you have to give yourself a little time knowing this person. i dont know her ( of course) but if you said that you guys do everything together, then talk to her, ask her about her life, what does she do when she gets home, ask her about her personal life as well. Maybe she is always alone and she enjoys being with you cause you're with her most of time. Perhaps her family is not close to her and she feels that lack of love, or she just likes to be your friend. Use you head and find out this for yourself. \n\nPerhaps she really likes you and wants to be your friend, but probably she is lesbian, that's why i told you to ask her about what does she like to do, who does she go out to, or talk to her about boyfriends just to see her reaction.\n\nDont try to avoid having a friend, there are not a lot of good people out there.\n\ngood luck..

Tell her to stop then because it is hurting your feelings.  If she don't want to stop, then you should stop hanging out with her.  Friends should respect each other.  Stick to your decision, no matter what the consequence maybe.  Don't worry about her gossiping about you, the most important thing is you stick to who you are as a person.  Eventually your action will speak louder than her words, if she retaliate like that.

tell her that u don't want to be friends with her anymore. u don't want a friend that jokes around too much and goes to far and threatens to beat u up and ur friend and does beat y'all up. tell her that a TRUE FRIEND doesn't do that and that a TRUE FRIEND is suppossed to respect others' feelings and not beat them up. u can tell ur counselor and or/ someone else that u really trust. GOOD LUCK!

This isn't going to be easy but maybe slow things down enough until you feel it is a good time to let them know that things aren't working out. Usually when you start doing this they come to realize that there is something going on and maybe take it upon themself to walk away. Sometimes friends need to just be friends at a distance. It does sound like you don't want any part of them, so it's better to be nice about it so you won't be feeling guilty.

Ending a friendship with a person is not an idea I agree with.  As a college student/ professional, I have had many, many, many people I do not like.  However, I have soldiered on through dealing with these people and, surprisingly, one of these people got me the job I am currently working.  \n\nThe moral of the story is you never know when you are going to have to deal with these people again and when you will need a favor from these people.  Plus, if you two go to school together, you risk her becoming angry and sabotaging/ talking about you, as well as shared friends becoming upset.\n\nStart calling her less and hang out with her less.  If she sits down next to you, don't ignore her or treat her rudely, but consciously look at her less and direct more of your conversation toward the other people with which you are sitting.  If she calls you, don't be rude, stay on the phone about 5-10 minutes, but then tell her you need to go.  Don't make excuses, just say, "I have to go," and say goodbye.\n\nIf she does confront you about the luke-warm (not cold) shoulder you've been giving her, simply tell her that you've been busy and you have some personal things going on (don't tell her that SHE'S the personal thing) and that having a slightly less close relationship is more comfortable for you.\n\nIt make take a bit of time, especially if she has only a few friends, but she will get the point eventually.  While coming straight out and telling her you don't want to be friends sounds nice now, you will probably regret it later in life, whether because it sabotages your career prospects or because you feel guilty about it (I certainly feel guilty about doing the same thing in my past).

Tell her the truth. Let her know that the other individual is your friend and that you don't want to talk negatively about anyone. If she can't respect that, she doesn't respect your friendship.

I, too have drifted away from friends I know since childhood. The best thing to do is have a peer mediation. Sounds totally, dorky, right?  Talk to her privately, so no one get embarrassed and tell her your honest feelings. i know it may be hard at first, but trust me, once you get going, it'll be easier. Set up some rules, like no interruptions, and let her talk. Tell her she's been hurting you, and that she's too bossy! don't raise your voice or tell her you hate her though. =P LET HER TALK TOO! Maybe she's been going through something. when my friends and I did this, I let them talk also. WE all ended on the floor bawling, but it was GOOD. I felt...RELIEVED. My friends and I are A LOT happier, and now, we know to talk BEFORE we blow up. Let her say what she needs too, but IF SHE starts getting aggressive, or rude-WALK AWAY. You don't deserve that. Maybe your friendship can be salvaged, most likely no, but at least you won't end the friendship on bad terms. Tell her that this is what's best for both of you, and you know longer desire her he company. Be the better person and walk away if things get ugly.\nGod bless, hun!

Confront her about it. Then tell her that you will not tolerate it anymore. Tell her that you will put an end to your friendship if it continues. You can always ask her what is her reason for doing it and why she is doing it.

They would no longer be my friend.

Well, there are times when you have to say "enough is enough."  You can be patient and forgiving. That is a good quality in a person, but don't let people abuse you or walk all over you.  At some point you need to say, "look, you have messed up a lot and because I care about you as my firend, I've overlooked it, but you're hurting out friendship and I'm getting tired of it. Respect me more or lose me as your friend."  Don't say "this is your last chance" because then it is only a matter of time... just let them know that you're getting tired of them being stupid.

Oh boy!! That's a touchy one.  First thing I would do is start off by letting her know that she is your friend and you don't want anything to come between you.  Sit her down and let her know you want to talk to her.  Then tell her you are her friend and you don't want anything to come between you and her.  Then tell her what has been happening. The tough parts are not coming across as a threat and letting her know you are sincere and really am talking to her about this because you value her as a friend.

Don't. If they hate you they don't want to be your friend.

ok all you half to do is to try to avoid them if u dont want to be friends any more.  or  you could try and fit in with them and try to be like them even if it is not like your self.  but if you dont wannt  to be friends just dont talk to them anymore.
