Dear Mr. Know-It-All

My friend is mad at me because she wanted me to go to the mall with her. But I told her that I have to do my homework. Then my friend ran out the room, and she went to the mall with her new friends. That's why she hangs around them all the time.

Sincerely,

Ana

Dear Ana, You and your friend should apologise to each other and try to agree on different things at different times. You can help your friend know when to do homework and when to go to the mall. You and your friend should make a schedule of when to have fun and when to work.

Dear Mr. Know-It-All

My friend is really mad at me, and I don't know why. She said she never wanted to talk to me again. I'm really scared we won't ever talk to each other again. She already has told a bunch of friends that they should never talk to me. I'm afraid that I won't ever have any friends again. What should I do?

Sincerely,

Jessica N.

Dear Jessica, First you should ask your friend why she is mad at you. If she really is your friend she will want to work things out. If she doesn't want to work things out, you need to move on and make better friends who aren't afraid to solve problems or arguments.

Dear Mr. Know-it-all,

My best friend said she was mad at me. She said she would never ever talk to me ever again. I think she is mad because I kissed her boyfriend. It wasn't really my fault. He sort of kissed me first. I really need you to write back.

yours truly,

Monica

Dear Monica, Your friend is probably more angry at her boyfriend than she is at you. You should break up with him if he doesn't have a good explanation. You should apologize to your friend and ask her to forgive you.
