What should I do, my best friend doesn't talk to me anymore?
(The star represents my best friend) My best friend* doesn’t talk to me anymore, because I made fun of her* boyfriend, because he got a tattoo. He’s 17 and he got a tattoo, of course I had my own opinion. But ever since that she* hasn’t called me, asked me to see her*, nothing. I try talking to her*, but she doesn’t put any ounce of effort into the conversation. So I talked to one of my other friends about it, because my grandfathers dying, and I’d like her and my best friend* to come to the wake with me. So my other friend told her*, and she said that she* didn’t know what to say about the situation. I mean its been 2 weeks, and I’ve tried talking to my best friend*, but she’s* just treating me like complete, and utter trash. Because I made fun of a tattoo. Should I try talking to my best friend*? Or should I just move on with my life? Because apparently she doesn’t care anymore, and it’s starting to lead me into a very depressed state. I miss my best friend. Please help me with this dilemma.. thank you very much for the help!

I think you should talk to her about the situation and tell her you do have a right to your opinion, then if its not resolved you should move on with your life. Thats a dumb reason to be mad at someone to me.
I would try one last time to talk to her. If she absolutely won’t talk to you. Write her a note. Tell her how you feel and that you miss having her friendship. In the note, tell her that the ball is now in her court and if she wants to continue the friendship, then she needs to contact you. After that, move on with your life. If she comes back into it, work on the relationship, if not, keep moving on. Having a fight because of a comment you made about her boyfriend’s tattoo seems very silly to me. Good luck.
If she’s not willing to work on things after you’ve tried to talk to her about it, then she’s not someone you want as a friend, and it’s time to move on. However, in the future, you may want to keep your opinions on those sorta things to yourself until asked to share – to you, it might just be a tattoo, but to her boyfriend, it might be a huge part of his identity and he felt something much larger was attacked.
He got a tatt at 17? I thought that was illegal. Anyway what the others above said.
@woodcutter Not with a parent’s permission.
I knew a guy who got an ICP tattoo at 15. Definitely not one of the more classic, you-might-not-regret-this-tribal-spiritual-symbol tattoos.
I’m sorry about the loss of your grandfather. He is the one worthy of thought at the moment, in my opinion. My best to you as you grow through this type of thing.
She* needs time to calm down and get over her defensive attitude; don’t criticize the boyfriend of your best friend*. If she * is joking about her boy friend then you may giggle along with her. I would call her one last time, tell her how sorry you are for being so rude and that you will appologize to the boy friend too. Sometimes it is best to say Im sorry so you can move forward. Then tell her you really need a friend because of your grandfather and if she can find it in her heart to forgive you and be with you, you would appreciate it. If there is no response then you have your answer.
Apologize. If she is a true friend she will contact you soon. If not then she is not worthy of your friendship as that is a petty thing to get angry over. I send you my prayers with regard to your grandfather.
