Am I a bad friend? I feel like I am... ?

Question

One of my closest friends that I've known the longest is making me question that.

We're going to be seniors in high school, and when it comes to classes, I'll be the first to admit that I'm not completely reliable. We've had two classes where I had to switch out. The first time was in Grade 10, because a teacher guilted me into taking his class (I was too scared to say no, and I didn't have a valid reason). The second time was my fault. I felt that I didn't need that course, and wanted to take a course for university.

This friend is telling one of her close guy friends (I don't like him at all because he used to insult me, but they're really good friends) about these situations, and saying that she doesn't have to listen to me anymore because I ditched her. I know that's true, and she can switch out of the classes that we have together this year (that's what she's telling this guy), but the way she's going about it make me seem like I intentionally left her.

Am I a bad friend? And what can I do to fix this?

Answer 1

ur not a bad friend n she needs 2 get over herself its not all bout her sry 2 b rude but hey u have 2 do ur own thing every now n then n u did wat u thought waz best 4 u u can't help if shes upset over that if she can't except that u did it 4 a gud reason then shes not a true friend

Answer 2

No way girl, I kinda have the same problem. I'm going to be a sophomore but really want to get into a good college, so I'm taking a lot of honors and AP classes. None of my friends really care much and used to be mad, but now they just laugh and tease me that I'm a nerd. But their just joking. Tell your friend to chill jeez! Your not doing anything wrong at all.

oh my god dear not at all. you didnt feel that you needed that class. you should stay in a classs that you dont need just because your friend wants you to its your future and you need to do what you you need to do to get ahead. If anything shes being immature about the whole thing and she should probally grow up.

Answer 4

your friend is being a sook. and you shouldn't feel bad for not wanting to be in a certain class.

I was in the majority of my classes without my close friends in senior years - this is going back a while now.

Come to think of it i didn't really have any close friends in ANY of my classes lol.

She is a bit dependant on you. You will still get to see each other in breaks and well to be honest school is for learning and not socialising.

You didn't ditch her either. Tell her that you are doing what you want to do while at school and she should do the same. you guys can gossip and what not at breaks

Answer 5

switching classes is not ditching her.  just because ur friend is in a class doesnt mean that u have to be.  she sounds a bit immature.
