Dear Jellybean,
I have (had?) this friend. We've been friends since grade 6, but we became best friends in grade 7. We told each other EVERYTHING, she slept over all the time, and she was a really amazing friend for me. She helped me through my parents' divorce, when my dad became an addict. I really loved her as a friend. We made all these plans for our high school years together. But in Febuary of grade 8, when we toured the different high schools, I realized I wanted to go to a school out of my district. You see, I have very big goals for my future, and I'm very focused on my schoolwork and grades. The school I decided to go to just suited me better. My best friend was really upset, but we were convinced we'd stay friends. And, for the first few months of highschool, we were. Then she got a boyfriend. It started slowly; we hung out two or three times a month instead of five or six, she wouldn't call as often....but after a few months, she stopped calling. When I would call her, she'd be busy with her boyfriend. When we DID hang out, all she would talk about was her boyfriend. We're in grade 10 now, and I haven't seen her in months. I spent my entire summer in Arizona, and I saw her once in September. That was three months ago. She hasn't talked to me on MSN for weeks, and she never calls. I miss her. She knows nothing about the things I've been through since we stopped hanging out. I try calling her, but she's always out with the boyfriend. Also, all her old friends say the same thing. We had a lot of the same friends, and they all told me she's stopped hanging out/talking to them. She has no one in her life except her boyfriend. They've been dating for over a year, and I've never even met him. From what I hear, he's nice enough but not good enough for her. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy she's found a guy she likes to be with. But I miss my best friend! What can I do? I've tried talking to her about how I feel, but she takes it the wrong way, like I'm accusing her or something. :( Help!
Love,
Chelsey
