I live with my grandparents. My friend and I have been friends since kindergarten. Well I promised her that I would go to summer school. But Then my grandpa died. My friend is like a part of the family my whole family knows her so it affected her too. Well when summer school came she asked me if I was going but I told her that I'm not going to summer school because then my grandma would be alone. She was like " But you promised!" Then she hung up. This was like a couple days ago. We just got over a fight too. Now every time I call she won't pick up and I leave messages but she still wont call. How do I get her to at least talk to me?

CuPcAkEqUeEn answered Tuesday June 15 2010, 6:38 pm: your friend is probably just a little bit upset. give her time to cool off. invite your friend over bake something for her. be persistent but not annoying. you could also try writing her letters and leaving them in her mailbox. do things to let your friend no that your sorry about summer school and that you want to make it up anyway you can. if you guys have been friends for that long trust me she'll come around.
confuzzled89 answered Monday June 7 2010, 2:29 pm: Give her some space. she is probably getting annoyed by all of the phone calls. Give a week or two and let her cool down. After that time try to comunicate with her without your voise, like send her an email, letter, message on facebook, or something else like that but make sure that u STAY CALM when you write them! Give it a little time and she should come to you, if she doesnt then call her after about two weeks after sending the message. Hope i helped. GOoD LUCK!

She's probably just a little upset that she's going to be going to summer school without you, maybe a little nervous? She's also upset over your grandpa passing away.. She just doesn't know how to deal with it.
Just give her time, leave her alone, let her know that you are there to talk when she's ready to talk to you..Things will get better in time.
sally91 answered Sunday June 6 2010, 9:32 pm: of corse she cares, everyone has a different way of dealing with death and this may be her way to deal with it. she is probably finding it hard and thought that you two going away to summer camp together was her get away, her chance to try and forget or get over what has happened. and to do this with someone who is feeling the same way as her. she is probably upset with you because she feels like she is going away to summer camp to deal with it on her own.
i think you have chosen the write thing by staying by your grandma, she is family and she needs you at a time like this. i know that your friend needs you too at a time like this and its always hard to chose the right thing to do but my advice is that family comes first.
its clear that they both need you but you really need to go and talk face to face with your friend and explain to her why you have chosen to stay with your grandma, she will understand and maybe you two can spend some quality time together before she goes away to summer camp and you guys can write and call each other while she is away.
sunshine1232 answered Sunday June 6 2010, 6:50 pm: Yes i do think she cares i think you just caught her off guard with your news and you told her unexpectly she probably wasn't expecting you to say
what you did she's got to realize that there was a death in your family and even though you promised her you'd be going to summer school your grandpa's
death was your first priority give her some space
and wait she may call on her own without you having
to constantly call you don't want to start to become
annoying if you do happen to call and one of her family members answers the phone you could pass a message along to your friend that's a possiblity
that could work if she still doesn't call in the next few days then you try calling her i don't she
could hold a grudge aganist you forever she's got to
forgive you sometime(: [ sunshine1232's advice column | Ask sunshine1232 A Question ]
malsaysrawr answered Sunday June 6 2010, 6:05 pm: Let her cool down and disconnect contanct with her. Don't try to call for awhile, and she should come around.
It's sad that she's not being understanding about your decision. When she does talk to you, I would bring up the fact that things change things that we cant control. [ malsaysrawr's advice column | Ask malsaysrawr A Question ]
