don't want to but kind of have to...


Question Posted Friday December 19 2008, 12:00 am

One of my friends wants myself and 2 other girls to go to a concert this weekend for her birthday. However, there is a Christmas party at one of my mom's friends house that i go to every year the same day as this concert. I did not make a commitment to go to the christmas party but it was kind of a given that I would go considering i go every year. My best friend says she can't go to the concert without me because she has a curefew and would have no where to stay after if I didn't go ( the plan was to let all the girls stay at my house if I decide to go). I don't have a big interest in going to the concert however i feel the need to go now because if i don't go, my best friend will not be allowed to go and they all need a place to stay. I know i will not have a good time.. i'm just in one of those depressed moods i guess. Any advice on how to make it fun? I have not even heard of the band or the bands playing with the main one.

I would just go ahead and go to the Christmas party. You will have more fun and you won't have to spend money on a concert you really don't want to be at. Just tell your friends that you would rather do that and you are really sorry. If you don't want to say that, tell them your not feeling well, your parents won't let you have them over, etc. I would go to the party where i know i would have more fun. Hope this helps!

I know its hard, but if you truely feel you will not have fun, why buy the tickets? You need to have a serious conversation with your friend. You can tell her that as much as you want to help her out with the concert, you can't because it would be wrong for you to miss the party. You go every year as a tradition, and it's a nice thing to do to spend time with your friends and family. If the party and concert work out with timing, you can always ask your friend to take a taxi with her friend to your house after the concert, and you can all stay at ur house afterwards. This way you get to go to your party and they go to their concert. Also, talk to your mom about it if you can, what does she feel about the situation? It might make her feel a little left out that your not going to be there. You will have the most fun doing what you want to do. And sometimes you have to think, would your friend do the same for you if you were in her shoes? <serious question :-) > ask your friend if she could get a ride to her other friends house for the night instead. Good luck!!! please let me know how this works out :-) and if there is anything else I can help you out with, then let me know, I'm happy to help! Happy holidays <3
