who is a friend?my definition of a friend says a friend is a one who is happy in your achievements and stand by you in times of adversity.but something happened that changed my idea of a friend.i had my bachelors examinations few days back and got the result out i secured third position in the examinations and my friend flunked.she didn't even call me once to tell me about the declaration of the result and on top of that when i called her she didn't answer.i got to know about the result and how she did through another friend of mine.we have been very close for years now and i wouldn't want to lose her ...suggest what can i do?and why is she behaving in such an extreme manner?

Hi witty, Congratulations for that, I know it was a lot of hard work and now it's paid off! Maybe your friend is depressed, she didn't make it and that makes her very sad...If I were you, i will visit her and comfort her that there is second chance and that it's not the end of her career! I had a friend, a close friend also who experienced that and she is very emotional that no matter how many times we checked online the results, she always want to do it since she can't believe she didn't make it..But, I was there for her, encourage her that it has a reason why it happens and she can always take the exam.. She got married not with 3 kids and she is hoping to review and take again!

First of all, let me congratulate you on your fine achievement...way to go! I am hoping you are NOT seeing another side of your friend, it to me sounds like her ego is getting in her way! A true, and good friend, would be extremely proud of your accomplishments, and congratulate you! Possibly, you just need to give her some time, so she knows that you are not gloating, as this seems to be a sensitive issue with her! If you & she can get by this, is it possible that you could coach her for re-examination? I can relate to this, as several years ago, my Unit Chief and I went to the Justice Institute for exams! She failed! I got really good results! (Remember, she was my boss!) She re-acted to me, the same way! I went on with life, treated her with the same respect as before, never mentioned any of this, and things eventually got back on track! Cheers & Good Luck!
