Question Posted Sunday January 18 2004, 6:19 pm

I'm not incredibly popular at school but I do have a best friend who I've known all my life even though she just moved to my school. Now she's making new friends and she even has a boyfriend. I was supposed to go to a pizza place with her and some of the kids in my class but my mom wanted me to come over to her house for the weekend so I didn't go with them. Now I'm worried that since she's made so many new friends, she'll just drop me. Do you think that'll happen?,

She won't just drop you if you continue to be a good friend to her. Don't get scared off by her new friends; it's natural that she'd want to be friendly with the people in her new school, and it doesn't mean that she'll automatically drop you because you're not part of the in-crowd.

Just keep hanging out together when you can, and recognize that it's okay for her to have other friends as well, and you should be fine. (And who knows, maybe some of the people she's hanging out with will turn out to be potential friends for you, too...)

not if she's a good friend. and if she does you know she isn't a good friend and you can become a better person because of it. Think of this situation as a learning experience. You are a soldier, you can fight your way up from the bottom.

Dear CMS,

If you've known this girl your whole life, and she's really your best friend, it's unlikely that she would ever DROP you simply because she's making new friends. If she DOES in fact DROP you, then she wasn't your best friend to begin with.

Don't worry so much. So you missed ONE outing with her. Your FIRST priority has to be to YOURSELF, and you chose to be with your Mom. There's absolutely NOTHING wrong with that, and if this girl is truly your best friend, she'll understand that.

Best Wishes!

Samantha

It depends how good of a friend she is. If she really cares for you she won't ditch you, and if she does.. then forget her, there are other better friends out there for you who won't leave you.

If she's a good friend, she won't do anything to you. I can relate to you. Good luck and God bless. Talk to her about your worries.

If she's been a best friend, it's likely she won't just suddenly drop you like a hot potato.

It depends on what kinda person she is. But I wouldn't worry about it. She's new and other people want to get to know her. If it gets to the point were you feel really left out maybe you should talk to her.

yes,because you see if she was really your best friend then she'd try to make the best decisions for your friendship!

I can't tell you that she won't drop you, because I don't know her. But what I can tell you is that you should directly talk to her about your concerns. If you feel that you two are growing apart and you don't tell her anything about it, she might never notice what's going on and what you're thinking about until she realizes that she lost you. That's why I think you should try to fix the situation right now ...

She's been your best friend all your life. If she drops you because you aren't as popular as she is, let me tell you something. She will regret it later in her life. I personally seriously doubt she will drop you over this... Because you've been with her all her life. In my opinion, if she really does start ignoring you, she will realize what she has done later and you two will be friends again.

But like I said.. You need to talk to her about it.

She may just drop you if you dont do anything with her. Go to the movies or the mall. Spend some time together before she decides to slip away.

Cspinoza1 answered Sunday January 18 2004, 6:36 pm:
It is a very known case for that to happen to people, because their friends forget the people they used to know. But first if she is a real friend she won't, and second talk with her about it, I know that sounds stupid but its true if you talk about it the chances of it actually happening are very slim.

Maybe it will maybe it won't. No one can predict the future, maybe a fortune teller, but that's it. Even if she drops you, you can make new friends of you own.
