16/f. there's this girl..and she was my "best friend" since the 8th grade. we're now in the 10th grade. and we've drifted apart. we have no classes together, we never do anything together (once per every three months..we might go to the mall..once..) she never calls me..i never call her. myspace is our only form of communication everyday. along with saying hi and talking for the first 20 minutes of school. we have different groups of friends..and she doesn't get along with mine =| we have completely different interests. and i realize that friends should be different..but we're TOO different. she also gets on my nerves and is very annoying sometimes. along with clingy. (if she's my best friend, no one else can be) she's always 'bored'. we don't even CHAT online..or text. yet she still considers me her best friend..but she doesn't know that i've made a new best friend. i love her..like a friend..i really do. but it won't work out. how can i slowly tell her that i'm not her best friend anymore? i think it'd be better for both of us.
thank you in advance :[

You guys obviously haven't been best friends for a while now, considering you don't even talk or hang out much to speak of.
I wouldn't worry about telling her. If she happens to get all rude because you have become best friends with someone else, then ask her, "If you are my best friend, where you been all this time?" and move on.
Rosie2000 answered Monday March 10 2008, 5:32 pm: persoanlly i dont think you need to tell her. are you guys REALLY best friends right now? im sure she knows. you guys see eachother out of school every few months.. she is probably as bored and tired of the relationship as you are.. but it doesnt mean just because you guys dotn hang out and talk for 3 hours a day doesnt mean you guys cant be freinds. i think that the BEST way to tell her is maybe not to straight out say it.. that can just cause a fight.. jsut let it grow apart.. we all realize it at some point. but i have to tell you my best friend and i talk maybe every three weeks we neevr hang out we dont go to the same school we dotn have the same friends, we dont have the same interests.. but when i REALLY need someone she is ALWAYS there for me. im always there for her. inbetween the big stuff we have our other friends... you know? and we know that we have other best friends too.. it just takes time.. so you can either just tell her and that will cause a fight... or you can let her realize it on her own..
