ok so my bff who i've known since 1st grade is being kinda mean to me. we are going to a new school now and well i get the feeling that she just wan to be in the "popular crowd". i'm "popular" in the sense that i have the most friends but not in the sense that i'm bff's with the girls in the "coolest group". i am really good friends with alot of girls in the "popular/coolest" group so i guess alot of people consider me popular. but my bff doesn't, so when i have classes with her and the some of the "popular" girls, which i always do, she completely ignores me or talks to me only when the "popular" girls are. so most of the time she only talks to me when the "popular" girls are and its kinda annoying. she's been ignoring me lately and ditching me alot for these "popular" girls. and it's nto just me who thinks this. our other bff's think so also. so we are all mad at her. me and my other friend the most cuz one time we all were partners for this day where we take care of these unfortunate little kids at a carnival type thing at school. anywayz she ditched us to hang out with my other really good friend who is like the most popular girl at school. she never came back to our group and we had to take care of two kids, but my other friends were helping us cuz they only had one. anywayz so she ditched us while me and my other friend took care of these two little kids. and at the end of the carnival she came back to say goodbye to the little girls. and she pretended that she had done everything with the girls that she had done the most work and that she should take all the credit. so now i am mad at her, and so are 5 other girls. i don't know if i should tell her that we're mad at her or not. or maybe we should just ignore her and ditch her like she does to us. please help me she is really gettin on my nerves even though i love her to death she's being a real biatch!!!!!

Help her understand how much the friendship means to you, and maybe it'll soften her up! If she doesn't change...was she your real friend? If she doesn't apologize, or change. Just meet new people! Smiles are contagious. If/when she does start to realize that she lost her best friend...don't be too easy to forgive and forget...let her know how she made you feel.

I also consider myself fairly popular since I have a lot of friends, but this is what i did. Let your friend know how you feel about her ditching you, being mean, etc. If she apolgizes or realise her mistake give her another chance. If she blows off your approach let her go. Eventually, she'll realize that the girls in the "popular group" aren't really true friends. They have a tendancy to gossip, backstab and ditch their friends. Maybe then she'll understand were your coming from and come back to you. If not since your going to a new school you will have the opportunity to meet a bunch of new people, surely you can find someone else to be a good best friend.
