I dont want to pay for it,,,I dont really want it because I have short hair but I cant say idont want it…Help please xxx

Answer #1

Just tell her you don’t want it…can’t use it…and let her sell it to someone who DOES want it. No big deal.

Answer #2

of course you can say you dont want it…and I would not buy it I would go out and get a new one with my money…so if you don’t want it juss say you dont.

Answer #3

to lilly49xoxo,

nah moneys not her problem she has lots,, trust me :| her mum is a bit mean like me and my other friends cant stand her mum

its not just this its everything we have had some trouble lately she is getting selfish just to me, like to all our other friends she is nice and giving but to me she is mean, I have to put up with it because if I lose her all my other friends (because we share friends) will go to her side, (trust me been there done that)((didnt end well))

and yer you might be right maybe she just wants to earn a few more bucks…

Thanks for the advice tho! x x x

Answer #4

I think that maybe there is more going on then she just wants to charge you … maybe she NEEDS the money or maybe she is gettin a bad example on how to treat friends from her parents??

what you need to think is how important is the friendship to you … is it worth making a big deal over this and risk loosing the freindship? or isnt it … (im getting the feeling that it is) I would say just scrape up the $10 and let it go … im SURE she has enough stress as it is and I think that people act selfish not on PURPOSE but as fault in human nature

Answer #5

Mmm you are right, she hasnt got great roll models, thanks! : )

Answer #6

well like I said .. maybe the home example is starting to take effect…
