She has broken our friendship
My best friend has broken our friendship. She was a very good friend of mine but now we don’t talk to each other. Now I don’t like to go to school and this has also affected my studies. She also tries to make me feel jealous that I’m alone and she has friends. If I talk to anyone she creates misunderstandings between us. Why is she doing this? Please help.

Dear Srushti, I don’t know why your “best friend” has broken your friendship; you should have the courage to confront her and ask her why she is behaving like this. If you have made some mistake in dealing with her you can apologize. If not, try to find out the cause of her behaviour and clear any misunderstandings. If both of you have a good common friend, try to speak to her in the company of that friend who can help both of you to speak frankly. If a peaceful solution is not possible, it is better for you to choose someone else as your best friend.
