My best friend from P3 has been ignoring me for the past 5 days. i have no idea what i did wrong or if i did anything to hurt him and make him stop reading or even responding to my texts.
Dear @perspectives
Thank you for sharing what has been happening between your best friend and you. I can sense how hurt, confused and disappointed you are feeling. Your feelings are very understandable, because no one expects someone they treat as their best friend to suddenly change their behaviour.
May I encourage you to speak soon to your parent, trusted school teacher or your school counsellor on this issue ? They may offer some valuable insight and guidance and a different reframe on what’s been happening. If you feel comfortable, do contact Tinkle Friend which is for primary school students like yourself.
Please know your friend’s behaviour is not your fault. Do remember to take good care of yourself as you are go through this difficult period. Exercise regularly to create positive endorphins, eat and sleep well. It’s ok to take one small step at a time as you navigate further.
Reach out here for support when needed.

Hi @perspectives,
Thank you for opening up about what’s been going on between you and your best friend. It’s completely understandable that you’re feeling hurt, confused, and disappointed - especially when someone you’ve trusted and cared for starts acting differently. Friendships can be deeply meaningful, and when they shift unexpectedly, it can leave you feeling unsettled and unsure of what to do next.
If you haven’t already, consider reaching out to a trusted adult (perhaps a parent, teacher, or school counsellor). They might be able to offer a fresh perspective or help you process what’s happening in a safe and supportive way. Sometimes, just talking things through with someone who cares can bring clarity and comfort.
Hey @perspectives, thanks for sharing this with us. Being ignored by your best friend is understandably very distressing and its no wonder why you’d be feeling worried and confused. It’s not your fault too, sometimes things just happen unexpectedly and its hard to pinpoint a reason. Like what @CaringBee and @Obi_Wan_Kenobi mentioned, you may want to reach out to someone that you trust to have a chat about this. Remember to be kind to yourself too, wishing you all the best!
