Should I go to my best friend's birthday party?
My Boomer Tips
Hello. Here's the deal. On the 15th of June me and my best friend have the exact same birthday. I'll be 16 and he'll be 15. Of course he's having his party on the 15th. He never, ever has had it on the 15th. He's done the exact same party every single year. We go to the same theme park, have the same thing for lunch, even ride the rides in the same exact order! After 8 or 9 years of this party it gets too much to handle. I have never really wanted to go since I though about a few things. It's my 16th birthday! The most exciting birthday of my entire life! I wanna get my license, I wanna spend time with my parents and grandmother and have a nice Italian lunch at my favorite restaurant and maybe go birthday shopping... I really don't like the sound of spending my 16th birthday at my other friends party. Everyone will be giving him presents and not even pay attention to me. Last year I acknowledged his birthday and gave him a .00 gift card, and he didn't give me a thing. So what do you guys think? What would you do? Please help, I only have a week to decide. Thanks, you guys don't know how much this helps me. (:

Just tell him you want to spend the day with your family this year. It’s a special birthday, and your family wants to take you out. Tell him you’ll see him later that day, ot the next. If he doesn’t understand, he will in a few years. Happy birthday by the way…have fun! Hope this helps…
Ask him to visit your birthday for once.
Or even better:
Host a party together.
Well I think since it’s your 16th, you don’t have to go. He should understand if you want to spend time with your family on your birthday. Just tell him your parents really want you to. But you should get him a gift. My best friend hardly ever gets me a birthday gift unless I tell her exactly what to get and I always go all out for her. But that’s not the point, you should get him a gift anyways because that’s what friends do. Or if you’re ever mad and say he never gets you anything he can’t say you didn’t either, but mostly the because it’s nice part
Plus it’ll help make up for the fact that you’re not at the party.
