Me and my best- friend are growing apart!


Question Posted Tuesday October 4 2005, 5:39 am

me and my friend were best-friends since we were 4. we're 13 now and since we were 9 she's been hanging around with other people at lunch time.It didn't bother me that much .She became way more popular but it was like nothing had changed outside of school.When we 1st went into 1st year in secondary school (in Ireland)and i was really happy that she starterd hanging out with me in school again.Now we're in 2nd year and we don't see each-other outside school that much and we don't hang out in school and we're only in three classes together.she still talks to me like everything is fine.She doesn't sit beside me in two of the classes unless her friends aren't there!Sheonly sometimes sits beside me in the other class but lately she hasn't even been doing that!I think she's using me but if I tell her then she might not be my friend at all.What should I do?HELP!!!P.S. I'm a thirteen year old girl.

well i feel you should say "I feel that we are'nt talking and hanging out as much as we use to when we were kids and I am starting to feel hurt and i want to hang out with you more. I think we should hang out today after school or at lunch.

It's called life. She would just rather be around her other friends. Not to say that it's your fault or anything, that's just how the situation is going. You can keep asking her to do things with you, but you can't really force her to keep being your best friend.

im not sure about this but i think you should just let me go...i mean apparently shes making new friends so you should probably do the same but still keep in touch with her...the reason why im saying this is because if you tell her that you two are growing apart all the time then it will speed up the process because shell snd up getting annoyed or mad...maybe if you dont wanna do that you can schedule a lot of activities like you could go to the movies on friday or somewhere else

Good Luck! I hope that I Helped! =)

It always happens when you go to a new school. Friends change and try to be someone else. However, it is noticed that a lot of these friends eventually start to drift back.
When my friends drifted away from me in 7th grade, I went out and started talking to a few new people that had interests like my own. Evenutally, these people became my friends, and we have been ever since. I think that you should wait for her to come back to you, and in the meantime, get a few other friends.
And if she's talking to you and such, I don't think she's using you. She just is trying to spend more time with her new friends.

ya the best kind of thing you can do in this situation is move on. She seems like she doesnt want to be friends anymore. Try to make new friends. ;&hearts

Try telling her how you feel. You can't expect her to read your mind. Just talk to her and get things out into the open.

Well maybe you should tell her how you feel and talk things out. Tell her that you two have not been spending much time together anymore. But it could also be because she is getting more attention which makes her think that she doesnt only need to be around you but she can also be around other people if she wants.

how do u think she is using you? You should tell her how much it is bothering you that you and her don’t talk anymore and that you guys barly hang out. Don’t ignore the problem if it is really bothering you. I have somewhat of a similar situation with my ex best friend Dylan..now he and I never talk or see eachother just because I didn’t work at our friendship. If you guys have been best friends since you were 4, then do something. Maybe you both should go to the mall, have lunch and just talk about it. Good luck and get back to me on what happens.

Talk to her about your feelings and if she doesn't respond the way she doesn't want you to respond, then you have to find a new friend. You don't want to be friends with someone that treats you like dirt. You want a friendship with respect. You want a friendship that has that attention and there's nothing wrong with that at all. Nothing. Talk to her about it because you could possibly value this friendship more than she does. Please. Trust me, it may be the only thing that's helpful for yourself. Just talk to her.
