> I have been severely, utterly shunned. A girl who I was good friends with for the past 5 years - until this year, when she went to another school, but we're still friends - is having a post-Halloween party tonight. Everyone's invited - all kinds of people at school (even people who claim they hardly knew her), a lot of our junior high group even though she hardly sees them - it's giong to be an awesome group of people.

> Except I wasn't invited. She called everyone else over the past week, but she never called me. It's as much of a dis whether she didn't call me on purpose or just forgot about me. People are saying I should go anyway, but I'm not going to do that... There's really nothing I CAN do. My feelings are just hurt.

Dear Kiki, I'm hoping you're not directly Mennonite ;) To take a Howardian Practical Approach™ to this... Why don't you just call your friend and ask why you weren't invited?
