What should I do? Situation makes me look bad?

Question

I'm feeling ill at the moment and I've arranged to meet my pals at the mall in a couple of days.

The thing is that on top of feeling ill, I don't have any money cuz I lost an item worth $50 at school and I have to buy a new one (my mom made me) so I can't go with them anytime soon (a month at least). This will make the situation worse, and they may think I DEFINATELY don't want to be their friend, and that I'm trying to avoid them and not hang out with them!

What should I do?? What can I do??

Answer 1

just go with them and dont buy nothing

oh ok then try to explain your situation to them they will understand if there real friends

Answer 2

have them come over to your house to hang out

if they are your friends, they will understand your sick.

Answer 3

Just tell your friends what's going on. If they are your "true" friends, they'll accept it and move on. Just wait until you have the money and when you're feeling better. And don't go the mall when you are sick! The mall is filled with many people a day, they'll be all sorts of germs to make you sick! Anyways, just explain to them. Call them, and say I'm not feeling well and I don't have any money to buy anything. I'll call you when I can hang out. For now, we can talk on the phone! Just be yourself, and they'll hopefully understand! I hope I have helped and have a great day! :)

i see... friends... that is the magic word. you dont have to be afraid.. this it the time that you are gonna test your friendship..

try telling them your situation.. dont be embarrassed just be honest about your situation and be yourself..

if they would understand and will not judge you, then congratulations, you've got REAL friends..

and if it is the other way around.. hmmmm, i guess, you have to lie low on them for they are not friend for keeps...  why? because with just simple situation and with a very valid reason, they wouldn't try to understand.. c",)

Answer 5

If they are really friends,they will understand your situation.

Answer 6

I would tell them the deal, that way no one is left in the dark about what is going on.And you want look so bad

Answer 7

dont sweat it stuff like this happens all the time, if you are sick dont go and tell them you want to go but you feel like a sick dog lol they arent going to be like oh he is lying he dont wanna hang that is dumb and if you are feeling better but you have no money to go ask them to pick you up and spot you the movie ticket until you get paid, its no big deal so dont make it one if they say no then say you cant go but that they should holla at you the next time. Be honest with them and let them know you wanna hang also remember that when you hang out with folks you dont HAVE TO SPEND MONEY, go to the park with them and play basketball or football or anything have them come to your house and watch a movie with you or play cards, make yourself available to them to hang out with and invite them to do stuff that dont cost money

Answer 8

Know how you feel, you are not alone. Tell your friends your money situation it's not like you wanted to lose it on purpose that way they'll understand why won't be able to hang out with them. When you hang out with ask if you can borrow money from them and assure them that you'll pay them ASAP. Try to keep in contact with them during the month you can't go out. Eventually when you can go out, it will feel like you never missed out on anything.
