Is our friendship falling apart?

Since 7th grade, I have been friends with a girl named *Kate. She has always been the kind to gossip a lot, but most of all - Very uptight. Despite all of that, I considered her a close friend because I have always felt comfortable telling her basically anything and she was a good listener, however, I did find out as time went on that she was a obsessive liar, meaning that she lies like, all the time.

When we were in 9th grade, which was last year, she became a totally different person. She dressed different, acted different. All together, I thought she became a total fony. Anyways, I heard from a couple of my other friends that last year, she didn't like me and thought I was an absolute geek.

Now, it's even worse. She used to call me, IM me, etc - All the time. She never takes my calls anymore, never calls back and barely says hi to me in school. When I was trying to talk to her the other day, she was so stale and made it obvious that she didn't want to talk to me. What is my friend's deal? Does she really dislike me or going through a phase?

This happens as people grow up and change schools, jobs, towns. I had friends who did the same thing in high school. It may or may not be a phase. Just try to take the high road if she bad mouths you and don't stoop to her level. You may be friends again in the future.

In the mean time, try to find a new group of friends that you have more in common with. It won't be easy at first, but there are probably people at your school going through the same thing.

something like this happened 2 me 2. in 5th and 6th grade, me and my one friend were really close. then we started 2 grow apart in 7th. in 8th, last year, we were friends again, at least I thought so. she would only talk 2 me and hang out with me when she had no one else. then one day I was in the library. we had a free day and I only had 1 other friend in that class. she was absent. my other friend was hanging out with 'popular' people. they were walking around, I was on the computer. then she sat right next to me with her back towards me talking 2 her 'friends' all of a sudden I heard my name. the one boy who she was talkin 2 said 'dude, she's right behind u'. she turned around and looked at me, I pretended that I didnt hear her. then he said 'I think tha's the meanest thing I've ever heard' she hit him and said shut up. I stared at the screen in disbelief. thinking 'how could she do this to me'. I hated her after that. 2 this day she still doesnt know that I know about it. she thinks that I am her friend now, every once in a while she'll talk 2 me. everytime I look at her I remember that day, the day she had 2 talk about me 2 make other people like her, all the stuck up people. she has 'friends' now. if you can call them that. she's always fighting with one of her 'friends' and they all talk about her. so really I was her only true friend. I kinda feel bad 4 her sometimes.

sorry I really didnt answer your question. I think she just wants 2 be more popular. one day she'll realize that she made the wrong choice.
