A female United Kingdom age 22-25, *erryblaster writes:

Well i have a best friend who ive been best friends with for around 10 years. We have been really close. We go to different schools.

A few months ago she became friends with a girl lets say her name is N

My friend lets say her name is L, doesnt ever give me the chance to meet N because she thinks i will go off with her like L went off with me in primary school when i had a best friend called R

Im starting to feel replaced, and everytime i ask L to come out shes either with N or her cousins.

She always makes excuses to not come out with me. Her parents are quite weird and always tell her to hang out with school friends like (N), and not with me.

I went the caravan with L and all she ever did was ring or text N, i told her to get off her phone and she never does.

She told me her nan doesnt like me but her grandad does.

I feel like the friendship is ending and whatever i do she always rejects me. I dont want to lose her as a friend.

I have trouble with starting new friendships.

I dont know what to do to replace her, like she's replaced me. Please help.

aunt honesty agony auntIt sounds to me like she has falling away from you, which is very tough on you, but am afraid this happens in life. Sweetie the best thing for you to do is be friendly to people at school, get to know them. Also if there are any clubs or hobbies you like or classes then that is also a good place to make friends.

Honeypie agony auntYou are in school, yes?

So that is a GOOD place to start making friends.Start slow and small by saying hi and talking to people. See whom you have things in common with and whom you don't.

Sounds to me like L doesn't WANT to be friends any more but she doesn't want to hurt you either, so she does this half-arsed job of being "friends". That is really not a good friend.

Do you like sports? Are you active in any of the clubs at school? If not? maybe that is something to consider?
