17/F This girl and I were best friends a few years back, but I guess that means nothing now because she is being rude to such an extreme. Trust me, I've done nothing to deserve this kind of treatment...knowing that, I can't figure out how to handle the situation. I want to be the bigger person...
She is not even worth trying to explain my feelings to. Point is: she's just trying to impress people, so she'll continue to put me down for attention from her peers. How do I keep this from getting me down?

If you are known to be a tough person, tell her if she doesn't leave you alone you will beat her up or something, but if you are known to be a problem solver not starter, then say, "I knowyou're just trying to impress your friends. And if you have to bring somebody else down to make you feeel good about yourself then you must feel pretty darn ugly on the inside." she should back off then.

You don't want to waste your breathe discussing it with her? Don't. Why should you?
Just ignore it. Don't let her know she's getting the best of you. She's trying to be impressive by getting a rise out of you, and if you fall for it, you are giving her that satisfaction.
It's just sad that someone is willing to use their best friend's head as a stepping stone to reach higher ground. :-/
