ok so my friend and i have been friends since 3rd grade but now i have another friend and she always talks bad about her i told her i didnt care if she talked about her or if she likes her just dont talk meanly about her in front of me and she screams i can do what i want and you cant stop me so i say you cant stop me from not being your friend so were not friends anymore but she always really mean to me when im with my friends for no reason she also says i started all the fights when i didnt for example if i see a punch buggy i punch her now i did accidently do it a little hard but i said sorry and then she says youre not supposed to punch people for punch buggys your supposed to lightly tap them so thay cant really feel it and i told her my science fair idea and she said she was doing that (and she had already said hers and it was different) and i told her i would not be her friend if she did and so we got into a fight and stuff like that and she said i started them ALL!

Real friends respect each other. She does not respect your feelings by screaming at you and treating you like an a**hole, and she does not respect your wishes by being mean to you about your friend. She even stole your idea for a science project! That is more than enough evidence to say she does not respect you.
You have every right to make new friends, as does she.
My advice is for you to cash in your chips on that friendship. You don't deserve to put up with a bunch of crap from someone you call "friend." She is not your friend anymore. She proved that with her behavior.
It's just terribly sad she is so willing to flush such a long term friendship down the toilet, but she has made that choice.
Now you need to make the choice of weather you want to continue to put up with her abuse, or walk away from it and move on. Believe me, I know that walking away is hard to do, and heart breaking. But she is already breaking your heart, isn't she?

Build up your own group of friends and ignore her. Do not engage her in any way. Do not respond to her teasing and do not speak poorly of her. That puts you on the moral high-road and makes you a more attractive friend to others. She'll get over it eventually.
