One of my best friends... Last year, Gr 7, was fine. She was nice and we were all together. Now in Gr 8, she doesnt even talk to me. Though i have another best friend. All she ever talks to now is another 2 girls. Which are also my friend and THEY DO talk to me. She is like such an anime freak now. Sometimes , shes all gloomy. I ask her whats wrong and she ignores me and sometimes pushes me away. Today we went on a field trip and then I wanted to take a picture of all of my friends and stuff and she just pushed me away, same with my camera. Last year, she wasnt that much of an anime freak. Not that I don't like it, she talks aobut it every day, this and that. We are also in seperate classes. I know shes a good friend but I just can't stand this of her being talking about anime, everyday, every lunch, every time! I jsut hate it. she just never talks about anything else now. She doesnt even hang with us. She ignored me and my other friend who likes anime but isnt a freak, like me. What should I do?
ArghhJill answered Wednesday October 10 2007, 6:49 pm: ok so i was in a similar situation my freshman year of high school. My best friend just started leaving me out and completly not engaging in conversations. it made me upset and then id act negatively toward her for the rest of the day. What i think you should do is just go with the flow. Working for someones friendship is exhuasting and sad if they arent working at it too. She is learning who she is and may need a little space. but this doesnt mean you should just leave her and dont talk to her that wouldnt be good :[ i think you should just stop working at being her best friend. Try hanging out and talking to other people.

I really dont know what anime is but i think that it is a cartoon thing right? that is what my lil bro told me so if its wrong sorry. but if it is like a cartoon then someone talking about it would be annoying. If you dont want to hear it though then just ask her to talk about something else, or start up a new topic to discuss. and if that still dont work then just exclude yourself from the conversation. She is probably just beginning to fill her shoes and experiment with new things and trying to figure out who she is. People just change at different rates. hope i helped
xoxo
