Hiya!
Since the summer hols began, me and my friends haven't been met up because we were arguing so much during the last few weeks of school.
It was my idea, because I felt that we were irritating each other too much, and therefore causing way too many arguments, so we needed some alone time. (Although, I have met up with one of them.) It was nobody's fault that we were arguing, we were just all tired of school, and family problems were making us take things out on each other.
I'm now starting to regret this as I miss them so much, but I'm afraid that if we meet up we'll just carry on arguing and I really couldn't stand that happening again.
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp! Does anyone have any other suggestions on how we can mend our friendships?
Thanks, it's greatly appreciated. ;-)

Your friends probably feel the same way. Usually it just takes one person to invite them all to go do something. Be that person!

Just call them or go to where they hang out tell them you just wanted the arguing to end and that you were having some problems but now you are feeling much better and hope they are all too. They might be a bit stand offish at first but don't give up b/c if they are true friends they will understand and still be your friend. You might even want to tell them you have missed them.
Good luck!

It's certainly no fun losing friends, and the fact that you realize that and are trying to repair it seems to say your not just being anti-social. Still, real friendship comes from the heart, and you can't really manipulate people into real friendship (through money, or threats, or trying in other ways to exercize power or control over them). You might find you have more luck being more social, and being 'out there' doing social activities to expand your social contacts and making new friends, than alone. First, I'd recomend being careful of that trap: trying to do something by yourself that you think will help improve your social situation. To improve your social situation, be more social.
As far as your friends, just be to them how you would like them to be to you: invite them to do things you all like. Be persistent (we all know sometimes we get in a funk, and it takes more than one or two offers from friends to pull us out of it). Even if it doesn't work out, you'll have the peace of mind to know you really tried. And then, again, being more social too, to help expand your social network.

Get together with them, you don't know you're going to start arguing. and if you do, go home .
