Forgetting about my ex-BFF

My best friend started ignoring me a week ago. Then at the track meet she hung around the popular girls in our grade—you know, the snobby mean ones who always get what they want. She tried to apologize for ignoring me over the internet, but I wanted to know why she did it. She said that it was because her dad who lives an hour away had been yelling at her and saying mean things over the phone. She has lots of family related problems.
She told me that she didn't want to tell me because she thought that she had dumped a lot on me lately. I was mad because I thought that best friends were supposed to tell each other everything! And then she went and made best friends with the mean girls!

Then I found out later that she had sent our entire convo that we had over the internet to one of the popular snobby girls! I was sooo upset! Then she called me and I was soooooooo mad! The next day at school she had a group of about 18 people at lunch and was telling them all that I got mad at her for no reason! Of course she didn't tell them about her dad. So all of the popular kids were giving me mean stares and talking about me when I turned my back. Then she called me and told me that I was “too clingy, and that I wouldn't let her make any new friends, and that I was jealous of her boyfriend” and she told me that we should just stay apart!


It's been a few days since then and she is totally different now! She wears short skirts and tight, too low shirts. I want to forget about her but how can I?

Dear LittleMissSunshine,

Losing your best friend is never fun or easy, but it is good that you have realized that you need to move on. Your best friend should not be treating you the way she is. She should realize that she could make new friends without ditching her old ones. But it does not seem like she has become the type of person that you want to be friends with anyway. Don’t start a fight with her, just quietly move on.


Finding some new friends is the best way to get over your loss. Start calling up those girls who are your friends with in class or sit with at lunch. You have a relationship with them, so they will probably be open to getting to know you better. Clubs and teams are also other great ways to make friends. The girls there have similar interests to you. There are plenty of other girls out there that want to be your friend. You may not find a new best friend immediately, but don’t worry too much. You’ll find someoner that will treat you like a best friend should sooner than you know it!


Love ya,
Lara
