One of the most rewarding things in life is having friendships. But the road to friendship isn’t always smooth, and sometimes the road you’re on might turn out to be the wrong one. Here, Miss O Club members CheerChick2007, cutieyas94 and sportychic101 impart their advice on one of the greatest gifts you can give somebody…your friendship.

What to do when you have an argument
By: Yasmin, 13, FL (aka cutieyas94)

I know everyone has friends and I know everyone has little arguments with their friends, maybe even a big fight with a best friend. So, what do you do? No, you’re not going to avoid her! Or wait until she apologizes to you. If you keep waiting, it might get worse!

I know, maybe sometimes it feels weird for you to be the one to say sorry first. But sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t work. I mean, to your friend, one day you’re mad at her or him, then the next day, you just assume you’re friends again. It seems weird.

What should you guys do? Maybe sometimes you have to do some activities together, if that’s what it takes to be friends again, it’s worth a shot!

I remember one time I fought with my friend, Leticia, and we didn’t talk for a few days. Then, our friend, Sabrina, invited us both to go swimming. We both went, but we didn’t talk to each other. So, we decided to play "Marco-Polo", and Leticia was Marco. She tagged me and we started laughing, and we were friends again. Maybe playing a game is what it takes to bring a friendship back together again. Or, maybe your parents!

I remember another time I fought with Leticia. And, of course, we weren’t talking. One day, my mom was picking me up from school, and Leticia and her mom were in the car with my mom! While the drive back home, our moms got us laughing and all of a sudden, we were friends again! And when we got home, we went swimming. I guess our thing together was swimming!

There are some crazy things that bring back a friendship, you just gotta go for it!
