My "best friend" has been extremely mean and rude to me and many of my other friends. Plus, she's trying to pressure us all into drinking and stuff, which is something we do NOT feel comfortable at all doing. I talked to my mom and I thought about it, and I think it would be best for me to not be her friend. The problem is, one of my friends told her that I was mad (Even though I asked her not to...) at her and now she keeps texting me saying, "DO YOU HATE ME?!" and stuff, but I've just been turning off my phone. The friend who told her also has been telling me that my "best friend" has been crying a lot because of it. All I said in return was, "Well, I've cried many times because of things she has said or done to me..." and then my friend said that I have no soul. So, um, does that even make sense? My plan was to just be nice to the girl (my "best friend") at school and then outside of school, I just didn't have to hang out with her. Now I feel really bad about it even though I know that I don't want to be friends with this girl. Next time she texts me or calls me or something, what should I say? And is there some ideas of ways that I can calm down about this? (I'm just really, really stressed out about it...)

I've gone through similar best friend issues, and the truth is: if she can't see what she is doing is hurting you, then she isn't worth being labeled as your best friend. A best friend is someone who is there for you, cares for you and most definietly shouldn't be treating you like that. If she refuses to listen to you when you tell her whats going on, then just totally cut her off. (I know that sounds reallllyy harsh, but what good is it if she's always making you upset?).

As for my best friend --she's now my ex bestfriend and to tell you the truth, I've never been happier, sure I miss her at times but my days are filled with little to no stress or negativity.

Good luck!
