Friendship Fixers!! Ariana Kerman and Nelly Atsmon
By:
We are the friendship fixers! We are here to help with any friendship problems. Have you had an argument with your friend maybe? We can help with that! Just tell us the situation! Don’t be embarrassed about this; We all have an argument with our friend once in a while! Problem 1: “I have been bullied”. Bullying happens a lot, whether small or big it is a common problem, but that doesn’t mean you should pretend to not care. Don’t be afraid to stick up to this person, and tell them that they are not being very nice. The reason that bullies bully you, is because they are jealous or are having a really bad time and are expressing their anger out on you. I think it is really good that you’re telling us this, but have you told a teacher or a parent? Just be yourself and don’t make bullies change your personality! Problem 2: “My friend is ignoring me for unknown reasons and keeps whispering about me. It’s getting really annoying.” First of all, Find out why. It might not work asking them because they are ignoring you but think hard, have you ever done anything wrong to them ? Maybe you said something wrong, ignored them once or hurt their feelings. If you can’t think of anything maybe they’re just trying to annoy you, and it’s working. Try to let it go, ignore it, and don’t get annoyed. Eventually the person will stop and realise there’s no point. You could tell a teacher or guardian.
Problem 3: “My friend always laughs at me when I lose a table tennis match.” Every one of us has been laughed at before, and none of us like it. When a friend laughs at you it is either because they are trying to be funny or are just jealous. When people are jealous they tend to laugh so that it looks like they don’t really care. Friends shouldn’t be laughing at you though so first of all, do not laugh back at them if they lose a match. Just because they do it, doesn’t mean that you should. Let me get to the point; Don’t pay any attention to your friend when he/she laughs, but if it really starts bothering you, you could tell a teacher or guardian, and try to tell this person how you’re feeling.
