Gracie: Putting up with Friends

Everyone can put up with friends, and everyone has them..... believe it or not. Sadly, sometimes your friends can become annoying, or you are in a bad mood and realize HOW ANNOYING they are. Maybe they 'accidentally' tell everybody that you are 'in love' with this guy or you kissed them..... *SO* not cool.  

So, you want to get revenge, right? Wrong... maybe after a month or 2 you will realize that both of you need the other. Once you realize that, you want to put things back in order, and your friend probably want to too..... BUT they MAY decide that you are PLAIN 'MEAN' and tell themselves that you shouldn't be friends...... Get yourself to still apologize, even though your friend may say, "I don't think that we should be friends.." You THEN gradually become friends AGAIN!! For those of you who are luck enough to have your friend say "Yesh!! Let the friend-fest begin!" count your lucky stars, because only one or two of my friends even THINK about international Friends Day.... Yeah.... international Friends Day. 

Maybe you think that everything is handy dandy, good. It probably is, but when you finally realize how annoying your friend(s) is/are you are in trouble..... --NOTE: Everybody is annoying in their own way, and your friend may not realize it until you guys are friends for a year or more. ANYWAY, there are tons of things you can do when your friends seems like the most annoying person in the world, right after your mom:

GOOD THINGS TO DO:
1. You can think about how FUN they are
2. You can test them: 
    a. See what they do when you are TRYING to be annoying
    b. See what they do when you say that you are 'best friends' with someone else
    (If the answer is to your liking, you KNOW that they are your friend, and most likely, the one who will              
     understand you best)
3. Spend EVEN MORE time with them and see what you do together....... IT CAN BE FUN
4. Spend time with their other friends that you don't know very well..... MAKE SURE YOU DO IT *WITH* THEM (They may start to think that you are TRYING to take all of their friends)

BAD THINGS TO DO:
1. Ignore them (This could make them mad and annoyed with YOU......... That could cause a fight, which CAN NEVER be good)
2. Talk about them behind their back (Nobody can keep secrets)
3. Be 'icy' to them (Really???? Being icy could cause a MAJOR fight "Why were you ignoring me??" "I wasn't *ignoring* you" and so on)
4. NEVER spend more time with another friend who isn't one of your besties.... PROBLEMATIC..
