Hmm theres a problem

[MJH]

Hi Everyone,

The Background:
Very shortly I'm going on a school trip to France, which I'm looking forward to completely but theres only one problem. The Bedrooms.
In the room there are 8 people. most of these get on perfectly and this doesnt matter but there are 2 people, we'll call them friend T and friend M.
Friend T doesnt get on at all with friend M , and friend M has sed that there are various things hes going to do to friend T when hes gone to sleep. Since he said this, Friend M has said that he will do his best in an attempt to get on with friend T. But friend T has said that he would rather be dead than share a room with friend M. Me, Im the link, im friends with both and im trying to keep the peace. But friend T is completely unwilling to cooperate.

My Question:

How on earth do i get the pair of them to get on? Im at my wits end an i havent a clue what to do with them. And how can i get Friend T to cooperate?

Any advice is welcome

Matt

Tell friend T that if he doesn't start getting on with M then it's his problem and it's his mess... and that you're going to spend time with friend T whatever, and not make sacrifices for M because friend T is attempting to cooperate.

Good luck :)

Matt, the best thing you can do is to tell them both that this is your trip, too, and if they cannot agree to live peacefully, if there's some plan that could interfere with your fun, you're going to tell the teacher. Get them to understand this, and hopefully agree to it. If not, follow thru and tell the teacher and let them take care of it.

I agree with IAMSAM, this is your trip too! Tell M he's acting like a 2 year old and to get over whatever he has against T, at least until your trip is over.

Personally, i think its Friend T's problem, cos M is attempting to get on with him, so i dont think that M needs to resolve his problem with him, M is just annoying sometimes lol

Yeah, tell them this isn't all about them. Tell Friend T that you only want to make this trip fun for you and them, so the best and most mature thing to do is to mind his/her own business and forget about friend M at the least. What would be better is if they had a temporary truce, but I don't want to push it. With friend M, tell him/her that they need to try to resolve whatever caused them to not get along with eachother. Not sure if their's some grudge here, or if they just have different personalities. But at least have him/her try to talk to Friend T and try to have them get along. This won't last forever, only a few weeks to a month at the most. Just do your best to get them to ignore eachother.

I'd actually be worried if Friend M was making threats to do things to T in his/her sleep.

But T is doing the right thing by trying to co-operate.

You should give M an ultimatum (if things get too much, because this could be a bit too harsh otherwise); either get on with T, or go to a different room? It wouldn't be nice if everyone else was having a nice time and then there's just one person who tries to ruin it all.

Is there a reason why M doesn't like T?
