well, i've had this one friend for like, almost a year, and in that year a lot's happened. we were best friends at one point, but she was always mean to me. now she's not very mean to me at all, but it just seems like our relationship's kinda changed. like, i feel like i really don't like her when she's not around, but (and this may seem like, really weird) when i'm with her, it's like we're really great friends again! it's so weird, cuz she keeps asking me if i still consider her my best friend, and i always say yes, but i just don't feel like she is anymore. i just wanna be friends with her, but not best friends. because i have other best friends who she gets mad at me for hanging out with instead of being with her. how do i tell her that i wanna be friends, but not best friends?
- help!

Maybe you've just grown apart like a lot of people do at this age. Plan something fun with her, and then afterwards tell her about what you think of your friendship. Try to spend time with her, and treat her with respect. Friends come and go, but you still need to be there for her when she needs it. You might change your mind about who's your "best friend" and who's not, so just stay steady and confront her about how you're feeling. IM me- TobleroneKiddo, if you need more help. Good luck!
