SUMMARY: I broke/fractured my foot on a camping trip I planned. My friends told me to "walk it off" and go to the beach, and got mad that my injury ruined their vacation and fireworks plans. I drove myself home to a clinic and left the group chat when they started arguing back. Are they worth saving? im sorry for the long text but I needed to get this off my chest.

I was planning this camping trip for my friend group. parents dropped me off with a car, helping us set up before they left for their own vacation an hour away.I was the primary driver for our group.

Another friend brought her own car, but she unexpectedly had to leave early for work My parents' strict rule was that I could only drive between the campsite and the local lake town, except in an absolute emergency. Shortly after my parents left, we went on a trail hike. I tripped over a root, fell, and was crying in excruciating pain.Instead of understanding the seriousness of the situation

, my friends told me to just "get up and walk back to the site." I had to hop on one leg in agony to get back At the campsite, I accidentally bumped a bag of chips while struggling to sit down. A

friend immediately yelled at me for it, even though I apologized. Overwhelmed and in severe physical and mental distress, I isolated myself in the car to cry and get space. Only one good friend came to sit with me and comfort me.

At 10:00 PM, I called my brother for advice. He suggested waiting until morning.

• By midnight, the pain was unbearable. My comforting friend drove me to the nearest local hospital.
• The wait time was projected to be 9 hours. At 3:00 AM, after waiting three hours, I decided to leave the hospital so my friend could finally get some sleep.
• Shivering, running on zero sleep, and realizing my left foot was likely broken, I made the executive decision to drive 1.5 hours back to my hometown to go to a familiar clinic. I thought they would manage without me since I thought my friend that had another car but in the afternoon she had to leave for work and probably left cause she needed to get home and sleep because I made she chose to go to the hospital with me. I would also like to mention since my parents were an hour away from my friends they were frequently checking up on them asking if they wanted to leave which they said no we are doing good. so they were not stranded!
• That morning, I left the camp and went home to my siblings who could help me.
• When I told my friends I was leaving to seek medical care, they completely lacked empathy. One friend told me to "go swimming" or ill buy crutches for you so we can go to the beach together.
• They claimed they were "offering solutions" by telling me to buy crutches, stay at the campsite, and just go to a local clinic nearby later. They insisted I should stay so I wouldn't "inconvenience their plans" or ruin their beach day.
• While asking a so called "friend" to pack up my bag bc I couldn't walk, I overheard a friend mocking me to the others, saying:"She's going home because she doesn't want to wait one fucking hour at a clinic."
• I drove home in tears. My parents completely backed my decision, took me to the clinic, and confirmed that I had fractured my foot and detached a ligament.
• Despite their cruelty, I still texted them to make sure they were okay. I received no response. The next day, my parents kindly drove all the way back to the campsite to pick them up and bring them home safely.

(the doom and despair aftermath)

• Once they were home, the group chat exploded with paragraphs accusing me of "ruining everything."
• They claimed they were the ones who were hurt because I "brushed off" their solutions and was unwilling to listen to them.
• They accused me of "kicking down food, yelling at everyone, and running off in the night." saying im in the wrong for the way I acted due to my body being in pain. comparing me to their friend that also broke his leg acting kinder than me even tho we were in city and got driven home right after. the last thing on my mind was manners and I wasn't rude I was just isolated. if any one has basic human decency they would understand that car logistics and manners was the last thing on my mind.
• Their biggest complaint was entirely selfish: they claimed I left them "stranded with nothing to do," meaning they couldn't go see the fireworks and were forced to sit at the campsite.
• They insulted my maturity, stating that "this is how people act while pushing 18" and that *"the future is dim"*because of how I handled an emergency.I calmly explained my side, but they just kept arguing. Realizing they only cared about their vacation logistics and not my broken bone, I left the group chat. Now they are mad that I left the chat. Calling me immature for not wanting to talk.
