hey i read ur advice column and i thought that u 2 were good at this kind of stuff so ummm well i have this friend and she is kool and everything but she also has some really really really annoying things about her that i CANT STAND!! well like she wants to hang out and all next yr in school but like she is a prep and i am a punk and idk it just isnt going to work. i think that i will be better off with out her. but rite now she thinks that i am like some kind of saint or something and she is always there. i dont want to hurt her feelings but how do i break off a good friendship that has been going for 4 years without her knowing that i dont really like her ? ? ? ? ? ?
a. just ignore her and don't talk to her. Cancel all your plans and ignore her phone calls. soon youll drift apart.
-OR-
b. just tell her. see... those 2 grls... they were afraid to tell me to my face. They thought they were gonna make me upset and i would take it to the guidence counselor. they were afraid. Just say something like this.
"Hey. i know we have been friends for 4 yrs but i feel that we are not very good together. Im punk and your prep. i feel we need to move on." but just don't say it straight up to her face like i hate you. that would be mean.
