My bestfriend is being cruel to me. She likes to show off. She also acts to me like i am her slave. She is a suckup and don't know what to do. We have been friends for so long. I am moving far away soon and she is either really sad and is mean to me or she doesn't care that i am moving. I don't know. She use to be so nice. But know she is trying to be popular and mean. PLEASE HELP!!!

Claire15 answered Tuesday February 8 2005, 11:50 am: You should ditch her as soon as possible. She has no right whatsoever to treat you like this. Something tells me that talking to her in this situation won't help matters and I know it's hard but sometimes friendships fall apart because the two people change a lot. It's crap but it happens and the sooner you end this friendship, the happier you'll be. I'm sure you have lots of other great friends who love and respect you, so go with them. Besides you are moving soon, so you have a chance for a fresh start and new friendships.

*Hope I helped*

OK,
If your so called friend ignores you when you are speaking to her, then there is no point in being her friend. Friends are ment to be there to talk to when in trouble, e.c.t. Try slowly drifting away from her, going with your other friends. If they are her friends too, you may need to find new friends. I myself hear this alot on advicenators and I know what you are thinking- it isn't that easy. You don't just go hunting for friends. If there is a group you often eat lunch with or something, start talking to them more and sometimes going off with them instead of her. Maybe join a club for your grade. There are lots of ways to meet new people.
If she acts to you as if you are her slave, drifting away from her will "free you". When she tells you to do something now, you can say no- you have other friends so don't just depend on her for friendship.
Like you said in your question, she may be very sad and this showing off is a way for her to attract new friends.
Hope I helped, question me if there is trouble,
