My friend is getting under my skin!?!?

Question

i'm 14 and going into 8th grade, i really have changed alot over the past few months and last year in 7th grade i met this girl who was in all my classes & we became super close friends [best friends i guess] and i pretty much clinged to her & she clinged to me, and we never really got on each others nerves that much.

i've changed, and me & my friends really don't have that much in common anymore, i still want to be friends w/ them, im not gonna ditch them, but i want to meet new people,. and possibly a new group of friends that i have more in common with.

but my "best friend" latley has been really bugging me. she is like stuck on me! she has TONS of friends, and almost everyone likes her, and when i say people like her, i dont mean shes popular & people dont like her for her clothes or money or looks, people like her for her personality.

i don't get it why she is so clingy and i told my grandma about her & she also said she sounds obsessed with me.

some of the things she does is: IM me right away when i sign on yahoo msgr, always tell me how awesome & cool i am, talk about how we're gonna be best friends FOREVER and live together in new york & stuff. and when she talks to me shes always like "HEY BESTIE!!!!"

i want to be friends with her, but she is so annoying and clingy, and almost pretty much obsessed with me. she is also making such a HUGE deal about how we have No classes together this year..which dosent bother me at all. and she is always asking "are you mad at me" "why are you so moody" "whats wrong" and stuff, but i get annoyed VERY easily and she is being sooooooooooooo annoying!

what should i do?

Answer 1

It seems like you and I have exact opposite problems! I don't know what you can do, but I know what you shouldn't.

1. Write notes saying that I HATE YOU YOU SHOULDN'T BE FRIEINDS WIT ME!

2. Scream at her

Mean stuff like that will make her hate you and will make you hate yourself. You still want to be friends with her, right? Just a little distance.

Answer 2

i had a frined like that, what i did was take a break i just didn't spend as much time with her. Maybe you not having classes together is a good thing. you can spend some time apart and either realise that you miss her or give each other a chance to make new bffl's

Answer 3

hmm... I think that your friend is being really clingy, because she feels like she is loosing you. I had a friend last year who was exactly like that. It does get annoying. You shouldn't tell her to lay off or anything, because she sounds like she would be very mad and sad. I think that you should start to interact with other groups of friends just like you want to do, and when she tells you to IM her and stuff just tell her your busy for awhile. Try to spend some time apart from her and maybe shell find some new friends. If she is still acting clingy, then you should tell her how your feeling in a simple and nice way. I know that it is hard. Good luck.
