Best Friend Breakup!

I have had the same, really good best friend forever really. This year though she has been doing a lot of stuff that really gets on my nerves. I had this party a couple months ago and even though I didn't want to invite her I did because we are friends and I figured we would get over it. We are both going to different high schools next year too so I have been trying to get to know other people that will be going to the same one as me. I have felt our friendship dying off and I'm not really so upset either. I figured I would just leave things up to God. Well about two weeks later she sent me a text out of the blue saying that we can't be best friends anymore and how she knew I would be mad and that I had to choose between a different girl I've been hanging around a lot lately or her. I haven't responded and I think I should do it in person but I'm just angry and hurt and I don't understand how this is what God would want for us. I just don't know how we could work this out, if I want to, or just what to feel. Please help!

About a week after she texted me this we talked about what was going wrong in our relationship. I had taken your advice about praying for our relationship, and based on where things are with us right now I think God didn't intend for me to hang around her anymore. She kinda gets on my nerves still but we go to different schools now so it's easier to deal with. I still kind of miss her but in a way I don't. It's hard to explain. I realize that even though I was really hurt at the time that it was for the best because she did me more harm than good. Thanks for the support <3. (By the way I'm 15) Thanks for the support and prayers.

I know exactly how you feel. I can't really explain, but, you should talk to God, pour out your heart to Him, and talk to your friend. Pray, read the Bible, and talk to your friend.

I have a friend who I've been best friends with since 3rd grade, but this year, in 7th grade, she's been doing stuff that bothers me. And like you, if I have people over for my birthday I don't want to invite her but I do. And it doesn't bother me much that our friendship has been "dying off" either. However, she hasn't texted me the same thing she texted you. As for how you don't see how that's what God would want for you, maybe she would have been a bad influence on you later on. Or maybe it's just a sign that she wouldn't have been a good best friend; after all, she said you had to choose between her and someone else-not the kind of thing a best friend should do. Honestly, I'm not sure what I would say, but it would probably be something like "I'm sorry I haven't been hanging out with you as much, but ________ is a really good friend, too, and I like her a lot." You could also explain that you want someone to know going into high school. Ask God what to say and do, and you could be surprised by what he tells you! I'll pray for you, and good luck!
