What does one do when their best friend has a new best friend? We used to send letters to each other and we signed them "your best friend, -------" Now this best friend is hanging out with one of those people who is known for clinging to people. I've been this person's best friend since I was only 5 years old. What is the smartest thing to do?

NicoleMarie answered Friday August 6 2004, 2:04 pm: If this best friend of yours is a true friend, then she will not forget about you. If you are not spending as much time with her as before because of this "new best friend" than you need to talk to her. How do you feel about this other friend? Is she nice? If so, then give her a chance. If this other friend has a problem with you and is trying to break up your friendship than you need to point that out to your best friend. Hopefully she will see that. But my advice is to be friends with both. Spend time with them both. Have you ever heard that saying, "twos company, three's a crowd"? Well its not true. I have 2 best friends. My sister who is 2 years older, and another girl i have known for 7 years who is the same age as my sister. I couldnt imagine my life without either of them. You said this other girl (girl right?) is known for clinging. Maybe she just needs a friend. Try it. If this girl becomes a problem, then discuss it. I hope this helps.
