Trip With My Ex Best Friend? HELP!?

At the beginning of the school year my friend invited me and my best friend on a summer trip with her and her family. It seems like from that point my best friend was treating me worse and worse until finally I cracked. I confronted her about how she is choosing friends, ditching me, using me, and overall treating me badly and she was really mean. She even called me an *ss hole. I don't want to continue being friends with her, and I have forgiven her too many times in the past. The trip is coming up soon and I don't think I can handle it. I can barely spend one night away from home and I definitely cannot spend an entire week away from home with someone I dislike this much. My parents say it would be a terrible thing for me to do to the host and her family and I understand. I do not want to be rude to them, so I will still go on the trip. I just know that I will be miserable! I get so home sick that it makes me throw up! I am scared that will happen to me during the trip. HELP!

Don't do anything you really don't want to do. i wouldn't go. explain to your friend how you don't want to be around that person because you really don't get along. but then again.. if you want to patch things up with your ex best friend, go. you don't have to be friends with them, but just make things okay, so there's no hard feelings. but if you don't want to do that, i wouldn't go. good luck

Hi,

First of all, this about you - not them. Your parents are completely wrong. Do they even know these people? If you have no ties to the "host" of this trip (family member, close friend of the family, friend of your parents) then you REALLY don't need to go.

Just because it's rude to ditch them on the last second, doesn't mean you can't. It happens all the time. And, you're doing it for an honest reason. If they knew, they'd understand. In fact, most people are nice. If the "host" actually knew how you felt about going on the trip, they wouldn't want you to go. If I was planning a trip and some teenage girl felt like **** about it and didn't want to go at all, why in the world would I force that person to go on the trip, or even get upset because they don't want to go?

Things change, and both your parents and the "host" need to understand that. If you parents can't understand that, they're either too ignorant or they want some special time alone...

Personally, from what you've said, I feel like your parents want you out of the house so they can be romantic. I don't see why your own parents would pressure you to do something you don't want to do, especially if that something doesn't benefit them, or you.

Just don't go. Do what you want - not what other people want. If you go on the trip, you're begging for a bad time.

Good luck, and I hope you don't go...
