how do i explain why i got my friend in trouble?


Question Posted Thursday October 19 2006, 1:26 pm

ok long story short; ive been skipping school this whole week, so me and my friend havn't been able to do this group project that's due tomorrow, yeah i know.. not good. now im really not in the mood to see her, and she's calling me everywhere and calling all my friends,, because she's probably freaking out cause we need to do the project. well im not going anyways tomorrow, and i know this i wrong, and i know im a bad friend.. bad student and everything.. but there's just so much going on you know? ugh, she'll probably badmouth me and make me look bad infront of our teachers and cassmates and stuff since i kinda stood her up.. or left her hanging or whatever.. SOOO, i need a GREAT excuse. What's the reason for not being in school (ive been saying sick to my teachers) and not answering her phonecalls, hanging up.. so on,

IS THERE even any good excuse? thanks.

i understand what i've done is wrong but seriously.. i cant take it right now, i cant deal with it, ive got too much going on, so all i need is to get through this week, so next week i can deal with all that ive messed up this week..including this thing.. so i was basically just asking to see if there's anything to say AFTER all this, next week..you know? i understand what ya'll mean, and im gonna explain to her and the teachers that i coudlnt do any wor because so much was going on.. so thats not what im asking.. my question was more or less IS THERE ANY EXCUSE FOR NOT ANSWERING HER CALLS, cause she'll be like "fine, you had a bad week..but why were you avoiding my calls?" THAT's what I need an excuse for!!.

Alright, I can tell you that you will only make your case worse if you lie about it. I would meet with your friend, and explain it to her that you've just got some stuff going on. Apoligize to her and just whatever you do, don't lie to her. Try to meet up if you have time and do the project.
Good luck.

I think you're excuse is, "I'm a heartless bitch who went through the effort of skipping school for an entire week, dodging your calls and laying low instead of just finishing the project."

You really don't have anything to stand on. If you lose her as a friend it's probably what you deserve.

No excuses.

The same thing has happened to me, with my friend/group member ditching me, and I was so pissed off with her that when she came to me with excuses, I bitched her out and never forgave her.

Go to her and apologize. Get as much work done as you can before-hand, then call her up and tell her that you've been a total jerk and you realize you've screwed her over, but you've got some work done.

Excuses don't do any good in situations like this.

This is why group work can be a problem... you have to recognize that you have a responsibility in a situation like this, and that you have to be available to do work, regardless of what you feel like doing. Otherwise the other person gets screwed over, and their mark is lower. That can be really aggravating to a person who is aiming towards post-secondary education.

Also, don't get into a bad habit like skipping school at this age. It screws you over for college or university, when nobody is going to tell you to go to class.
