Is it normal to have this happen to a friendship?

I've known a friend for about 4 years now and we were the closest. Then we considered eachother as best friends. It was a real good time:). Then, as time passed she made it clear that she was moving away to some other school:(. She said she wanted to make a good last impression. (which I understand) Ever since then she started to just forget about me and she started to drift off into this mode of being extremely social and public. She began to make other friends, claiming they were better than me. Those friends were the same people that she gossiped over-the-roof about. And those are the same people that are very popular and pretty and perfect. Now see, I don't really have any of the friendship too much. Well I do but they never understood me as much as Alissa understood. Now I feel terrible because I confronted her about it and I wouldn't talk to her very often to make her realize the pain she was causing. Now I know what your thinking, I really tried to include myself but I just ended up looking like a stupid poop face. Should i just move on? She's on my volleyball team and we coincidentally run into her a lot. I can't avoid her and I don't want to. I care about her but I guess she never got a clue. Im really very upset over this and i dread going to school. I just dont know what to do. So you've heard my story and I wondering, it this normal?

    Unfortunately, it was crap like this that has lead me to not be friends with many females anymore. I just got so sick of the drama. Honestly, I would move on and find a better friend.

    I would wait for her to appologize to you, she seems pretty immature, and you have nothing to appologize for. If she doesn't come around, then it's time to move on. :) The same thing happened to me when I was in intermediate school.

    Can I ask how old you are? Sadly friends come and go out of your life at all ages, I had a best friend all through infant and primary school, (or first and second school in other countries) then we drifted in secondary school (high school) now I'm 26, I had a group of best friends for 14 years and I now have an illness that there is no cure for, and they don't bother with me much anymore cause I get quite sick sometimes and they don't support me, they see eachother and have lunches and nights out like we ALL used to do together but now I'm not really involved, and I'm heartbroken, but it happens and you'll make new friends, if you try very hard you will end up looking silly, but if you have to try so hard in the first place than this girl isn't worth your time anymore. Look elsewhere :-)

    It happens, it sucks, and it may not change if u try to have a "heart to heart" with her. it hurts but its not the end of the world, people come and go. maybe when she matures a little she'll realize how bitchy she was, but till then, dont hold ur breath on her.

    "She began to make other friends, claiming they were better than me. Those friends were the same people that she gossiped over-the-roof about. "

    It sounds like she's not very mature if all she does is gossip about other people - especially when she claims they are her friends.

    Not to mention the whole "they are better than you" stuff. What is she, 12?

    You two should talk, and be open with each other and fix this!
