Advice?

Next year I am going on a school trip abroad with my religious studies class. A few of my friends are coming also. I know that I am going to be sticking beside my closer friend , who is quite an anxious girl, however she doesn't like one of my less closer friends who can come across as quite rude some times. We have to pick the rooms we are sleeping in and I said to the other friend she could come in a room with us as I am not against her and I was unaware my close friend was uncomfortable around her. I don't want to put people in uncomfortable situations but I also don't want to be disrespectful as I have no problem with anyone being in the same room as us. I'm at a loss of what to do because I don't want anyone to be upset.

Sometimes when thrown together 24 hours a day on a trip etc the true dynamics of friends/relationships become apparent.. You have already committed to your rude friend.. To reverse out of this could cause problems.. You seem protective towards your anxious friend. See how the cards fall.. Try not to assume too much responsibility for other people, worry more about yourself for the moment. See how it pans out..

@Majorlatency thank you and yes I am very protective over her as I know that she struggles to be around a few people and I just want this to be a good thing for everyone thaT won't cause drama

@Idc101 Well you are trying your best, hopefully drama doesn't spring out of this trip.. You never know.. You can always act as an intermediary between them both and maintain the peace.. Perhaps your rude friend will learn something from the experience..

@Majorlatency I hope so. My rude friend apparently does not learn tho because she has lost many people this year due to how mean she can be , she is often like it to me as well which has caused me to be less close to her

@Idc101 Well it may be too late to have her change rooms and will be seen as negative by your rude friend.. It depends how close you are too her... Your call entirely..

Try and get your rude friend to smarten up, else she will lose more finds in time..

@Majorlatency I think she will eventually learn herself but she has a lot of pride so it might take a while , thank you for the advice
