Question Posted Thursday October 4 2007, 8:59 pm
my friend and i have been friends for a while now but when we came to the middle school a few years ago she found other friends (the popular girls) and now she doesnt hang with us or anything. we are so mad at eachother that we dont speak to one another. i just dont think we will ever be friends again. does anyone know how i should handle this or what i should do?

I feel that the best way forward for this is to write your friend a letter telling them how much you appreciated their friendship and the fun you used to have. Put down anything that seems relevant to your feelings at this moment in time, whether you are sad, angry, hurt or indifferent. When you have written your letter, take it outside and burn it or rip it to shreds. This will give you a sense of closure and then you will be able to move on. Remember the good times and whatever you have learnt from your time as friends. I hope this helps you and that you begin to make some really good new friends. Take care.
