i'm moving to a different school, & my friend needs to move
ok, so i'm gonna b going to a boarding school next year, and i'm leaving my school to a different state, but my parents are still going to live in the town i live in right now. i have this friend sara, who i have become really close to since i moved here 3 years ago. she's really nice and fun in her way, but unlike me, she's not really all that socially outgoing. when i told her i was moving, she started changing wants to do everything with me. school projects, sleepovers, hang outs...everything! she's even starting to befriend my other more "popular" friends who she doesn't even like all that much. It took me really hard work to get to the social position i am in today, and when she's all around my more popular friends they think i'm weird for liking sara. I don't mind having sara by me all that much, but it's just that making her embarrass herself infront of the popular crowed i'm in and sticking by me is starting to get me really pissed off! i can't just say "hey, i understand your feelings but i need my own space," because she's very emmotional. wht should i do? help! ~peyton m.

Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
i think she really likes you, so she wants to spend as much time with you as possible before you move. which explains why she's started doing everything with you and hanging out with your more "popular" crowd. she probably wants to be popular too, like a lot of girls do. without hurting her feelings or telling her really, the next time she wants to come over and you're sort of sick of her, make up some excuse for her not to come over for your own time. make sure she doesn't find out though. if she doesn't find out, it won't hurt her feelings and she'll never know. i mean, it's mean to lie to your friends but this is sort of for a good cause. and for the popular people, you could maybe have somebody else tell her, not you. just don't have that other person mention you. if you can't do that, think of it this way- you're moving next year anyway so she won't bug you and embarass herself (while embarassing you at the same time, that is). good luck!! :)
