i am 15/f. one of my best friends is 14/m. he told me last year that he liked me. i don't like him and have never liked him. i told him that. i thought he would get over it during the summer. however, last week school started and he's being very clingy to me and i'm uncomfortable with this. when we're standing in line for something, he'll stand really close to me and when he talks to me he'll get really close to me. this is really creeping me out. most of the time, i'll find a way to get away or go talk to another friend, but i can't seem to get rid of him. and i like him as a friend, but he won't realize that i don't like him in that way. i already told my best girl friends how i feel and they said that they would talk to him about it. am i doing the right thing, and if he doesn't stop, what should i do? i want to keep being friends with him. also, there is a big banquet in february every year for band students, and he asked me to it this year. i said yes as a friend (he asked me several months ago) because he shamed me into saying yes. how should i tell him that i don't want to go with him if he keeps being so clingy to me?

I'm sorry but I don't think it is a great idea for one of your friends to talk to him, you have to talk to him again! You have to clear the air and make sure you tell him you only like him as a friend, nothing more. Tell him you really enjoy his friendship, but he has to stop being clingy all the time. Also try to tell him you would really like to go the dance with him, but only as friends( and to stop being clingy).All the Luck!
