Hey! I have this really close friend of mine but lately we have started to drift apart from each other. We were especially close--from calls every day to zero calls now. Um, this all started when our council had this summer camp thing at my school and it taught us a lot about ourselves and friendships and it like, totally opened my eyes. I now saw how much she took advantage of me, even when I was a completely loyal friend. Now, I feel because we're not talking to each other anymore, she is trying to make the rest of our council and the rest of my friends turn against me. What shall I do??

You have to teach yourself to ignore people like that, and meet other people even if they arent the most popular social people. as long as they treat you like the loyal friend like you treated your old bestfriend. I think you should just start on a new blank page without her and make another good friend or "posse" whatever makes you happy just dont get too caught up in their comments ok? Well I hope you meet new people you like and become happy! 'kisses' PrettyLady16 [ PrettyLady16's advice column | Ask PrettyLady16 A Question ]

If you feel the friendship is still worth it, invite her over your house, even if it may feel a little awkward! Tell her you miss her, hanging out with her... and e.t.c. You also might need to explain any flaws in your prior relationship and maybe you can mend things. Take it very kindly. If it doesn't work... or she gives you a cold answer, I'm sorry to say that's just life, and though it hurts, the storm will always pass. [ Mercy_x_Me's advice column | Ask Mercy_x_Me A Question ]
