My best friends in the world, Kayla & Bridget are always good to me. But lately, Bridget hasen't been. She hangs out with a lot of other girls who are mean, and doesn't act like her old self. I have no idea what's going on, and Kayla is away to New York for the WHOLE summer and i miss much [i live in virginia]
So I'm guessing your questions would be why is Bridget acting different, why is she hanging out with these other girls, and what you should do since kayla isn't around?
Bridget is probably experimenting like every normal preteen/teenage girl does. Yes, she's your best friend, but nothing says she shouldn't have other friends. The main problem here is her change in behavior. She's most likely not hanging out with the right people. You mentioned they're mean, and that's exactly why she's changing. People who are extremely nice can turn mean over a period of time if exposed to it.Sucks. But there's nothing you can do about it. You should try talking to her, let her know that you think her friends are kinda mean, and why she's not acting the way she used to. I'm sorry to say this, but sometimes best friends become strangers as they grow up, because they meet new people and change.
As for kayla, try talking to her over the computer or phone. Let her know what's going on, and have normal convos as if she were right where you are. I know you miss her, but hopefully time will pass and she'll come back real quick. Hope I helped!

(make sure kayla thinks bridget is changing too first). if she does think so too, then u and kayla talk to bridge. tell her how you feel and maybe even make a joke of it but be like serious too. ask her why the sudden change and why she is hanging out with those girls. hey, all 3 of you should have a sleepover and watch Mean Girls! then talk about the situations and how they relate to you guyz. have a good summer!

fairfax answered Saturday July 9 2005, 10:55 am: As much as you might not realise it, you're still very young, and friendships change like crazy between now and the end of your teens. You might be very worried about your friendships right now, but even if they break apart and these two girls, Kayla and Bridget, end up being people you don't see anymore, you will make new and better friends. I think it's always great to go out a lot and be as open to new friendships as possible, and try not to isolate yourself to having only a couple of friends, because if things go wrong you can end up alone and very unhappy. However, I promise you that over the next few years you will make tons more friends who will be much more important and close to you, and you'll realise that friendships at 13 are only temporary and constantly breaking up for everybody. Try ringing Kayla every now and again just for a chat, and tell her how you feel about Bridget. She might feel exactly the same and just be keeping quiet, and it might help the two of you get closer. I hope things work out for you. :) [ fairfax's advice column | Ask fairfax A Question ]
Look2Linh answered Saturday July 9 2005, 3:50 am: as time goes on, people change. i'm sorry about bridget. some of my closest friends recently blew me off also. maybe she needs a change in her life. talk to her and ask her what's going on. if she keeps blowing you off for other girls who are mean, let her make her own mistakes. sooner or later she'll realize what a great friend you were and come back to you. but for now, back off a little. there are a lot of people to hang out with and talk to. if you want you can email me at: azns4evr@yahoo.com my name is linh. and if you need anything i'll be here.

exton answered Saturday July 9 2005, 12:47 am: Part of going through your teenage years is changing. Everyone handles it differently. Your friend is handing it by actively embracing the whims that the changes in her mind and body bring. It's not her fault or yours that she has alienated you; it's just part of growing up.
Try talking to her. Perhaps you will reconcile. Or, you may end up growing apart. But that's okay...its unpleasent at the moment, but its just the way things turn out sometimes. [ exton's advice column | Ask exton A Question ]
