I also need to vent

[Miss Z]

Wow, i definitely think you have every right to be angry. If my friends did that to me (which i'm sure they wouldn't) I would be clawing the walls. Maybe the upside of this predicament is that now you can see the person that she probably really is. She may have done similar things to others whilst you were her friend, but then you may not have noticed. I hope that you can sort this out, sounds as if you're having multiple problems, and i really do feel for you. If you want to talk, i'm just a pm away

[Cat's Meowm]

I'm sorry for you, sweetheart. Your parents are right that ending the friendship should be what to do. "With friends like that, who needs enemies?"
Concentrate on the other girls (like the one who has the dog) and let that so-called best friend go. It's hard, but it'll be one less thing to worry about. You have enough on your plate without that. Hand in there!

Thanks everyone. I'm feeling a little better. Come Monday Kayla will probably ask me why I'm mad at her. (which is such an obvious question) I'll probably still be angry and want to yell at her. But I won't be really harsh, even though I think she deserves it. It woulden't be right to be really cruel, because then I will just sink to her level.

Ya that's a good idea just be yourself when u tell her how mad you are at her and that you are not gonna be friends with her bcuz she is ditching u bcuz u aren't cool for the people she wants to hang out with that's just messed up I'm sorry for what happened that is just mean what she did.

I had a friend like this back in middle school. She suddenly became too "cool" to hang out with me or even talk to me in public anymore. However (we were neighbors) after school or at home, she still wanted to hang out and stuff.

I eventually just decided that, if I wasn't worth her time and she had to "hide" me from her "cool" friends, then she wasn't worth my time PERIOD.

You are hitting the spot in your life when you will start to separate the TRUE friends from the not-so-true friends. Its a very hard transition (I didn't hit it until late in high school) but just remember -- it may hurt now, but if you don't break it off asap it will only be harder in the long run. And not on them -- on you!!

And remember: DO NOT CHANGE FOR ANYONE!!!

Things will get better, you just wait!
I had a horrid "friend". Its not even funny how she made me feel. We used to be so close that you couldn't seperate us. And then I became friends with another girl and I introduced the two. Well, now if we're all in a group together, I'm left out as my old friend completely ignores me most of the time as she gives all her attention to my other friend. And if I tell her that I'm feeling left out, she tells me that I "don't always have to be the center of attention"... its really sad because I had helped her through so much, like her parents getting divorced. (this was all last year)
And that year I went through a major depression stage (my grandmum died and all of my family was fighting, my father lost his job due to downsizing, and thats only half of it). I started cutting (which I still do...a little) and attempted suicide (twice). I really don't see how I made it through that year... but now I'm glad I did.
I dropped that friend. And my life is so much better. I've made some new friends, real friends. I just had to give it time.
And you have the right to feel upset, but you shouldn't feel bad. You deserve better if she treats you so horrid.

EDIT// sorry this was so long... I know you didn't want to hear me complain about last year. Thats actually the first time I told anyone about some of that stuff.

OMG It sounds like you had a horrible year! I'm so sorry you had such a hard time. This is the reason I hate me feeling bad for myself... some people have it harder. Like you! I'm sorry and I hope you feel better now.

And Jessika, your right. That's kind of what Kayla is like.

Thanks for the replies everyone. It's nice to know your not the only one who goes through this stuff.

[Chilli]

Don't feel bad about feeling bad for yourself! Its part of being human!

[jackie]

Wow, that would make me feel really sad too, but the bright side is that now you know what kind of person she is.

If one of my friends said something so hurtful and rude, I would never want to speak to them again. You deserve better friends then that.

[moosmom]

She said me and her and our other friends won't be friends in high school because she's becoming popular. She won't hang out with us because it ruins her 'self image'.

Is this girl for REAL??? She needs to get over herself real quick!! Who the hell does she think she is?? Paris Hilton?? PUHLEEEEZE!!!

She's a snot and does NOT deserve your friendship.
