Dear Jellybean,

One of my best friends is really clingy. Like, she wants to have sleepovers and hang out all the time, even when it's not convenient for me. If she asks to hang out and i have a legitimate reason not to, like I already made other plans, she gets really mad and is like "why don't you want to hang out with me? I've been waiting all week to hang out with you and this is the only day I can!" Usually I apologize a lot and she just goes "whatever" but once she called me something nasty and it started a fight (which I had to resolve while she was swearing at me, by the way). She's going through a lot of crap at home right now, and she really is a good friend, but I feel like I'm being walked on. What can I do to keep her from being clingy without losing her as a friend?
