Question Posted Saturday December 4 2004, 12:46 am
So this is my first year at this new school and I came here looking forward to a whole new future and being able to restart witha clean slate and nobody knowing who you were or what you were like. And I have been doing pretty good so far I wanted to be friends with everyone, because that wasnt how it was at my old school, and that worked except I had this one bestfriend at the begining of the year now we hardley ever hang out and she says that I am just trying to be popular. She is completely wrong I think???? I tried to explain and she says she understands now but I dont think she does. What do you think I am dong trying to be popular or just trying to have a lot of friends?!?!?!?!?!?!

Talk to her about it and assure her that you are not rejecting her or anything- that you won't drop her for anyone. She might be just afraid of that. Maybe spend some special time with her to make her feel wanted as a friend. She obviously isn't as social as you are but unless you are willing to change there is nothing you can do about it.

LOL... i say cut back on trying to meet every single person in your school...and at the same time also try to inculde your friend into the things that you do with your new fiends...because i guarantee she is just lonely and misses your company so...like i said do two things 1.) cut back on meeting every single person in your school and 2.) try to inculde your friend into the things you do with your new friends...

Like did you like see like her like clothes like!" well when i hear the "popular clique" its like gossip, but beind friends with everyone is a great idea! just make sure that you dont leave anyone behind! just tell her that she is still you bestfriend, but you want to have other friends too! and tell her that you want other people to know that your nice and that your there for them!!!!
GOOD LUCK!

Its all grand having loads of friends, but you need to remember who has been there for you. [ wiggylilweirdo's advice column | Ask wiggylilweirdo A Question ]
