Zoinatrobe answered Thursday December 30 2004, 3:32 pm: Sometimes for me its the same way- maybe you should try strengthening your better friendships and give her a bit of space. Never folow her everywhere or anything like that or that will make you feel worse. At the moment she is not trying to use you, she is just confused- she knows she will get more popular by hanging with the cool kids but she dosn't want to let you down.
Hope I helped,

I think you should talk to her about if you guys are still friends or not. I know how you feel to I am kinda going threw the same thing. I hope I helped a little leave me another one if you want something else answered!! ♥Andie [ Hunnibunni23's advice column | Ask Hunnibunni23 A Question ]
TrUtH_hUrTs_1 answered Thursday December 30 2004, 1:49 pm: i think she is using you. just be like 'hey-bye' and walk by. dont feel bad if you start to act breezy with her. if she tries something about 'how you are supposewd to show love', then point out that she hasnt been showing much love when she ignores you.
caliexoxo13 answered Thursday December 30 2004, 1:47 pm: She is not really your old friend any more. You need to stop being friends wit her, and if she calls you tell her you don't want to be friends wit her. She just hangs out with you when her new friends aren't there so they don't know you are her friend. Make a new bestfriend. ~Calie~ [ caliexoxo13's advice column | Ask caliexoxo13 A Question ]
Sherry answered Thursday December 30 2004, 1:43 pm: Shes not using you but she just hangs out with you when no one is looking. She likes you but doesnt want other people to know. Which is rude so ditch her. Ignore her and stuff [ Sherry's advice column | Ask Sherry A Question ]
