Talk to her, and say exactly how you feel. If she wants to end it, then end it. If she bothers to treat you like that in the first place, then she doesn`t deserve to have wonderful friends like you and b sound. In the start, she`ll TRY to start hanging out with her and her sister`s 8th grade friends...until they, TOO, get fed up with her. Then, one day, she`ll crawl back to you and realize how much she`s missing in her life.

You don't need a friend that acts all nice to you alone.. BUT around other people, mean. It's not right. She's trying to look cool in front of them so she acts like she's better than you. But the attention isn't worth it because she will just contiune it.
You try talking to your friend, okay? It may not be pretty because her head is in the clouds. She wants to be noticed by her sister's friends and that means she's hurting you along with it. That may ruin your friendship because she doesn't even know she's hurting you or because she doesn't want to stop hanging out with them. Some people aren't aware of doing awful things unless you speak up.
If that doesn't change a thing... then talk to B and try to work something out, and possibly ditch A.

Just talk to her and tell her what has been going on and why she treats you like that. Don't say it in a mean way you know but just talk to her, she will either understand and stop or she'll keep it up. If she does keep that up you don't need a friend that acts like that. If she is a bad example then stay away from her you might start acting like that too. [ kiran's advice column | Ask kiran A Question ]
