Hey. I'm thirteen/female and my friend Jill invited me to go to her birthday party. I moved away from the town she lives in when I was in fourth grade, but I go to these parties every year. See, this year, I want to go, and see all my old friends, but I'm nervous about meeting the new people Jill has become friends with. What should I do? And it's a sleepover party, and calling to go home at a sleepover would be kinda, idk, just like, not our age type thing to do. Should I go and see if I have a good time [ I usually do], or not go and save myself possible nervousness?
If you decide not to go: make sure you get her a present. It could be just a giftcard, but maybe send like a fun sleepover package in the mail with like a movie, popcorn, candy, and a magazine. That would be an amazing present, and show that you really wanted to go.
SoccerCutiex3 answered Sunday April 1 2007, 9:15 am: GO AND HAVE FUN!! =] trust me my absolute best friend moved like 2 years ago, and her way of tellingus was a note and on the way home from school the last day i was balling. anyway, i know what thats like, and i didn't want to meet her friends either, because all she talked about was this one girl Jenna. So what i did was i tried talking to my old best friends friends, and i really did like them. I dont talk to them much but at least i got to meet them
my advice is to go to the party. worst casinerio you don't like her friends, but its worth a shot. the same type of people are attracted to the other same type of people..personality wise. so if she found you, she probably found people that you might like. go and have fun!
hope i helped, and let me know what you decide to do!

i met my friend at this summer camp we went to, and she invited me to her sleepover birthday party with a bunch of people i didnt know
what i did was, i didnt intrude too much on their conversations, since i didnt know them, i sat on the side and talked a little bit
it may not sound like good advice, but it would be kind of weird if you asked her new friends what they were talking about whenever they opened their mouths
and for the sleepover part, it wasnt really a problem for me, because i got to know the girls a little and it was pretty much fine
and if you seriously have to call home, try and explain to your friend that you feel really weird being there, and if she doesnt believe you, maybe try telling her that you have this huge project due in the next couple of days that you forgot about
nadine204 answered Saturday March 31 2007, 3:17 pm: i think you should go to the party and tell your friend jill you MIGHT not be able to stay because you have to go somewhere the next day very early in the morning or some excuse. then when you get there and if you find yourself making friends or having fun call your mom and tell her that your sleeping there because then you wouldnt feel left out. But if you dont enjoy yourself at the party just call your mom or dad or whoever to take you home and tell jill that yyour sorry but your mom/dad/guardian is making you go.

if you start to feel bad, about 30 minutes before you plan on saying something start acting a little bit tired or say that you have a headache, stomach ache, sore throat, or something like that. then after about 20-30 minutes, say that you don't feel good & you think you should go home.
before you leave no matter what excuse you use, make sure to say something like, "I'm really sorry I couldn't have stayed & I wish I could have, but thanks for inviting me. I'll just see you later I guess. Oh and happy birthday." [ xY0M0MMAx's advice column | Ask xY0M0MMAx A Question ]

i think you should go to jill's party, but not sleepover. i mean, think about it. imagine going and realizing that you dont like the girls and they are mean to you. and then think, "now i have to have a sleepover with them." tell her beforehand you can't sleepover. that way, you wont feel embarassed calling your parents to pick you up :]
by not sleeping over, you still attend the party without being rude & not being subjected to disrespectfulness [ if thats a word :P ].
you will probably have a good time & meet some new people. dont be nervous. you could always sleepover but you might feel sad at the end & feel like you didn't have a good time. & you could always not go. but i guarantee you will probably regret it cause everyone will say it was so much fun afterwards.
volleyball_chik_0914 answered Saturday March 31 2007, 2:19 pm: Go to the party. If you feel nervous just talk to your friend Jill. Im sure she'll understand, but still go.Have a good time, life's to short to layback. In the end, if you don't go, you might end up feeling really guilty for letting Jill down.
