A problem with friends? Please answer? 10 points :) ?
I've known my friend Sarah ever since we were 4 years old. We became best friends, and we couldn't get enough of each other! Now, we're in middle school, and things are changing. I have a new best friend, Taylor, who I feel I can open up to more (which is weird, since I've only known her for about 2 years), and Taylor makes me feel happy and when I'm with her we have so much fun. But now Sarah is getting jealous. Sarah is still a good friend, but I've been spending a lot of my time with Taylor.. what should I tell Sarah? (She thinks I hate her..)

You don't really need to tell Sarah anything. She's already starting to notice that Taylor is more of a best friend to you. It's good that you haven't ditched Sarah. But in order to make everything a little better, I think you should hang out with both Sarah and Taylor.... you know a little girl time.... and just have a little bonding time with both of them. THat way Sarah will know that you're still there for her. :) Hope this helps

Just tell her that you don't. You like Taylor (as a friend) and that's it. Sure you may start hanging out with her more than Sarah, but you two have been best friends since you were 4. People change, and make new friends, but that doesn't mean they have to let go of their old friends.

This happens as you get older. Sometimes people change. Just tell Sarah that you want to be friends with the both of you. You ever hear this phrase - 2 is company 3 is a crowd. Unfortunately Taylor may be left out a bit but that is something she will have to deal with, right? Just be nice to Taylor and remember it's ok to have other friends. Just be nice about it. Good luck.

Oh, middle school friendships, I remember them well. It sounds like you've moved on to a new BFF, but your other friend hasn't. The best thing to do is remain friends with both girls, and don't feel guilty that you spend more time with Taylor. As long as you are nice to Sarah, I don't see the problem. If you are excluding Sarah, then that's obviously wrong, but it doesn't sound like you are doing that. All of these issues are a part of growing up. Sarah will grow from it, and perhaps it will enable her to branch out and make more friends.

This type of thing happened to me. You can't expect you and Sarah to stay friends forever, it happens a lot of the time when people grow up together they just grow apart.
Whatever you do, don't make the mistake I did and stop being friends with her or freeze her out and spend all your time with Taylor. Try and branch out and make a group of friends with you and her and Taylor.
Although, people said that to me and I thought that wouldn't happen. Try to split yourself between them and other people too. Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
And what to tell Sarah, tell her you think you've both been growing apart but it won't stop you still being really good friends.

Sarah doesn't hate you, just invite her to hang out with you and Taylor sometime! She won't feel legt out and you will feel better about your friendship :) good luck

i had the same thing happen to me. it's hard for you and your friend that obvious. maybe talk to her about it? introduce her to your other friend and don't let her feel left out. hope that helps:)
