I think we are growing apart
I am a 13 year old girl and my friend and I are having some problems. She tries to influence me to do things that are really bad, things that I told her that I did not want to do. Though when
I told her I had a problem, she just went on talking about things like what I had said did not even matter. Then I said, are you going to forget what I just said? she says I am so so so sorry!Even though she did apologize I have this strong feeling that she is just saying it to make me happy and is not acting like a "Best Friend" at all. What should I say to her?

You should tell her that she is not acting like a real friend. Real friends never influence each other to do things that are not good for us, and they don't act that way she acting. They also do not treat their friends like she is treating yuo. I think you are smart to grow apart from her because you don't want to be friends with someone who would influence you to do something that is not in your best interest -- that's not what friendship is about.

I hate to say this but she's likely not going to be your friend in a few years. That's not friend beahvior at all and if it continues the two of you will inevitably grow apart. It just happens. If there is to be any chance of salvaging this falling friendship you have to tell her exactly how you feel about all of this. That you don't want to do the things she's trying to influence you to do, you're sick of her not listening to you when you talk, and when she apologizes you would like her to actually sound like she means it. If she doesn't improve then it's time to drop this. You can and will find much better friends.
