Losing sleep over a sleepover
Did you ever say something that you wish you could take back? Lilly is in that situation. She blurted out YES! when her BFFs asked if she could go to a sleepover, but her parents said no. What to do?
Dear PLS,
i told my best frnds that i would come over to their sleepover but when
i asked my parents if i could go they told me i couldnt!!! ITS SO
UNFAIR!!! and everyday my best frnds call me to ask me if im going i
keep on saying yes everytime. wht am i gonna do now??? i cant tell them
tht i cant go!!
Lilly, 13
I say Lilly needs to come clean and tell her friends the truth. And the sooner the better. As for parents - they can be frustrating. But find out why you can't go. Is it because you have something else to do? Is it because they don't know your friends' parents well enough? Try to solve the problem and set up another sleepover date. Maybe your mom and dad would be OK with your friends coming to your house for a sleepover sometime soon.
Any other advice for Lilly out there?

Hey girl,
I know it's difficult to say no (trust me it happens to me all the time). Although, it would her your friends feelings even more if you told her you were coming, but didn't show up. So it would be better just to tell her now. Once you tell her, you might even feel a bit better. Hope I could help!

hey :)
just phone her up and tell her thetruth she should understand but be calm enought to do it, so you dont stress out or anything. after all look on the bright side there will be many sleepover probealy waiting for you soon. And its best to tell the truth right away because if she finds out from a friend or notices you anit there but you said yes , she will be more upset and a bit angry for lieing .
so tell her the truth :)
hope i helped

Hey
I think you should ask your parents why you can't go. if they tell you that they don't feel comfortable having you sleep at someone
's house or that you have something early in the morning, ask if you can compromise.
Ask if you can hang til about 9-10 o'clock instead of sleeping over, so that way you can hang out with your friend even if you can't sleep over.
I did it one time and it worked.

You should talk to your friend and say " I'm sorry, but I said yes to you before I asked my parrents. They said no. I haven't had the nerve to tell you so after I promised I could come. I hope you understand." And if she's a good friend, then she will understand.
im in that situation alot of times and my only advice is to stay clean and tell the truth. when your bfriends find out you lied there gonna be more mad about that compared to you not being at the sleepover
I know exactly what you mean. It's the meanest thing ever when this girl who never talks to you,Finally... she invites you to this big party that everyone is going to. AND YOUR PARENT WON'T LET YOU GO!!!!!!!!!!
I know exactly how you feel here at sugarloaf my two best friends,Molly and Mackinze hate each other and wanted me to choose sides for who i was inviting to my birthday... I just told them both that they needed to make up and that i couldn't choose between them,and if they could not get over it then don't either of you come to my party! AND GUESS WHO CAME TO MY PARTY???? THEY BOTH DIIIIIIIIIDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
itd okay i have done that too , just say no and tell why the'll understand.
I agree with Jemma. The sooner you tell yourfriends the better......And the less your friens will get mad at you! Ask your parents why they won't let you go, but don't get mad. Calm and rational is the key. It might help. If they still won't let you go, ask if you can plan your own sleepover or something else special-hope this helps. Don't keep lying!

That sucks. Ask your parents about it, it's tyranny for them to say no without telling you why.
Hey Lilly,
I knw how it feels... My parents is always saying no to me wen im askng dem if I could sleep over in my frend's house... Nd I jst tell dem ok... Nd ask dem if u cud hav a sleepover in ur house nd wen ur parents say yes, ask ur frends if dey cn sleepover in ur house instead of ur frend's house nd tell dem so u cn hav fun 2... If dey say yes, hav fun having a sleepover!
Well I think that you should just ask your parents why they said no and then talk about how you really want to go and try to convince them but if you don't have to convince then and they say yes then just jump up and down and Say HURRAY! and if that doesn't work just tell your friends that you can't go because of a family matter!If your friends are really your friends they will understand why you can't go!
Yeah,I feel so bad for you. You should tell your bff about it quick. And I agree with Jemma. And if your friend gets mad just tell her ya just found out. I think your parents should know that you shold be getting some things you want.
try to find out why you can't have the sleepover and then try to set up a sleepover at your house! as for your friends, tell them asap. don't give them false hope, things come up and you can't always make it to everything. i hope it works out!

Tell your friend that you can't and try to plan another sleepover date. But before you do anything official, check with your parents and your friend's parents to see if it's OK.
hey Lilly,
maybe if your friend(s) keep asking you if you can come then maybe they know that your paents told you you cant go. So i think you should just tell them you cant. if they really are your friends, they'll accept it and maybe even plan a different activity that you could all do together!

It's alright! My parents don't let me have sleep overs either! It's OK! Just tell your friends the truth! Try asking your parents if your friends can sleep over YOUR house!
just plan another date!!!!!
hi i think she should do what her heart tells her to do
What Happened to the "Haley's Gone Veggie" post?
That's a real bummer. Just tell your friends the truth, if they're real friends they'll understand.
