My friend and i have been best best friends since we were about 4 years old... same school, lives down the road, you know. then she left public school in 6th grade for private & i ended up going to the same private HS as her in 9th grade. since i knew only her there i just wound up hanging out w/ who she did (which were annoying, prissy, catty, gossipy, fake girls) and eventually she got tired of their crap, so she ditched them. but i still hung out w/ them so in the process she was ditching ME. so then i ditched them but not for her, i just needed to & i'm GLAD i did. but she STILL won't even talk to me. on the bus we used to sit & have nice long detailed talks and now she doesn't even ackowledge me at ALL accept when her "new" friends aren't on the bus. i never EVER said anything to get her upset or mad, and even if i did, she should give me the decencey to TALK to me about it FIRST since we're BFF, right?? i don't get it, and i already lost another BFF this year & losing her hurts a LOT. i don't understand why... i don't know what to do. should i forget about it and just leave it at "we grew apart, that happens" or talk to her (w/out pissing her off) and work it out... or something else? ahh PLEASE help, i miss my best friend! =(

I DON'T think you should just say "We grew apart, that happens" because you guys are best friends and best friends don't just throw it away and go on. When best friends fight, they TRY to work it out and solve their problems. If you miss her, you should really try to gain back what you had. She's obviously not mad at you. She just kinda drifted away from you after a while. Since she's excited that she found someone new for her to hang out with, she ditched YOU because she wants new friends and I'm guessing that she's the kind of person that when she makes new friends, she forgets about her old ones. You just have to remind her of the good times you guys had and how close you guys were. You have to talk to her (calmly) and tell her that you MISS hanging out with her and calling her on the phone and emailing her every day and being her B.F.F. Tell her you don't MIND if she has other friends but you want her to be yours too. If you need more advice or want to talk, email me at kitty_kats123@yahoo.com or email me in my advice inbox.
Best of luck!
Hope I helped!

Something like that. Just confront her about it. If she's your best friend then it will be worth it. Let me know if you need anymore advice :) Hope I helped!
