I had never really had to make friends before, so I panicked and became friends with a couple of random people.Now that it's later in the year I've come to realize that the friends I've got now, don't really share the same interests as me and I find myself being bored when i hang out with them.There are a couple of people in my class that are more like me and I've started hanging out with them.The reason I decided enough was enough was when my supposed best friend, let's call her G decided she wanted to be friends with this girl, lets call her J, who she was horrible to at the start of the year. The trouble is that J doesn't really want to be friends with G again, and now she's stuck to me like a old bandage.I don't want to be mean to my old best-friend by just dropping her, because I'm bored of her. But she constantly bugs me by talking about J all the time and following me around.I feel really bad that this is happening, and I know it's my fault for rushing into friendships to quickly. But I really need some help on letting her down gently, without just ditching her.Please help????

The best thing to do would be to include her in things that you like to do, that she may not. If she is following you around like a bad smell and you are doing things and discussing things that may not interest her with your new clan, she will in turn find you boring and hopefully find friends with the same interests as her. This will eliminate any awkward moments or discussions between you two and according to your lingering friend, you just have other interests and she will pursue her own.
Good Luck
