How can I convince my friends to (seriously) not make me go on a roller coaster?
Some “friends” you have. I LOVE roller coasters, but I only invite people along to amusement parks who like coasters and thrill rides. I would not disrespect my friends by forcing them to do something they absolutely do not want to do. I would rather share the experience with someone who enjoys it as much as I do. Stand your ground and explain to them that you get sick and are afraid of heights. If you have to, yell at them and walk away. Being nice doesn’t always do the trick. If they still insist, talk to the field trip chaperone or teacher about their behavior. They obviously do not care about you, therefore they are not truly your friends, so if they get in trouble, so be it. Who knows, maybe someone else in the class shares your feelings and you can ride some of the tamer rides with them.
