OK, so this is about my friendship with someone, not quite what the other topics are about, but I wasn't sure where to put this. Me and my best friend have been friends for about 6 years. Obviously, we became very close, we've lived round each others houses for several days, she was the first person who I told I was bi, she's been on holiday with us and loads of stuff. Recently, say in the last 4 months however, she's changed a lot. She's a year older than me and has joined Network which is part of the Scouting Association for people aged between 18-25 and as they usually meet in a pub, she's been out drinking with them, despite not quite being 18 yet. She also works on a Scout campsite now and so has abviously made a lot of new friends. Let me make this clear, I'm not jealous at all. The thing is, they have changed her a lot, they're very different from me. They have encouraged her to start smoking, she's done drugs with them, she's been drinking more and she's been caught shoplifting (not anything important, but it's the principal). I really miss her and although we've started seeing more of each other again, she's still not the same. I've also started to resent the person she's become and am worried that our friendship is ruined. I've tried talking to her but I didn't feel much better and I'm too scared to have a full out argument with her, which I know will happen soon if I'm not careful. Does anyone have any ideas of what I should do?
well you just put it into words quit nicely, so use those words to disguss it with her, realizing that not all things are as bad as they seem & she may enjoy thgem & feel theyr good for ger so dont judge too harshly but be understanding but also cleart about what u dont feel good about writting an email maybe easier then confronting face to face, cause fsce to face the emotional reactions of eachother can build upon eachother & quiclkly go from showing concern to argument to hatred & betrayal but writting , & reading, you have a easier time keeping the emotions in check & hearring the entire message as its meant to be heard. so tell her exactly how u feel & why without judging her..or her freinds for theyre actions , only show concern foir how your relationshps affected (and how she is as well)
