writes:So here's the thing, I have these two best friends *Karissa* and *Jason*. I've known both of them since Kindergarten. The three of us drifted apart. Then, in the 8th grade, Jason and I reconnected and became best friends. We stayed this way all through our freshman year in high school. His sister even drove us to school that year. Also that year, I reconnected with Karissa and we became insepearble. We're now the best of friends, totally attached at the hip. But then, all of a sudden, in 10th grade, (last year), the two of them started to hang out too. I thought that it would be good, so the three of us could hang out and do things all together. But then it became like I didn't exist in Jason's eyes. It's like he got a new best friend and doesn't even care about me anymore. We were so close but then he just acts like all he cares about is being friends Karissa like he has no room for other friends. And he always has to push it in my face when he's hanging out with her and I'm not. Her parents love him and it bothers me. It's been bothering me forever. It hurts that he hardly acknowledges me anymore. We still talk and hang out some times but it's not the same. Karissa and I are still very close but I just feel like he just wants to forget about me now just becasue him and Karissa are best friends again. Am I jealous becasue she spends more time with him and I feel like I'll lose her as a friend if this keeps happening? Or am I just upset because i feel like I've lost a friend in Jason? HELP!

So what. Stop clinging to those people. go meet new people and always keep in touch with the old. they love you but they want to expand their territories. do the same while remaining friend with them the way they want it to be.
