Recently, I’m meeting a trouble with my sister (I mean…not my real sister, she is my close friend but she older than me). I want to share with you guys my story about my first conflict with my close friend.

Two days ago like a typical day, we are going to play cards after school in the lunch room. Usually, I’m really easy to get upset when I lose a game card, and I accidentally scolded her.At that time i think this is not too serious to have a conflict because it is used to happening many time in the past but she hasn’t said anything about my bad attitude.

In the following day, I realize that she is trying to avoid me, she doesn’t talk with me, doesn’t eat lunch with me, and doesn’t go home with me. I don’t know why she do that, i ask her that why she avoid me but she didn’t answer my question, she keeps silent and go away from me. I think i was confused at that time because i don’t know the reason. Yesterday, after three days we conflict each others, I spent all my courage to ask her, but she said nothing. However, for a long time I tried to find the answer, she had said her feeling with me.

Finally, I knew the reason, and we stopped fight with each other. This is a good experience for us to understand each other more. I think in a relationship, we must respect and understand each other to avoid any misunderstandings that lead to conflicts.
