Friends
This one girl has been my friend since 3rd grade. I've made new friends along the way, but always kept her. She's kind of fading from me now. She's hanging out with the popular girls who don't like me all that much and she acts snotty and all grown up. I don't really want to be friends with her anymore but I don't know how to just...stop being friends with her. On AIM, I took her out of my profile and she noticed and asked me why I wasen't in there. I told her I hadn't finished it yet, and that I'd add her later. I never did add her and she is just becoming more and more annoying. I really hope that she stops being friends with me because I just know that when I go to high school and even 7th grade and 8th grade, she is not the person I'm going to want to be hanging out around. I have another friend who I met in 4th grade. I really like her and she is so cool and nice. I really want her to be my friend although her and her family might move to New York next summer [I LIVE IN VA] and I am going to be very upset. It's not like I don't have other friends, I just want someone to call my best friend.
HELP! I RATE 5'S!
P.S-Sorry about it being so long

Answer: Changing is apart of growing up. Of course you two are not the same people you were in 3rd grade. It's okay to drift apart and not be as close. I know I have changed, made new friends, lost contact with old ones, etc. Don't feel guilty about it. It happens and it's natural. You want to be with people who are more like yourself.
Instead of taking her off your friends list just yet, you should talk to her about the friendship. If she's acting snotty, tell her you don't appreciate her behavior. If you feel as if you two have just naturally grown apart, then say so. Don't keep her in the dark by lying to her and doing something sly like removing her off your list to show how you feel. You don't want her to be snotty, so don't be snotty to her either.
You don't necessarily have to declare a new best friend. I've had many friends, even a best friend, and I never felt the need to tell her that she was my best friend, or tell my other friends that they were not my best friends. We didn't have to assign titles to our friendships, and neither do you.
