Losing a best friend.

    Okay,
    lately my best friend has been acting differently toward me and i don't understand why. Before summer we would hang out and talk on the phone like normal friends, but once summer began things started to change. I usually ride my bike to pick her up at summer school and we hang out, but she's been making strange excuses for us not to hang out. I never talk to her on the phone, maybe once every two weeks, if that. We never make plans to do things on the weekends like we used to. Now we never even talk on the weekends. I only see her for about 3 minutes a day because of summer school. I get this feeling she doesn't want to hang around me anymore. I don't want to lose her friendship. I've known her for 10 years, and we've been best friends since the day we met. Everytime i talk to her about why we don't hang out, and ask if something is wrong, she says, "no, i just can't hang out because my mom doesn't want me to" or "My legs hurt so i can't hang out today, i'm not even riding home". Summer is almost over and we've barely hung out. We don't even act like ourselves around one another anymore. Sometimes there is an awkward silence between us. I really need advice. I've tried talking to her, and telling her how i feel, but she acts as if nothing is wrong. What should i do?

    That happened to me last summer. Her reasons were always "I have no money", "I'm too tired" etc. Turned out I was "too depressed". We saw each other less and less during the summer until finally, when we started school, I rarely spoke to her. Now we don't talk at all until we have to. Which suits me. I saw the side of her I didn't like.

    Thanks you guys. I had a talk with her today and she said that this weekend we should hang out and talk about what has been going on. She told me she was sorry and that she has been treating a lot of people like s*** lately, and she is going to stop.

    i've had the same problem way to many times to count, and the best advice i can give u is to just let the friendship go for a week or so, there is either some problem she doesn't want u to no about or she's just getting bored with the friendship, and i'm sorry to tell u that but theres a good chance its true, just let it go for a while, trust me it can help a lot, i've been in this situation plenty of times and it'll hurt to let it go but sometimes thats what needs to be done, give her some time and she'll probly come around.
