Hey, it's Siren here...my best bud and I have known each other for 13 years. We're both seniors in high school. All of a sudden, this year, I feel like we just...split. I can't talk to her about the important things in my life the way I can talk to my other friends. Like, a couple of my friends from band and I - well, I guess - bonded one night and I feel like I can talk to them more than I can talk to her, and I've only known them for 2 years. I can talk to them about things like french kissing with pop rocks (just an example, lol) and if I tried to talk to her about it, she'd just go "oh...um, okay," and change the subject or something. She's always been a little less mature than me, I suppose, even if she is a year older than me. But it's never bothered me until now. I want to be able to talk to her about these kinds of things, but I can't, and it's bothering me. Because of it, we're pretty much splitting. It really sucks because we used to be like sisters. She used to know all my secrets. Now only one person does, and it's not her. I wish it was, though. I mean, I miss being able to talk to her about anything. Help if you can?
-Siren =(
As people grow up, they sometimes grow apart. Even those you have been friends with for years. This happened to me in seventh grade when my friend decided she wanted to be popular. I said bye because I felt that meant she couldn't hang out with me anymore. And I didn't like the popular people so I settled for infamous. Your friend may have finally jumped ahead of you in the maturity area, but that doesn't matter.
Anyway, don't let it bother you and enjoy the ear of your new friends.

Thanks for your advice, though I think you almost misinterpreted my issue. I can't talk to her about it because she's never felt anything like what I'm going through. I can't talk to her and ask her if she's ever felt ____, etc...y'know what I mean?
