i need answers!

[giggles!]

My Best friend and I just fell out over a magazine. I borrowed it without asking her permission, I really didn't think she'd mind because she's given me mags before, but this morning she phoned me and told me she doesn't want a "theif" for a friend. I think she's over reacting, but I want to stay friends. What should I do? Please write quickly cause I need to sort this out.

Explain to her that you never mean't for her to get so upset. Try and talk to her face to face and rationally. tell her what you told us. hopefully your relationship is strong enough to get over this. hav you borrowed things without asking before? it sounds a bit harsh to call you a thief for borrowing a magazine.

Give the magazine back by hand and joke about not being such a baby.

She sounds like a right mentalist. Give it back to her, but sneak in as many snide remarks about it as possible. Accuse her of being in love with someone repulsive in the magazine. Never let this go.

I don't think a really good friend who truly cares about you would call you a thief about something so petty. If you think she's still worth bothering about, it could be that something else is worrying her & she's blown up about the magazine because she was feeling bad already. If it was me (and I thought the friendship was worth fighting for) I'd check that she wasn't mad at me for other things...and then ask if there's anything else wrong. Maybe even go round in person with the magazine, and see if there's other stuff on her mind making her over react. You seem to feel that she's a good friend, so she might need you..sometimes people push other folks away just when they need their support the most.

If she won't listen to you, write her a letter explaining that you are really sorry, but you didn't think she would mind if you 'borrowed' her magazine, especially if you were such good friends. If she accepts your apology - fine, if she doesn't, then she was never really a true friend in the first place. Hope all turns out well for you.

Sounds to me like it is her 'special time'! Wait for her menstruation to finnish THEN go round and see her.

[smudge]

Very wise Philtaz!

Yes, I phoned her she did have other things on her mind and took it out on me. We're back friends now and she seems genuinly sorry for being so mean. Thanks for all the advice everyone, it really helped!

[smudge]

Brilliant news & I'm really happy for you Zita. It was obviously playing on your mind. Sweet dreams!

How old are you? It sounds to me that you and your friend are quite young to be arguing over a magazine.

Casey,I am 14, and I really don't know what came over my friend when she accused me since she's usually quite mature. I hope you don't think we're complete babies because that arguement was totally a once off. Thanks Smudge!!
