She blamed me

Q: Me and one of my best friends got into trouble at school, and I mean really big trouble.

She blamed it all on me even though it was her idea and I was so close to getting expelled.

I got after school detention every day of the week for 2 weeks and she didn't even got 1 day of detention.

What shall I do? Shall I ditch her and not be her friend any more??

Please help!!!!

Your so-called best friend sounds like the worst mate in the world!

You're obviously a loyal, brilliant friend, and such a strong person to have not said anything at all, but if you don't say something soon your friend might betray you again.

I would speak to her and tell her how unfair she has been to let you take the blame for something that was her idea. Ask her why she did it and how she could stand by and just watch while you went through all that grief with your school.

If you're not bothered about her taking some of the blame now, and just don't want it to happen again you should make sure she knows that. If you feel hurt by what she's done, she should know.

If it's important to you that she does admit to your school what has happened, I think you should sit down with a teacher that you can talk to and explain to them what your friend has done. Let them take it from there.

If your friend isn't bothered by her behaviour, I wouldn't stick around and let her ruin your education and mess up your life.

Good luck, love Claire
