Hi, I'm a 10th grader who wants to break a long friendship (we've been friends since 6th or 7th grade).

She was really nice, but now all she does is talk over everybody and be mean to people.

My grades are failing because she's distracting me always interrupts the teacher.

She talks bad about my other friends also.

How can I tell her I don't want to be friends anymore?

Instead of breaking your friendship, why don't you just tell her she's not acting nice towards other people and that you don't want to be friends with someone who does such things. Try to change her behaviour, and warn her about the stupid things she's doing. If she gets it and changes, it's ok, if she doesn't, than just tell her you won't be friends with her anymore until she realises she not being a cool person.

Usually friendships kind of break automatically. All you need to do is just tell her how you feel, and the problem solves itself. There's no doubt she'll get pissed off, but there's a few different outcomes. Maybe she realizes that she's wrong and perhaps the two of you might be able to make up and move on. There's also a very decent chance she can't be reasoned with (judging from her recent behavior) and in that case she's most likely to just push you away and then that'll be that. But even if that does happen, she might still get in touch with you some way or another after a certain amount of time. She'll probably have calmed down a bit by then, and you'll have a good chance of setting aside your differences and be friends once more :'D Of course I don't know this girl and I can't predict her actions, but maybe it's of some use to you!

I've warned about her behaviour her but overall you can't try to change someone for who they really are.

I won't try to change her, but I don't want to be friends with someone who is so disrespectful to others. It's time to move on.

Thanks, but I think we're already kind of drifting away!

I talked to her, and we decided to still talk to each other. We're not that good friends anymore...

But I also convinced her to take school more seriously, and she's been paying attention in her classes more now.

It's always tough to be told to change yourself and I imagine she's keeping her distance now because she probably regrets her behavior and feels sorry. At least, that's how I'd feel:whoops: Good luck you two C;

Long friendships, have lasted long for a reason. Try not to fall out with her, have a sit down and tell what you think.
