So I met Jordan in 6th grade summer school. Our friendship sprung up from the mutual love of basketball, Michael Jordan, and Jordan shoes.

7th grade we were extremely tight friends. We hung out often at the mall. We talked a lot, and at times I literally called the kid my brother. 8th grade came and I entered a really moody stage in my life. Out of no where, I became depressed and for a while, I was totally putting up an emo front. I didn't dress like it, but I was just nasty. I argued with Jordan a lot. I usually got mad at him for not texting me back or not answering his phone. I would tell my self "he's getting sick of me" and it just made me up set. In the 8th grade, we had a few pretty bad arguments and I said all kinds of stupid stuff. You know how it goes with fluctuating hormones.

I also don't think that it helped that I was really sexual towards him throughout those time periods. I was just starting to really discover my sexuality and I kind of forced all kinds of questions on to him. I also probably forced all kinds of weird situations on to him as well, which probably made him feel uncomfortable. I am now comfortable with my sexuality, and I do not force it on people at all in real life, so it's not as if I would do it to him again.

Anyway, 9th grade came, and we rarely spoke. We had the same science class, and we actually talked a few times throughout the year, but no where near as close as we used to.

I miss having him as my friend, he was really a great person and he grounded me. I'm not trying to make this seem like I love him or anything, I just think it would be beneficial to me to have him back in my life somehow.

I need ideas on how I can do so. You guys got any suggestions? Or is this just a sabotaged situation

just talk to him and let him know how you feel and see where it goes from there

Well there is this thread (http://www.virtualteen.org/forums/showpost.php?p=305940&postcount=1)that might help.
I think you just need to talk to him, apoligize to him about the way you acted and ask him if he wants to hang out sometime. Just bring him in gentley and not forcefully asking him to be friends with you.
Im sure if you were that close he would still want to get back some of what you had but remember it might not be the same as it was before if so much has changed between you so don't be dissapointed if you can't get it all back.
