occurs every bit as frequently with girls as it does with boys. I think that it's really good that you want to be friends with Bobby again-no you should not stop thinking about him, that would be very sad. Actually, it seems to me that you're going in the right direction with Bobby-even once only two weeks is something, and you should gradually but steadily increase the number of times you call. Remember that you hurt him(however unintentionally) and it will take time to regain his trust. Time well spent. As for having been dropped by the group, well my friend that's just the unfairness of life, and the sooner you realise it the better for you. But if you can salvage your friendship with Bobby, then both of you will emerge stonger people from this whole sorry situation.

The best of luck, and drop me a line for more advice or just to let me know how it all went.
