Dear Dr. M,
Nowadays, my best friend is always letting me down, because when we have to separate into groups, she always sticks with other friends and leaves me out. Even if I ask her if I can be in the same group with her, she just says, "Sorry but no," and I feel really hurt. Should I break up with her or still be best friends?

Dear Samantha,
I think your friend answered the question for you. If the two of you were still best friends, she wouldn't be treating you that way, and you would be the first one she included in her group. If you want, you can try talking to your friend about how she's been acting or you can decide to just let her go. You're the one who has to make that decision. |
