Not good enough to be her friend???
My friend (like my best friend) was just talking to me about how she used to be so popular last year but this year shes not. It felt like she was putting me down because we hang out everyday at lunch and always call each other and everything. I've never really been popular. I've got a bunch of friends but usually i only hang out with one or two people all the time. So I don't know what she was telling me by saying that. It's like I'm not good enough to be her friend or something and she's only hanging out with me to have someone to hang out with. What should I do? Should I talk to her about it? Ignore it? Or just find someone new to hang out with who actually likes being my friend? Any advice you could give me would be great. Thanks :)

From what you say, it really sounds like you are reading too much into this.
I wager she just told you this because she feels comfortable telling you how she feels about things, such as her popularity status. That being the case, it just means she has a friend to confide in.
Realistically? If she felt you were the reason she isn't so popular, and her popularity was THAT important, she would have ditched you for a different crowd of friends.
I would ignore it, and be glad she thinks enough of you to talk to you about things. Unless, that is, she has actually said something about you are the reason.

P.S. You are NEVER not good enough for anyone.

Maybe your friend didn't mean to sound harsh when she said that, but it definitely doesn't hurt to have more than one friend because usually things will happen with your friend and you can't vent to anyone else because she's your one friend.
Just remember that being popular doesn't mean being a bitch to people and making out with all of the good looking guys. It means that you are liked by tons of people because you are nice to everyone and don't make fun of people. But, you should definitely make more friends and get closer to other friends.
