Is This Possible?

If she's not emotionally stable, she might not actually remember all the things she's done and said. I have a friend like that who when she goes into manic modes, she won't remember anything. It took me many years to understand completely what was going on with her, but knowing she had a real honest-to-goodness medical reason for her actions helped me understand where she was coming from.... not that it excused her actions, but it made her friends understand and forgive her some.

Like Karen said, you don't have to be a best friend, but if you try to have a little understanding you might be surprised at how much your opinion of her changes.

Of course, she might just be a drama queen who wants attention in any way she can. Either way, it sounds as if she needs some serious counseling, and not just what the school provides.

Thanks for the advice. I've been with this girl pretty much my whole life, 9 years and I'm 14 now. She's always been a drama queen, and she has done many things to get attention, bad things. I know she has issues, but whenever we try to help her she just gets worse. I've always been understanding of her, but now we've all just snapped. She's done so much that's hard to put behind you. I think she does these hurtful actions on purpose to be honest, but if she does in fact make herself forget, then I can understand that, because in a way she's not aware of it.
