dear aunt agony;
okay, so basically, i have a problem.
or rather, my friend has a problem.
you see, last month she and a group of classmates decided that after the CAs were over, they would head over to one of their houses and spend some fun time together.
the plan has been going on for about a month now, but just recently she also found out that a youth camp was being held during that day. Both activities are full day, and to go half of one before going to the other's remaining half would be inappropriate.
her parents know nothing of her initial plans with her classmates, and they have told her that it was okay for her not to go for the youth camp, but they also mentioned studying at home instead.
on the other hand, they also said that it was not good to go to either feeling distracted or guilty.
but when she sees the situation, it's practically a lose-lose one. if she goes for the outing with her friends, she will probably spend the day feeling guilty about it.
but if she goes for the youth camp, she also feels that she might end up going there out of duty and not even half-heartedly, and that she will probably feel bad about missing out all the activities that her friends would be doing without her. Also, she doesnt want to tell her friends the real reason why if she was not to go for the outing, because it might give a bad impression to them about youth group and church.
so, she doesnt know what to do.
but i dont really know what to tell her.
