Friends and Enemies:
“My friend is mad at me.”
Hey Terra,
I'm really confused. I made my friend mad because I waited too long to call her. I really had no intention of hurting her. I've tried to call her and apologize, but she doesn't pick up. I've got to work this out, if I don't I'll never get over it. Please help.Sorry Guy
Dear Sorry Guy,
She'll get over it or she's not much of a friend.
My suggestion is that you give her a day or so to cool off and then apologize one more time. You made a mistake. You're sorry. You will try to be more thoughtful in the future. That ought to do it. You shouldn't have to beg a friend to forgive you, right? It's not like you committed murder.
Good luck and let me know what happens.
In friendship,
Terra
