WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

with contributions from Brynn, Dianna, Bronte, Ellery, Josh, Tyler

My friends do this all the time. I don't like it at all. But when it happens, I just pray to God knowing everything will be all right. After a day or two, my friends will come to me and say they're sorry. Other times when I pray, I will go up to them and say, "I don't know why you're mad. Could you please tell me, so I can fix it?" And they just say sorry again. And even if this doesn't happen right away, I know that everything will be all right, because God is guiding us all!

I also had the same problem. You just have to realize that you deserve to have great friends and be surrounded by wonderful people. Try to remember that God is their Father-Mother, too, and that they cannot be separated from God. Neither can you. And just because they may not make great friends for you, they are still good people. And maybe they will be good friends to somebody that is more like they are. That's what I realized one time. And I learned that I needed to be my own friend before I could make friends that wanted to be true friends to me. But remember, things happen when you least expect them, and God made us to be a true friend to each other. :)
