How to Save Your Friendship

Have you ever had a huge fight with your best friend over something, then felt guilty? Well, here's some advice on how to end the fight and save your friendship before it's too late.

Steps

1. Send them an e-mail saying you're sorry and asking to hear their side of the story. Remember if you don't get to the root of the problem you won't be able to fix it.

2. Try seeing the situation through their eyes.

3. Make sure that they know how you feel. Understanding each other is the key to a good friendship.

4. Try to get together, just the two of you. Like have a sleepover and just take the time to talk about how each of you feel and what you think you need to work on to make your frienship stronger.

5. Never tell your friend that they're wrong. Everyone has their own opinion, and by telling them that they're wrong (even if they are) you're making it sound like you don't care about what they have to say.

6. While in a fight don't make the situation worse by spreading rumours about them, teasing them and/or hurting them in any way. Instead, just try giving them their space and every once in a while giving them a little sorry smile, letting them know that you want the fight to be over.

7. Never try to change your best friend to make them more like you. You'll soon realize that they're perfect exactly the way they are.

8. When they try to talk to you don't walk away.Make sure that you listen to everything they have to say. Communication is gold.

9. Never try to make your best friend jealous by pretending to have a new best friend. It'll hurt them way more than make them jealous.

10. Make sure that they know that you'll always love and care about them.


Tips

* Always put in the effort to stay close friends. Even when difficult it will reward you in the long run.


Warnings

* Always be willing to listen to what they have to say.
