And now I'm not sure who to chose them or to sleep over at my friend's party. plz answer and is this normal what should i do.

Answer 1

You are feeling guilty for choosing your friends over your grandparents? it is perfectly normal.  It shows that  you care about not hurting  people's feelings.  It is a good thing.

If you haven't been making friends maybe your grandparents and parents are happy that you are socializing.

Answer 2

It's normal and I would pick your grandparents cause they won't be there forever and friends can always wait, I mean you have your entire life for friends. Plus your grandparents would be happy that you picked them. I'm sure your friends will understand if you pick your grandparents and if they don't I would really ask myself if they are actually my friends or not. Hope this helped. peace out and Good luck

Answer 3

There's some information missing here, but I assume, since you're living with your grandparents, that your parents are no longer in the picture. So you've already dealt with some separation issues, at an age when most kids are developing a sense of security. It's not unusual for you to get emotional about spending time away from your grandparents.

If your friend is someone you trust, and can confide in, let her know that this makes you a little nervous. A good friend will help you feel better. If you're not comfortable telling her about it, don't go.

You will find that in most life situations, trusting your gut feelings is always best. Missing this sleepover won't be the end of the world.

What you're feeling is perfectly normal. Talk to your grandparents about it, if you can. If not, just know that as time passes, you'll get more and more comfortable being away from them. Don't rush it, What works for you is what's right.

Answer 4

If you're alright with it, you should tell your friends how you're feeling about going to the sleepover. If your friends are the types to not spread something like that around or aren't likely to tease you for it, then they'll definitely understand why you might not come. You're simply feeling kind of homesick and are very attached to your grandparents.

If it's making you this unhappy, you should go ahead and choose your grandparents after explaining it to your friends. OR! Better yet, you could sleepover with your friends and take some time to call them before you have to go to sleep. That way, you get to talk to them (explain to your friends all of the above and all). If you're really uncomfortable with staying the whole night, you could stay for a few hours, then go back to your grandparents' place.

Answer 5

You have the fear of being homesick, it's completely normal to feel like this especially at this age.

Answer 6

You are growing up  don't worry your hormones are in overdrive.

And I think it is a bad idea to post your age on here you can attract a lot of weird o's.

Be careful on line...but do not worry too much about the other stuff, you are young and have so much to look forward to.
