At the beginning she was shy, but polite and I (recently having been through a family ordeal) was aggressive and outspoken. Being so shy, I was one of her only friends (and perhaps her closest friend?)Now that things have fallen into place, I've calmed down, but I can't help but notice that my friend has become more like the old me. At first I thought that maybe since I've calmed down, I just noticed her a lot more. However, I know she never swore before, and now she swears nearly everyday. She's also extremely moody (again, like the old me). Just last week she cussed out another student for " talking too loudly" when in fact the other student was having a leisurely conversation with their buddy. She feels badly at the end of the day, but it's beginning to happen more and more often, and to people who are closer to her. (Today she told a friend who was having a conversation with someone to "shut up" in a rude tone when I was telling her a story) At first my friend (another person who has grown closer to her) and I thought there might be a problem in her life. Perhaps a family matter? Or school stress as we're nearing the end of secondary school? We find her increasingly irritating, and I myself feel like she's a completely different person. She's so different that I can't even bring myself to want to hang out with her anymore... What's going on?

 the only person that knows what really is going on is well, your friend who changed.
my advice is to confront her about it in a nice, calm, mature way. That way, she is less likely to attack and swear at you.
