THINK ABOUT IT
Presentation
Dear Lost Girl,
Many people have had the same experience as you. Sometimes it's pretty hard to tell what's wrong in a friendship. Try writing to your friend or you can ask another friend for help. If neither of these things works, just leave your friend alone. She may need some time to cool down and think about the situation herself.
If you figure out what the problem is, think about it. Did you really hurt your friend?If yes, go directly to her and say sorry. Maybe it was just a
big misunderstanding.
If your friend wants to end the friendship, there's nothing you can do about it. Both of you can move on and find new friends. But even if you're not friends anymore, you should still be friendly. Say hi to her when you pass her at school. Maybe one day she will realize what a good friend you are.
