Hey Sam,
Okay..basically I have been best friends with somebody for a really long time..BUT, this year in 8th grade I have grown really really close with a different group of people...I mean, we all hang out, but I'm best friends with them and considering how me and my other "best friend" act..we aren't even really that good of friends at all. The problem is, she still thinks we are best friends. I don't know what to do because she is really starting to annoy me and I have recently been coming up with reasons why not to hang out with her..=\ i know that it is so mean and I realize how much of an ass I'm being...but its really starting to get to me and I have no idea how to handle it. If you could help...you would most definately be my hero haha.
Thanks!!

If you don't want to be involved with her anymore because you feel like you just have nothing in common anymore, gradually stop hanging out with her, but you don't have to lie about it. Make sure all of your weekends are filled up with plans with your new friends. If you see this girl in the hall, don't really pay a great amount of attention to this girl, but be polite. If she waves acknowledge her existance. Eventually, your friend should catch the drift. Basically, don't associate yourself with her anymore, but there's no need to be rude to her. Put yourself in her shoes. And just because you're not best friends doesn't mean you can't be regular friends or aqaintences! Hope that helped.
