okay ..
well i have this friend, we've been best friends since we were 6 . but since the beginning of 6th grade, i've known this really sweet girl, she's really funny and she's like my best friend noww .. but my old friend gets like really really jealous of her. she's mean to her for no reason, and makes up stuff about her to tell me so i won't like her as much. i feel bad, but i still hang out with my old best friend almost everyday, and i talk to her a lot and everything .. i just don't know what to do .. without hurting her feelings i guess. she gets mad at me almost everyday, it's just hard to deal with .. and her mom is always really involved with everything, like when we get in a fight and she's calling me stupid and ecotistical and a bunch of other stuff for no reason at all, and i tell her i'm not stupid, she tells her mom i'm being mean to her and her mom calls me . so i donno what to do, she can be really annoying, but i still love her bunches, and my new friend, if you read this, don't say anything, k?

Mercy_x_Me answered Thursday September 1 2005, 7:28 pm: Well... it's hard to say. Just tell your other friend you still love her to death, but it's really hard to be in a war like this. Explain to her how you've known her for longer and that makes things more important and all that just to make her happy. Tell her if she has problems to just come straight to you and sort out her feelings rather than having her mom call you, or insulting your other friend, and explain how those things make you feel like your drifting further away. Also explain how in order to maintain your friendship, you need to just not be in fights so much because the fights are tearing everyone down. If she doesn't stop, just stop talking to her for a while. Don't ignore her, smile friendly and let her sit near you at lunch or do whatever she wants to do... but just get quiet around her. Try and avoid her if it's possible, and she'll start to miss you and cut out all the drama. Good Luck, this is a really tough situation, but it's just a buncha teenage drama so hold on tight and do what can be done in this crazy world we live in!
