Ending the friendship with my bff

[Meruedu]

The two of us are inseparable, it's like we share the same mind. At least that's how it used to be...
We were in the same class for three years, but she didn't approach me until last year when I was randomly drawing at school. She liked drawing as well, so we got along, discovering more and more things we have in common. At the beginning of this school year we got closer than ever. Even started hanging out outside of school a bit.

My parents didn't agree with me and her being friends at all, one of the reasons being...well...I'm one of the smarter kids and she's really, really dumb. And I'm not saying dumb as in school grades, but she has problems even spelling correctly. I'm trying not to sound mean, but she lives in an illusion. With her knowledge, she shouldn't have passed last semester in more than one subject, but her mother pays all the gifts for the teachers and she passes with a bit of indulgence, and so she thinks her education level is okay...It's not. I tried to ignore any mistakes (grammar or logic-wise) even though I was a bit irritated. I'm not someone who wouldn't make a friend based on their grades, but still... I occasionally gave her hints that she should study a bit more, but she felt offended.

I thought that she has a nice personality and that was the important thing. That started to fade away. These last months I noticed she became double faced, even lied to me about some things. Ever since I discovered her first lie, to me it felt like even our everyday interactions seemed fake. I started to question everything.

I'm mad about the fact that I spent time with her despite my parents telling me she's not worth it, but she lied to me mostly because her mom said so. Anyway, it all ends this year because we'll be going to different high schools. We said that we should still be friends and see eachother from time to time, but I want to break this friendship. I feel bad...

I don't think the problem is just with spelling and etc. If her mom told her to lie to you, then she can't think for herself too. She probably just 'followed the wave' and just lied without thinking if she should or not. Does she have any problem? Or is she just dumb because she never studies? I think that the problem with her is that she doesn't seem to be able to decide by herself. She gets offended when you try to help her saying she should study because she thinks that she's fine because of her mother making her pass. She can't realize that she's not going the right way and things might not work out for her in her life. What if her mother couldn't help her, for example? I think that she should either have Philosophy or something to make her be able to think by herself, that's the best thing you can do to help her I think. Otherwise, there isn't much you can do if she's that manipulated by her mother. At least this is what I thought from what you've written, you can correct anything I might have been wrong about.
I hope I helped. :)

I have a friend right now who is my best friend. We talk about most things, but we often argue and it gets really bad(she's a girl btw). I tried to break the friendship with her formally back on New Year's, but I couldn't bring myself to execute. I texted her saying we were done and that I never wanted to talk to her anymore, but I was broken up about it afterwards and we became friends again shortly after.

I'd think about this a good bit before you do it. Best friends are hard to find and you might find yourself missing her.

Why did you want to break your friendship with your best friend? I would never want to break friendship with my best friend.

If she lies to you then she is not a best friend :)

We argued a lot and it usually left me feeling really broken up and depressed. Also, I've had feelings for her which complicates things.

If you want to break the friendship, you're already going to different schools and most likely will move on so just don't talk or reply to her messages. this happened to me, my best friend and i went to different high schools and we talked a bit during the summer and freshman year but it drifts apart.
