I don't want to go to my friend's graduation because...
Question Posted Thursday May 20 2010, 5:23 pm
My friend is having a small graduation party with some friends for graduating 8th grade (which gives you hint how old we are). She's inviting her boyfriend and his best friend (who is dating my other good friend), of course this didn't surprise me, but the problem is I really hate both of them. I used to date his best friend and he screwed me over, but that's a different story and probably why I don't like them. They are really arrogant and annoying and I really don't like them. And I am really mean to them when I am around them and they are to me. At the end of the night, I usually am really angry and really no fun to be around at all. Then I want weed to make me feel better. I don't enjoy being around them and just get mad so I made a silent pact to myself that whenever they are invited somewhere I won't go.
Does this sound reasonable? I just can't deal with their crap. I also don't like my friend when she's around her boyfriend. There really is no hope of me and those two guys of ever getting along so...

You can also tell her the truth but that may lead to problems with her and her boyfriend and you and the other people that you didn't want. You can let her know that you don't jive with them and leave feeling like crap every single time you get together. Ask her about celebrating together (without them) at a later date.
Those are your options. You can either tell a white lie about needing to be with family to spare you a lot of potential B.S. from her and them or you can flat out tell her that you don't get along with her friends, you always get into fights and would rather celebrate together without anyone else. It's up to you to decide.
Also, tell your parents how you feel about your friend's party and who she has invited and how you don't get along with them. See if they have ideas or solutions better than mine to pull out or endure it. [ solidadvice4teens's advice column | Ask solidadvice4teens A Question ]
