Hi Ella

I have a problem and I have no idea what to do.

The other day I went to my tutor place and it turned out my cousin wasn't there. My mum was going out and she told me to stay at my cousins house  (the one who didn't go tutor). So I went to her house and her dad asked me where she was. I said I didn't know where she was and that she didn't come tutor place today. When she came home, her dad got angry at her and said that he was going to break her phone and now he won't talk to her. She blames everything on me because she bunked and I snitched on her, but she didn't even tell me that she was bunking. She said that she hates me and that I'm not family and she never liked me from the beginning anyway. She said she's going to make everyone hate me and the thing is she would do it too because she has a lot of connections.

I have no idea what to do and I don't know if even you can give me advice in this problem.

It sounds like this is all one big misunderstanding, and you really just need to talk to your cousin and tell her that you didn't mean to snitch on her in any way. She is probably extremely mad at you at the minute, but she will calm down and see sense soon- people say all kinds of things when they're mad or upset. Give her time, and then just talk to her about the whole situation and how none of it was meant to snitch on her. Don't stress about the situation, talking is always the best way forward.
