Friend Treats Me Like A Little Kid?

I'm a high school freshman at a new school, and made a new friend through a sport. She helped me quite a bit, as she was obviously much farther ahead of me. We know each other pretty well now, and are playing another sport together. She's one of my favorite people, but has a tendency, but as a tendency to act like I'm a small child. Is this healthy?

    I would not care to be treated like this. I have had friends who do this to me, and eventually I just put them out of my life.

    Here is something you could do. Sometime when you have been together and she hasn't done the patronizing thing, mention that you really had a good time because you didn't treat you like a child. And don't be afraid to make yourself unavailable once in a while.
