A conflict between two friends.
Hey, I am 13/female. One day during lunch, my friends Rachel and Mandy had an argument. WEll it went like this: Another of my friends Sonia told Mandy to shut up because Mandy said Rachel and another friend Veronica sucked at dancing and singing. She was just joking and I can tell, but I dont think that Sonia realized it. So then Mandy got mad and went to sit by herself. Rachel went by and I didnt go because I was too afraid. I thought she got it all under control, but then me and another friend Carmen went back there and asked her if she wanted to join us. She said no. Then we asked her if she was okay, and she was like no. And then she burst out in tears. \
Afterschool, Rachel sent Mandy an email apologizing at first then the rest was an insult. This got Mandy even madder. What should I do about this?

I'm sorry to say but if I were you I would stay out of it. I'm very positive they will become friends later on, they just need a break from each other. This has happend to me alot, dont worry. Things WILL get better.

Rachel en Mandy had an arguement.
Mandy said Rachel en Veronica sucked at dancing and singing.
Sonia got mad and told Mandy to shut up.
Mandy got mad and Rachel joined her.
My best advice is to keep out of this. People who try to make things right always end up being told to butt out by both parties. Trust me, I know.
However, if you do want to help try and be honest about what you think of the situation. I mean telling someone they 'suck' at something, even as a joke, is really very rude. Sometimes people do not understand that, and telling them that can be experienced as somewhat patronizing.
I dont see how Rachel owes Mandy an apology since Mandy obviously insulted her first.
So, what you got here is Rachel and Sonia pissed at Mandy, and Mandy pissed at Rachel. Not something I would be keen on interfering with.
So bottom line: this is something they will have to work out with eachother. Oh, and try not to pick sides, girls your age usually dont respond well to that.
