Dear Unknown Outcast, Sometimes I feel like I don’t think anything funny anymore and being left out of conversations. In school, I told my best friend this problem and she told me because I was being “immature” so I need to be more mature. I have the “cool and popular” kids in my class and two of them makes very inappropriate jokes and sometimes my best friend would join them and laugh with them. And one of them would say to me, “Go away” to me while he continuing talking to my best friend. During music class, my best friend was laughing and wasn’t paying attention to the teacher like she usually do. I asked her why she was laughing instead of paying attention and she said, “I’m having surgery tomorrow. I want to get all my laugh out before the surgery. Then after the surgery, I’ll be grumpy.” I told my other best friend, and she said that what my best said to her too. After a few weeks, my best would go to those two and make more jokes. So is making inappropriate jokes mature or immature?
From,
Unknown Girlie
Making inappropriate jokes has NOTHING to do with being mature. If your best friend is really uptight, I guess you need to give her time to let loose. Maybe something made her think that she needed to live some of her life a bit. And you don’t have to be funny to get in. Usually in a certain grade at school, 6-8, kids are getting older and maturing differently, so they want to hang out with kids who are at their equal length of maturity. I advise you be yourself, and understand that your best friend could be going through something. But the only way is to up your game as a true best friend, and ask her what’s going on. Talk to your friend and understand her, be there for her.
