My friend is mad at me. We are both thirteen. And we are both girls. She has been calling me names. I keep telling her that she's acting like a five-year-old. And every time I email her she keeps saying I'm acting dumb and weird... and up until now she's stopped talking to me. What should I do?

If she really cares then she will stop if not then just don't be friends with her anymore [ dumbblonde's advice column | Ask dumbblonde A Question ]

xshelbyyyy answered Thursday July 20 2006, 1:24 pm: The girl that said you should just ditch her is wrong. I don't know exactly what happend but just call her and say "I'm sorry for everything that happend and I really want to be friends again I miss us getting along." That normally helps. Things may be a little shaky as your building your friendship back up but at least your not fighting. However, if she refuses to accept your apology, theres not alot you can do but wait for her to cool off. But don't just up and ditch her if you can try and work things out. :]
GOODLUCK!

Even if you don't think you did anything wrong, apologize.
I've found that saying something like, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.", can really smooth a lot of things over.
Once you've told her that you're sorry for what happened, the onus is on her to rebuild your relationship. If she chooses not to, then you can go away knowing that you did the best you could and the right thing. [ elipongo's advice column | Ask elipongo A Question ]

Talking to her on the phone or in person may help the situation better. explain to her why you feel the way you do and let her explain her feelings to you. the two of you may need some time apart from eachother.
xFeelxthexPanicx answered Thursday July 20 2006, 12:34 pm: I think that if she's doing stupid stuff like that then you shouldn't be friends with her.
I mean, she's the one being immature.
You're probably right, she probably is acting like a five year-old.
Just ignore her, if she wants to be your friend let her come to you.
Don't push her.
That wont get you anywhere.
Just hang out with the other people you know and give it time.
If you're meant to be friends it'll work itself out.

FrEe2bMe answered Thursday July 20 2006, 12:12 pm: It's common for girls to get in fights with each other. Pretty much every relationship you ever have with someone, you'll have a few fights here and there. The name calling is really childish. And even though you aren't calling her names, telling her she is actuling like a five year old is pretty much the same thing. I think (hard as it may be) just try to be the bigger person and write her like a final email or call--so to speak. Just tell her that you don't want to fight anymore, you value y'alls friendship, and you want to put this past you. She may not respond right away. Or if she does it could be just with something kind of rude or immature. That's okay. Wait it out. Give him time to come around. She will most likely. In your email or at the end of the call, just tell her that you understand if she's mad at you, but when she's ready to come around, you'll be there. :) [ FrEe2bMe's advice column | Ask FrEe2bMe A Question ]
