Always Mad
Dear Beth:
My friend always seems mad at me whenever I try to talk to her! She always says, “Don’t talk to me” when I approach her. When I try to figure out what is wrong she says it is something that I did, but I really didn’t do it. I still want to be friends with her. What should I do?
Sincerely,
Friend’s Always Mad

RE: Always Mad
Dear Friend’s Always Mad:
You could keep trying to talk to your friend; maybe she is going through a tough time and needs some love and support. You can also leave her alone for a while, and then try to talk to her! Even though you didn’t do anything wrong you could tell her you are sorry if there was a misunderstanding or her feelings were hurt. I am sure she still wants to be friends with you, but just doesn’t know how to get past whatever has upset her.
Good Luck!

I think you could ask her what is wrong again and try to help her fix what has happened.

I agree with Zoe. You could ask her what’s up and make peace with her (or him).

I would contact an adult and ask them to help you with your friendship.

I agree with all the above suggestions. Maybe you could give her some space for about a week and then try to talk to her again. Some people carry grudges and have trouble letting go.

I agree with Avery. I think you could give her some space so she can think about it. Maybe after awhile she will apologize because she was going through a hard time.

I think you could stop asking and let her alone for a little bit. I have been in situations like that and people kept coming up to me and saying, “What is it? What is it?” It really bugged me!

I think you could be patient. Just give them some time to work it out and ask them if they want your help.
