ok so me and my friend rachel have been fightin a
lot but everytime it was her fault she would always want me to apologize to her.well my problem is this monday we were doin a group project in my 4th period class.it was all fine until rachel started to try and control everything that was going on.so she yelled at me because i was talking and when she told me i needed to listen to her i told her NO. she got really mad and threw a tantrum and threw a peace of paper which hit me in the head.I haven't talked to rachel since i am just like not friends with her anymore i just told her well im done with all the drama and stuff.my question is was that the right thing to do ?
SophieAldric answered Thursday January 31 2008, 8:18 pm: Yes and no. I think the real question is...do you care about the friendship? If you do then you should have been more open to what you were and weren't comfortable with. People never know what's in your head so you need to tell them if something is bothering you. Also, you should always be patient with this kind of issue. If you don't care about the friendship, then well done. [ SophieAldric's advice column | Ask SophieAldric A Question ]

Even if you were doing something wrong, she could have just asked you nicely to stop talking. Instead, she decided to be loud, obnoxious, and immature by throwing a tantrum like that. If you're friends with someone who keeps on picking fights with you for no apparent reason, it's best to let them go. You have to enjoy your time with friends, not get stressed over them!

A group project is where a group works together. If she doesn't like any of the groups ideas and only wants to do what she wants you to do then she shouldn't be your friend anyways. I think maybe being rude back is showing that you are just like her in some ways. You don't want to act like her. I believe that you did the right thing by telling her she is not the boss of everyone and syaing no when she is not the leader. A way to get around her attitude is to ask everyone in the group if they like the ideas you have come up with and what they think the group should do. If you get everyones opinion and vote on it, she has absolutely no control over majority ruling. [ Advicelady6798's advice column | Ask Advicelady6798 A Question ]

Maybe Rachel is a total bitch, but you need to realize you aren't behaving angelically when you ignore someone in class and are rude to them. It doesn't matter what they did 'first'.
If you and Rachel simply can't be nice to eachother, then yes you did the right thing and shouldn't be friends.
Just don't forget: Just because someone is nasty to your doesn't give you the right to be nasty back. You are only making the drama worse when you can't just take a deep breath and let stuff go. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
