what do you do when your in a fight with your best friend see we got in a fight last month and she called me a really mean name so i called her an even meaner name and then we made up and got in a fight again it seems we get in a fight and then we make up right after we make up we get in a fight again how can i stop fighting with her????
It sounds to me like you and your best friend are going through a stage that a lot of young girls go through with their good friends while growing up together.
What you need to do is work on talking things out with you friend so you can avoid getting into big fights all the time. If you take the time to sit down with her (or call her up on the phone, email, IM, whatever), and explain your side of the situation (and ask her for her side as well), the two of you can better understand each others’ perspective. Once you both are on the same page, you can come to an understanding, start compromising and even avoid the fight all together.
It is easy to fight with your friends, especially those you are closest with, but by taking the time to understand each other and be open to compromise, you will notice these fights will occur less frequently. I know it can be awkward to bring up a fight to a friend, but once you get past that you will find your relationships will be better off in the end. Good luck!
