I need some guidance. Everything else is going haywire in my life. I at least need my friends.
My school runs a little fundraiser with the seniors every year during which you pay 5 dollars to have your handprint put on the walls in the school hallways. I sent a mass text to the 5 friends I've had since freshman year, a few of whom are friends with each other. In this text, I asked if they would like to meet together to see which day we'll go to sign up. (unless you sign up together, you won' have handprints side by side) In the text, I mentioned that I am aware that some of them are verging on hating one another and that it would be fine with me if anyone didn't want to get the prints in a group.

I did go on to stress that it was important to me as something to refresh our friendships so that we could end school on a good note.

So far, have I done something wrong? I was really trying to be polite and I was nothing but well-intentioned.

When I got to school this morning, one of the first things said by one of my friends was, "I don't want to get a handprint with anyone but us four." This means 4/6 friends. She was trying to force us to exclude the other two, though I had made it very clear that we should put this aside for now. Keep in mind that she does this a lot. (ex: we're on an overnight class trip and we're at the mall... everyone's taking turns picking stores to go to, but she pitches a fit and pouts when it's anyone's turn but hers)

I mean, they don't specifically need to be right next to each other if they dislike it, but let's still do it together. It was my idea. Nobody else mentioned it but me. In that respect, isn't it my right to sort of lay that out that I want all of my friends to go together and be friendly for these last nine days?

Well, I believe that you should try your best to maintain the friendships that you have, and try to ease your friends into getting along again. is there any big overly dramatic reason that your friend doesn't want the other two to be there?

and no, you're not wrong to be irritated, by the way. I've been in situations like that numerous times, and it is very stressful and irritating.

But my people skills, even with my friends, are sort of crappy. I can hardly maintain my own friendships with these people, much less try to ease them into getting along. I don't know where to start or what to say.

As for reason... Well, not really anything I would think of right away. One of them she doesn't really know, but she's acquainted with. The other has been the source of some drama. However, it's been limited to mild/moderate gossip. And I think we all realize that everyone on the planet gossips at some point and that it's not something to be exremely dramatic over. Sure, it's upsetting, but not so much so that you have to avoid the other individual like animals avoid wildfire.

Im sorry for commeting something stupid. But yesterday i learned that: Some people, iven if they are your closest friends, have to learn the concequences of their actions. No matter how hard it seems, if a problem stick for too long it might, blow up harder at the end. Just saying...
