i'm still here, you know
Me and this other girl are best friends. She lives right down the street from me and we do everything together. We tell each other our deepest secrets, who we drool over, what we want to be when we get older. We are inseparable. This was what it was like until a few months ago. After this party where my friend almost made some.. eh... rash descisions. Now she's "too cool" for me. "Too cool" for the people she's known all her life. She's forgetting her old friends and trying to be someone she's not. Whenever I'm around her though, she acts like we're still best friends. I've talked to her about it, but whenever I do she always says "Oh don't worry, you'll always be my best friend no matter what." I wish I could be as confident about our deteriorating friendship as she is. What can i do? love, <3Torn

dear torn-
sounds like this "best friend" is a friend we like to call a "weather friend". a weather friend is someone who is your friend sometimes, but the other times can be one of those people that act like they dislike you too. ive had them before, and sometimes they start out as your best friend who-would-never-leave-your-side, but slowly turn into something that they find to be "better off". if your friend feels like she belongs in this new group (and it doesnt include you), she doesnt sound like someone who will end up with strong relationships. i think its selfish to leave behind a friend that has stuck with you no matter what just to be "cooler". its a sad world sometimes, and it may not be the advice you want, but you may just have to take her the way she is now. who knows, she might return to that girl you knew a few months ago? im sorry about your friendship, hope things turn out in your favor, thanks for asking my advice =]
ps: its good you talked to her about things but, there are many more kind friends out there that wont leave you, you just have to find them - ask_anything
