My best friend is like getting really annoying to me, and sometimes i like her and sometimes i don't. I don't know if she should be my bestfriend anymore, cause she get's on my nerves, but I have said I don't want to be her best friend about like 4 times and I don't want to say it again. But she told me we have to secretly be best friends because she told some of my other friends that her mom said that she shouldn't have best friends. And my best friend told me she doesn't want our friends talking about her behing her back.. What should i do. answer please asap!!

If she says she doedn't want her other friends talking about her, then they can't really be good friends, so tell her she shouldn't care if they talk about her or not. Don't ignore her completely; just kind of try to hang out with her a little less. Good luck! [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]

alpha answered Wednesday March 24 2004, 1:09 am: Okay, so is there any reason at all that you *would* want to be best friends with her? It doesn't really sound like it.
Keep her as your friend if you want, but try and leave the "best" out of it. If she keeps insisting that she wants to be best friends, just tell her that she's *a* friend. But you don't need to work too hard to convince her: it doesn't really matter if she keeps insisting on it, because she can't make you be best friends if you don't want to be. Friendships can't be forced like that. Just hang out with whomever you want, and don't worry what she thinks. Eventually, she will get the message and back off. Definitely don't ever talk about her behind her back, though -- that's just mean.
She may ask you why you don't want to be best friends anymore: if she does, you have a couple of choices. You can, nicely, tell her the truth (explain why she's annoying you). This might be hurtful to her, but it might also give her the chance to change her behavior, and maybe repair the friendship. Or, you can just say, "Well, I like you a lot, but I also like So-and-so, and So-and-so, and So-and-so, and you're all important to me." It's totally up to you.

Jess08 answered Tuesday March 23 2004, 6:23 pm: Just tell her that you dont wanna be friends or best friends because if you wanna be my best friend your mom needs to know. Also I think that your annoying to me so dont call me or talk to me then wait for her to start crying and say sorry and walk away. Then she is going to think that her mom was right not to have a best friend and she wont talk to you anymore. Hope it helps.
