Carpool Problem!


Question Posted Saturday August 4 2007, 4:52 am

my best friend lives across the street and we have carpooled to school every day since kindergarten. now we're in middle school and we're allowed to get to school an hour early if we want, to hang out in the cafeteria and talk to friends. I love doing that, but my friend isn't very sociable and she refuses to go early. Our moms are fine with driving us separately, but my friend is all mad at me now for "breaking the tradition" and not riding to school together. but going early is like the only chance we get in school to hang out with friends. what should i do?

[ Answer this question ]

Additional info, added Saturday August 4 2007, 2:49 pm:
i should add that my friend will never ever go early, even a little bit early. she wants to get there right when school starts and she wants me to go with her then..

She has no reason to be mad then. It's not your fault that she isn't sociable. If she doesn't ever want to go in early, she can get a ride from her mom. Explain to her why you want to go in school early, and give her that "its the only chance in school you get to hangout w/ friends" line, and if she still doesn't want to, then too bad. Tell her you're sorry but it's something you want to do. If she doesn't change her mind, oh well. She might change it as school starts and she meets new people, you never know.

but do what you want, not what your friend wants you to do :]

You could intoduce her to some of your other friend to make her like them more and become more sociable and will like to come with you to school early. If that dose not work then maybe you should take turns on going early to school so somedays you could go to school with you and others not.

Compromise. Go early every other day...that way you both still get to car pool, and sometimes you go early and sometimes you don't.

Good Luck

just tell her that the only time you get to hang out with friends during school is before school, so you really want to go early.

tell her maybe you could compromise and only get there like 30 mins early together, and tell her that she doesnt have to be shy and she should go and talk to people and its a good way to meet new friends.

then if she tries going like 30 mins early she might meet new people and might want to extend the time to an hour earlier.=]

Go a half an hour earlier or maybe 15 min early. Get her used to the whole 'soical' thing. Then as school goes on she will become more open to leaving earlier. If you have to don't go early for a few days. Then go 10min early, then 15 then 30....
Hope i helped...
THanks
