Guys i need advice!

Okay...so i have this 'best friend,' who i have known practiaclly my whole life.
Recently i am noticing that she is very selfish, i have noticed she uses me for money, clothes, cigerrattes, pretty much anything i have and she doesn't.
And then when she has them and i don't, she makes excuses not to come and see me.
Once i was feeling really depressed about some personal crap and i was talking to her on msn and she asked me what was wrong and i said i was feeling down so she told me to go round to her house and we would have a talk, make me feel better and when i went she said 'I'm going out now.'
She also seems jealous that i have other friends besides her and that i am finally starting to get my life back on track.
But when she needs help she expects me to go running even though she is hardly ever here for me.
I have wanted to let go of this friendship before but haven't, i think it's because it's been the one constant in my life whereas everything else has changed or is changing and i'm afraid to let go of the final part of my old life.
What do i do?
Do i tell her exactly what i think of her and move on? or do i keep quiet to avoid arguments?

And you call her a friend. Maybe in the past, but seems you have to look up the word in a dictionary. She doesn't seem like a friend. Let her know what's on your mind. She will probably act like you insulted her, then she will be outraged, then she will make you think you were in the wrong. And if you listen to her, you will be in the same boat you are now.

Sometimes, we grow up and out of past friendships. It looks like you have outgrown this one. Next time she calls, tell her that you are busy, and have to go. Then call up a new friend and go for coffee or a movie.

To hang on to something that is hurting you, can cause callouses on your hands as well as your heart.

Peace and Happiness

i am going through the same thing...
my bff...i met her a year go and we grew close really fast and she was as a sister to me...after a shiort time she started using me and ion the summer a "cool" girl wanted to be her friend so she ran toher and forgot about me...and whenever the girl couldnt meet with her she called me until i started saying no i cnat meet with you and i stopped giving her money and she had no way of using me...now at lunch her "friend" doenst have the same lunch as we do and she starts telling me i am her best friend...i have already learnt not to be a fool and so should you...i am friends with her but not as close as i was before...i think my poem memories will always be memorries will help you..

it will take you time to realize how much you need to change...the faster the less shell use you
but dont get into a huge fight with her you could talk to her but dont fight...after all she ws your best friend..

Thanks guys. I think i'm gonna tell her how i feel, probably in a poem or letter and see how she reacts and if she doesn't realise i have the right to feel the way i do, i guess it's time to move on.

she doesnt seem like a frined if she is doing things like that to you.,..but n e way good luck:) xoxo

I hope you get it resolved.
