Linda and I made plans to go a movie on Saturday, but then she told me her mother wouldn’t let her go because they would go out together. So I said , “ Well, that’s cool with me. We can enjoy a movie on another day.” And the she said, “Why don’t we go on Friday?” I agreed. However, later my mother said we were going to be busy with housework on Friday after school, so I told Linda that I couldn’t go and we had to change the date. She was unhappy and said, “Ok, then I would rather go with other friends.” I got really angry because she thought I was in the wrong. From then on, we didn’t talk with each other any more until I told my problem to my father. From his words, I knew I shouldn’t have got angry about that small thing. He asked me to take it easy. Here are his ideas: Friends often argue about where to hang out, when to watch a movie, what one of them said, and so on. But dear, it’s really common between friends. Most of the time, it’s just because of little things that don’t really matter. The truth is, friends argue because they care about each other or just because she was having a bad day. Sometimes you just happen to have small fights with your friends, but that doesn’t mean you’re not friends any more, right?
