What is the truth?

Just TELL her that you're too tired. Say that you can arrange it for another day. They always find out that you're not telling the truth in the end. Otherwise say you have homework or something if you're not going to go with the tired excuse, or that your parents have given you some stuff to do at home e.g. hoovering. Or that you're waiting for a parcel to arrive?

You can't make it for [unspecified reason], but she's quite welcome to attend your funeral in between ten and fourteen days' time.

Why can't you tell her that you're just really really tired?

To all the people saying don't tell lies, do you not think that its acceptable in this situation? Its a white lie, no ones getting hurt, and the friend is hardly gonna investigate whether she was telling the truth or not.

Its not as if shes going out somewhere else, she just doesn't want to say "Im tired", which I can kind of understand, as if her friend tries to push her "Oh come on, please? you can't be that tired..." etc, it'll make her feel bad.

I make excuses like this all the time; usually its when a couple of my mates want to go to the pub but Im feeling too tired and don't really want to go and spend money when I know its not going to be a great night, I usually just say "Oh, I've not got any money" or something.

If its going to your friends house, then something like "Oh, I have an essay in for tomorrow that I really need to finish or my teacher will go sick at me", or "Sorry, my auntie/uncle/grandma is coming round and I've not seen them in a-g-e-s"
or "Nah, I feel really bad, had some dodgy xxxxxx at lunchtime and I don't think it agreed with me"

I don't know how appropriate this is but just say that your mum/dad said you can't go. I'm at Uni and when I'm at home this still works for me- as they still say it on occasion D=
