Okay so my best friend is all of a sudden being a total jerk to me. She's saying I'm stupid when I'm an A- average student and she's a C average student. She's saying just because it took me a longer time to move up a level in gymnastics means I'm not as good as her when I'm the one who got her into it and she's only moving up a level because she wants to be better than me. I work my butt off to get the scores to move up but she gets a score 4 points lower than mine and she can move up. I have other friends but I spend more time with her. What should I do?

You could try talking to her telling her to quit calling you stupid and that if she really was your bestfriend she wouldn't call you shit or be as nasty and competetive as she is.
If you don't want to talk to her about it just ignore her and get on with it but don't bother trying to be better than her. She's the jealous one, you're already better than her.
If you were a shitty student that's failed most subjects and she was an A+ student but she was jealous of you you'd already be less-stupid than her for not being jealous of anyone :)
Hope I helped

But if you don't want to be friends with her, tell her you feel you two have become different and should go your seperate ways. You said you have other friends, just call them up more often. I'm sure they wouldn't mind hanging out with you =)! Goodluck.

MAybe you should start spending time with your other friends more... also talk to her about it... maybe she wants to be like you and your her role model or somthing... just don't let her get to you... you know your better than her... but don't go blabbing it to the world like she would because that shows your a bigger person then her.

BABiiKATiEx3 answered Sunday March 20 2005, 5:05 pm: Ok well it sounds to me like she feels that your friendship has become a competition and is using things such as grades and gymnastics to put her above you which obviously isn't happening. What you need to do is sit down with her and tell her she is a good friend of yours but you dont like the way she is treating you. If she is really the friend you think she is she will understand and everything should straighten out. If not you'll realize she wasn't worth it and you should move on.
