Sometimes
you can drift apart from your friends. Your mate moves to a
different school or town, and it's hard to keep in touch.
Other times, you and your friends
may fall out in a big way. Everyone has rows with their
friends, and usually you make it up again soon. But sometimes
the rows are more serious; maybe your friend has been nasty, or
gossiped about you, maybe you've let them down or something
you said came out wrong.
Whatever the reason, sometimes
friends have serious arguments. These can feel terrible.
People who were part of your life, whom you relied on, are suddenly
not there. And worse, they might be angry and hostile when you
bump into them (as you probably will).
What can you do?
- Even if the other is in
the wrong maybe you should make the first move to make
up. If you both wait to make the first move, you
could be waiting a long time.
|
- Don't ask other friends to take sides. But you
should talk to someone about it - maybe you could let off
steam to a friend who isn't involved at all.
|
- Sometimes it might be hard to talk face to face.
What about writing them a note, not just putting your own
point of view, but saying that you hope you can sort
things out.

- If all else fails, give it
some time, and perhaps you'll both come round.
