ImHere2MakeAdifference answered Sunday November 11 2007, 8:44 pm: Your friend could be getting drunk and listening to bad music, just to fit in. To be accepted. To be cool. People do some crazy things, just so others will like them.
Its hard when you move and you need to start all over by making friends. yeah she had you as a friend, and still does. But the fact that she lives and go to school somewhare else and socializes with different people plays a big part in this whole thing. It will take time for her to relize what she is doing and how she is acting.
Just talk to her and be like, I just don't want you to forget whare you came from. And who your true friends are. Tell her that you feel you guys arent as close as you were before. And your willing to accept the fact that she changed but your not willing to accept the fact that she's slowy pushing you away. Tell her about all the good times you guys had together and all the great memories you share. She will come around don't worry. Tell her your always going to be her friend, no matter what. You gotta give it time. Just talk it out. Things will get better.

Maybe you should say something the next time she says she got drunk like "oh thats the cool thing to do over there" or something nd maybe she'll realize shes not being herself and maybe if you keep talking to her like that and make her feel like you dont need her ; she'll realize that she needs you.

The most you can do is talk to her. Explain how you are feeling and how upset you are becoming because you are losing contact. Post her a myspace message even. Just let her know how it's affecting you.
That is all you can do, really.
You've tried your best. Now it's her turn.
If she doesn't seem to make an effort with you and has totally ditched you for her new friends, I know it's hard, but you are 100% better off without her.
Real friends don't do that to each other. [ thelaura's advice column | Ask thelaura A Question ]
