    Hope someone can be honest and tell me their opinion.

    - I have a friend who has ignored me for the past two weeks. Ive sent her loads of messages thru Bebo and txts to her mobile as I have two items in my place that belongs to her baby son. Today I finally snapped and sent her a txt asking her if i done anything wrong, I also said that ive had enought of not getting any replies whatsoever, so I was dropping the items off at her mothers. 4hrs later i got a txt from her saying that she has been away for the past few days and wont be home for another while and that she has had no credit all the while. 2 Weeks??? (Meteor 2 Metoer free txts we've always had them). So I let it slide and was on bebo later wen a friend i was chattin to asked why me and her were not talking to each other. My friend said she seen it posted on another friends profile so i checked it out. Sure enough there was a comment saying that she isn't my friend anymore and she nevr wants to talk to me again. This was dated just over a week ago. If that was the case then y did i get a txt today from her calling me "Pet".

    What do u think i shud do in this situation?

    Shud i confront her and demand a reason for what looks like HER being 2faced or what i did to her. Or should i bite the bullet and return the attitude/mentality of not talkin to her at all??
    Im confused - HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

    How old are you? Communicating through text message and bebo for weeks?
    Sending multiple messages when a 30 second phone call would do.:confused:

    Just ring and get an explanation. Only then do you worry about the attitude

    Wihtout trying to sound unhelpful, it sounds a bit childish. I'd send her a serious text/email tellign her that you're sorry she feels that way but if the freidnship has to end that it has to end. Then move on. It sounds like someone as fickle as that is not to be taken seriously or relied upon.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Trying to have a serious conversation via text is useless. You've tried it & it doesn't work. Maybe try something else like picking up the phone & calling your friend. Talk to her like adults do.

    You both sound about 15, yet you mention that she has a child.

    Pick up the phone and talk to her, or else visit her in person. Bebo and text message are no subsitute for true conversation.

    Update on the below thread:
    I tried to contact her today but she kept pressing the reject call/busy key. So i can safely assume that the friendship is over. I'm stil at the loose end of not knowing if i did anything but not to worry. If she doesnt want to talk to me like an adult then im not going to worry about it anymore.
    Cheers for da comments :)

    It is awful being let down by someone and not knowing the reason why. Yes it sounds childish ..but friendship fights often do. do u have any mutual friends?? perhaps you could get some information from them about why this has happened..sometimes its hard to move on and your left wondering if you dont know why they are annoyed.

    This girl may be genuienly annoyed about something you are not aware of. My advice is to ask mutual friends or visit her in person. Give her time to cool off..constant texts to her will not help the situation..this may annoy her further and push her away

    I was in a situation like this before myself ..we didnt talk for 3 months..but have ended up back being great friends with her again..if u were good friends before there is likely to be a reason behind this..friendships fights usually dont end for no reason.

    wow I read through that halfway before realising it was a duped paragraph -_- im going to keep parsing now!

    I'd stick with the let-it-go idea. If you both had some sort of falling out and she doesnt want to talk then the last thing to do is chase her down. Personally if someone asks me/questions me/interrogates me etc. about not getting in touch with them, I usually get less inclined to speak with them. Also, I think "Pet" sounds condascending.
