Q: How do I choose if I get invited to two parties on the same day?
A: Getting invited to more than one party is cool but it can also be complicated. You may sometimes feel like you have to choose one friend or activity over the other. You don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings but sometimes it’s hard to know what to do.
Sasha's friends, Kim and Molly are having their Bat Mitzvah's on the same day but in different Temples. Sasha wants to celebrate with both of them. Sasha realizes that she got Kim’s invitation first and told her she would be happy to attend.
Solution Resolution: Sasha thanks Molly for her invitation and explains that Kim’s invitation arrived first. She tells Molly she feels badly that she cannot be at her Bat Mitzvah. As a special gift Sasha offers to plan something fun with Molly that they would enjoy doing together, such as going to a play or museum.
Changes in friendship can be hard, especially while you're dealing with all the other changes during your tween years. The good news is that it will get easier. The most important thing is to focus on being yourself, even as you seem to change from one day to the next. You might find it helpful to talk to an adult such as a parent, older sister/brother or other relative, teacher, or counselor. After all, every adult was a tween at some point in his or her life! It’s likely that they remember what it was like when they were your age and can offer some suggestions to help you through the rough times.
