So tonight my 2 friends and i are hanging out. they said it will be a little party.just a little get together. but i was telling my one friend H that i was going to wear a pin that said birthday girl on it just to be cute. and she said that would be bragging. i said no it won't because everyone has a birthday and i am happy about mine. and my other friend S had a crown on when it was her birthday and it was 1 day before. and H didn't get mad at that.now she is mad at me and i don't want to go now. Do you really think i was bragging? and how can i tell her that it is not bragging? i need help and fast!

Wearing the pin isn't "bragging"... but it might seem (to her) that you're wearing it to get attention. And of course, wearing the pin WILL get you attention... but there's nothing wrong with that. It's your birthday!! Everyone deserves to feel special on their birthday!
It sounds to me like your friend is a little jealous of you. Maybe she feels like you always get more attention than she does. Don't let her get to you. That's her problem, and she'll need to get over it. If you want to wear the pin, go ahead! Have fun! And Happy Birthday! [ Jeanne's advice column | Ask Jeanne A Question ]

My friends always do that stuff just to be cute and it is pretty fun. Tell her that she can do the same thing when she has a birthday. Bragg your heart out it is your b-day not yours just make sure you aren't annoying about it saying it over and over again. [ Cassiopea's advice column | Ask Cassiopea A Question ]

you weren't bragging not at all. however people see things different then how other people see them. just tell your friend that it's your birthday and you want to tell anyone anyway you want. also if your friend still thinks you were bragging then tell her about s and the crown and how she didn't say she was bragging.
