bucutie--- I'm so sorry to hear about your relationship w/ your best friend going down the drain. I really wanted to reply to this topic, b/c I am going through the same thing right NOW too!!! To answer one of worriedseniors questions to you, for me b/c it has been so long, right now I'm missing the closeness of the best friend, not Jenifer herself. I really love her, but people change OR they weren't really your friend to begin w/. I cherish the times we had together, but I know we won't have those anymore.
What changed our friendship wasn't a new group of friends though. It was her new boyfriend. We used to do everything together. She came to my house everyday after school, we did something EVERY night of the week including the weekend. Then, when she got a new boyfriend, almost immediately she stopped asking to do stuff w/ me, got off the phone w/ me to talk to him, really hurtful stuff like that. I spent almost the whole last 3 mos. of my senior year staying home every single night b/c she never included me in anything any more. It REALLY hurt me, but I'm just trying to put it behind me.
I'm looking forward to school in the fall. I'm going away and she's staying home w/ her boyfriend and her old, same, plain life. I'm going to make new friends, start a new life, and experience things on my own, w/o a "best" friend. I really miss her, but I think WorriedSenior gave some awesome advice and asked some really "need to know" questions. Good luck w/ everything. Hopefully me and you both we'll have us a new, true "best" friend
(and anyone else who feels the best friend blues)
