Please help, girl drama... I am dreading to go back to school tm!?

There is this girl who i have been "friends" with since the 4th grade. She has always been a drama queen no doubt about it and always manages to pull me into her drama. So her birthday is coming up and her really close friend Claire was going to throw her a surprise party. This girl, Julia, has friends but everyone overtime has become very sick of her drama. Anyways I could not go to the party due to the drama club play being that weekend (which I'm heavily involved in) and a lot of my friends decided not to go to the party as well for the sake of some not liking her and others just having plans. So apparently my friend Katy told Claire that a lot of people, including me and this other girl Sandy, were not going to Julia's party and that we should do something else instead. So of course Claire told Julia that we were going to have a surprise party for her but we decided to cancel it because a lot of people weren't going including Sandy and I. Julia then texts me and yells at me asking me why i am not going to her party and screaming at me about how hurt she is. I explained to her how drama club got in the way and I was sorry if her feelings were hurt. She never responded. Now I have to go to school tomorrow and see her and I'm worried by the time I get there I'm not gonna have any friends left. (She has turned my friends against me before.) What should I do?

    Stand up for yourself! Go to school confident and just approach your friends and talk with them like you would normally. Don't try to approach her first, just wait til you see her and she approaches you. If she is yelling and screaming at you or trying to turn anyone against you just explain in the most civil way you can, as to why you were unable to attend her (cancelled) party. If she does not listen to reason, tell her that you are sorry you were unable to satisfy her with your logical reason to being unavailable, and simply end the conversation for the day. Tell her you will talk to her some other time when she decides to cool down and listen to reason.

    Trust me on this one, I have been there multiple times. Some people just don't listen to logical reasoning at times. So you just have to give them their space and let them think about the way they react.

    Of course if it doesn't get better and she tries to purposely try to ruin your life, just end all connections to her. Simply tell her, you do not wish to be friends with her anymore, and that you wish the best of luck to her and her over dramatic ways. :D

    Hope this helps!

    Well, if people are getting sick of her drama then chances are good they won't take her side over yours. Also, you were not the only one that was going to ditch the party. You can thank good old friend Claire for cluing her in. Anyway, when it comes up just tell her you had the drama club obligation before you knew about her party, and if it had been a different date you had gone. Offer to do something else with her for her birthday instead. Honestly, I know this is little consolation, but if she's able to turn all your friends against you they weren't really your friends to start with.

    if Julia is your true friend she should understand why you couldn't go to the party. Try talking to her and explaining that you really want to go but you can't. if she asks you whats more important, say that you don't want to ruin the friendship but you can't avoid your role in drama just for one party. If this doesn't work try to make it up to her by planing a special day for the two of you. Also, your other friends should be on your side if they agree she is a drama queen. Try to talk to them before she does. hope this helped, good luck!

    I don't see you doing anything wrong. She has a really thick face. If you can't attend her birthday party, why is she whining about it? Shouldn't a normal person with good manners tell you "it's okay no problem. Thanks anyway"? You have to tell her off infront of your friends that she's having attitude problems and that she's a drama queen. It's for her own good. Otherwise she's just going to continue being a drama queen. You have to tell her that being a drama queen is embarassing. To be honest, I make fun of drama queens. lol they need somebody to tell them or they're just going to shame themselves time and time again.
