I made the team!! But my friend didnt and I feel TERRIBLE :(...?

Question

Me and my friend are in 8th grade and we tried SO HARD this summer and practiced together all the time to make JV soccer this season. We just got the results and I made it and she didnt. She was crying and I really dont even like JV because without her it is absolutely no fun. I miss her and feel bad about making it, Any advice? :( thanks for any help you can give

Answer 1

do you really like this sport and just thought that it would never be fun just because she's not with you?

that's not the point! your friend should be happy for you, and cheer your friend up because God has many plans for her and not just for soccer!

but if your really want to be with her, go on, give up the opportunity where you shed tears and sweat, just to come in!

well, if that's what you really think, is she your only friend? besides, you could meet at other places! in school, house, park, et cetera!

Answer 2

Congrats you are a good friend

Answer 3

That reminds me last year when I was in 7th grade I tried out with my best friend for the school dance team. But it was different she made it and I didn't. I felt aweful I cried and everything. But at the end I was happy she made it even though I didn't make it. It helped me to know that my best friend was doing good. Also she said sorry you didn't make it and stuff and it was nice but later everyone said sorry and it only made me even mader so confort her but don't do it over the top.  

Answer 4

Your friend is just upset that she didn't make the team, she's not upset that you made the team. The both of you practiced really hard, you made the team, she didn't. You shouldn't let your practice go to waste. Give it time, eventually your friend will get over it and she will be happy for you. But don't quit, give JV a chance, you might end up liking it more than you think.

Answer 5

maybe you could give it a chance if you you really don't enjoy it you could drop out. I hate to see you miss out on something really fun  

Answer 6

you are better than her.  simple as that.  if you want to go pro in your sport, you are going to leave some people behind on the way.  It's not your fault.  IF you can't handel this, quit now.  They might need someone who is "little" bit more serious about the sport.

Answer 7

Well dont give up on JV. Spend alot of time with your friend and mabey you could  do something in school that you could do together.

Answer 8

don't stress it, just enjoy your time that you made it :]. your friend's upset that she didn't make it, but she's not upset about you, she's probably happy that u made it because the whole reason why you guys practiced together was to hope that one or both of you will make JV. eventually, your friend will come over it and realize how at least all that hard work helped for you. try spending time with her more often when  you have time,  and don't think it won't be fun just without her. do your best because it will make her happy to see that you are doing well instead of you not wanting to be there because it will just make her more disappointed. make new friends, and actually share your experiences with her. your friend would definitely love to hear about JV soccer and maybe invite her to some of your games? hope i helped :D

Answer 9

you did good she didn't do as good. its not your fault so don't feel guilty. Offer to work out with her if she wasn't fast or practice with her if that's what she needed. Next year you both could make the team.  

Answer 10

If you never wanted to do it unless she made it, don't try out! Remember that your not always going to make it and neither will your friends. Don't quit, because you've already made a commitment to your teammates, so consider this as a lesson and remember this next year. So next year, do something that you and your friend will both like whether you or your friend make it or not! Hope I helped and good luck!  

Answer 11

If it is something that you enjoy doing don't quite... I am sure she is glad for your.
