13/f Okay, so ever since 6th grade started my friend, lets call her Theresa, has been having some kind of rivalery with another person in our click. In 6th grade it was my friend "Lily" and the two were always at each other's necks with the dumbest arguments you can think of. Then, in 7th grade Theresa stopped arguing with Lily and started to get into fights with another girl in our click "Traci." Again, the two fight like 5 year olds. Now that we're going into 8th grade, we think Theresa is going to do the same thing with another person in our click. What do you think we should do?

You all need to talk to her about this and calmly explain to her you don't want it to keep happening because none of you want to lose her as a friend.
If you have a good chat about it, she may realize how bitchy she's being and stop.
If she doesn't stop and quite frankly, you've all had enough, noone is making you be her friend. If she doesn't put a stop to it, then you're all better off without her constant petty arguments.
Make this known to her. and I'm sure she will be nicer. [ thelaura's advice column | Ask thelaura A Question ]
