I moved to my current town in 4th grade. I became friends with one girl ( I'll call her Shaly) in my class and as the years passed are friendship grew stronger. We told each other everything, nothing held us back. We spent every moment we could together. We considered ourselves sisters. As high school started, we were still friends, but she had gotten into dance, and all her new dance friends were older, and she hung out with them more and more and eventually I had to do all the calling and inviting her to do things. Sophomre year, my family moved houses, but stayed in the school district. I met a girl from my neighborhood and we became good friends. I now considered both of them my best friends, but Shaly was much closer with me. Well, one day in May, out of the blue, Shaly came up to me and said that she thought my friendship with the other "new" friend was taking over and that she wanted time away from me. I was extremely hurt, she had never told me that she felt like that. She had said hurtful things. She never talked to me again. So, a few months rolled by without talking and,(I had become depressed but kept everything inside. I was still extremely hurt.)She sent me a letter saying she was sorry/misses me. I wrote her back and said I'd love to meet up. She has not responded and so I sent her another email, and she won't reply. I feel like she is dangling hope in front of me but ignoring me. Should I write her or tell myself I have to move on and forget about the great friendship we shared? I am still hurt and its been almost a year. I know people change...it still hurts.

- Kiwigirl13, it is always very difficult to lose someone your really care about and it's understandable you are confused about your friendship.
- It is important for you to make your own decisions so your don't carry resentments towards your friend.
- Writing and looking at the pros and cons regarding your friendship is a great way to see if the friendship is worth saving.
- Being honest is very important in any relationship.
- Sharing and communicating how you both feel towards one antoher face to face may help both of you make decisions on your friendship.
