I have a once great 'best friend' whom I was very close to, but lately she's been a bitch and baby, honestly, and flipping on my other friend and me over nothing. I can't take it anymore. Should I stay her friend?
WingYan answered Tuesday April 19 2011, 4:35 pm: It's part of being a friend to take crap from someone important to you. Is your friend going through something and acting out? Is her actions intentionally malicious? Is she treating you like that because she finds it easier than asking for your help or support?
There could be something behind this. She may well just be mistreating you and if that's the case you dont deserve to be treated in such an inappropriate and uncalled for manner. Let her go and focus on the people who do treat you right.
But it's not right to give up on someone if you dont know the full story. Have a proper one on one conversation with herabout your friendship, your concerns and how she treats you. Make her aware of how you feel, how her behaviour impacts upon you. Be firm and clear.
Give her a chance. One chance. If she blows it then you'll know she wasn't worth keeping as a friend. but she could potentially be someone important in your life if there is something going on. [ WingYan's advice column | Ask WingYan A Question ]

You don't want to surround yourself with people like that. They will just make you feel worse and can cause potential drama. Trust me thats happened to me before and it sucks. I say just leave her to rot on her own. If she's smart, she'll realize that you're a great friend and lost something important and she might come back to you. Until then, just leave her and her problems. You don't need any of that :) you're 14! be young and have fun! don't let other people bring you down! she's not a real friend if she acts this way. you can find someone worthy of you :) [ lovealways1221's advice column | Ask lovealways1221 A Question ]
