I have been best freinds with this girl since 4th grade and now that I am going into high school I don't want to be best freinds with her. I want a new best freind and meet new people. I still want to be freinds with her, just not as close. She doesn't have many close friends and me leaving her would be the end of the world for her. Is this mean of me? Should I stay BFs with her?
gilmorecrazy answered Friday July 28 2006, 8:57 am: You can have as many BFs as you want. You can still make new friends. Go out with them somtimes go out as a group. You still can be friends with her and other people. You all can be friends. Don't leave a best friend that you've been with for years just because you want to have some more best friends. You can have as many BFs as you want. - gilmorecrazy [ gilmorecrazy's advice column | Ask gilmorecrazy A Question ]
abercrombie13 answered Thursday July 27 2006, 10:55 pm: are you crazy!!!!! havent you heard you can have more than one best friend if you know it will be the end of the world for her than yeah i would still be bff's
mini222 answered Thursday July 27 2006, 6:49 pm: I don't quite understand why you would want to stop being her best friends. When I was in highschool I had 3 best friends! You can remain friends with her and still meet new friends as well. Besides, bringing a few new people into your little group could help to open her world a little too. So keep your friend and make new ones. The more the merrier! [ mini222's advice column | Ask mini222 A Question ]
banbangirl answered Thursday July 27 2006, 4:45 pm: OMG i was in the same situation as you!
Sit her down and tell her this:
Listen, Through the past couple of years i have valued our friendship so much and i dont know what i would have done without you there for me. The thing is i feel as though i need to open new doors and meet new people now that we're going into high school. i'm not saying we cant be friends i just want to keep my options open and kind of start over.
Then give her a big hug. I think she will understand
FallOutGirlxO answered Thursday July 27 2006, 3:39 pm: If you really want to make this decision,
confront her. Talk to her about your feelings.
Don't keep it all bottled up inside, because if you keep it in, it can cause anger and frustration.
And also, before confronting her, think about why you don't want to be as close.
Was it because you got into a silly fight?
Or maybe you just wanted to have some space?
Remember, dont make silly mistakes in life,
because most of them can't be forgiven.
MissChloey answered Thursday July 27 2006, 2:46 pm: moving from middleschool to highschool is tough! the easiest way to do it is with good friends by your side. unless you have a good reason to end your "best" friendship..i dont see the point. you can always have more than one best friend..

AdviceMistress answered Thursday July 27 2006, 1:44 pm: well its hard naturally to move one from middle school to high school. i think you should stay in contact with her even... why are you not wanting to be her friend anymore? friends are there for each other through thick and thin no matter what. yes you will get new friends but that doens't you have to get rid of the old ones.
kOOl_aDviCe_aLwayS answered Thursday July 27 2006, 1:39 pm: well you can go into highskool and be best friends with her still and make another bestfriend.cause u can have more than best friend u know. and if you have been best friends with this girl since 4th grade you have made many memories with her and if you give her up as a best friend you wont have anyone to remember those times with.
