It's ok to break up with a boyfriend or a girlfriend and not want to ever see them again and usually no one forces the issue and accepts it.. so why cant you do the same with friends??
You can fall out of love with and grow out of friendships too cant you?

Boyfriends and girlfriends are relationships. The same goes with friends. The difference is the dating relationships are set at a more intimate level and friendships are usually less complex. Still, all relationships can change and end... and I have "broken" it off with friends before. It could be a matter of loosing touch or it could be something more sinister... like them always steeling your pop corn during the movie. The thing that makes breaking it off with friends a little more comlicated is that sometimes when you terminate a friendship... you also terminate a network of friends... those who are loyal to the friend you severed ties with. That is what makes it difficult.. I think...

Wow I have never broken up a friendship. Usually the friends I don't want to talk anymore I ignore. And You could become friends after having a gf bf relationship only if you are able to see them with other people

Yes; this is true: but it usually is followed by something that happened that caused a `rift' and then you automatically want as much distance as possible between the two who were once close. But it's up to you, the one who feels that way, to find a way to let the friend know that you don't want the friendship anymore.
Good friends are like gold-dust::rare, and special. So, think about what caused the rift first: perhaps it is able to be mended?

I have broken up with plenty of friends. I chose to have people in my life that I can trust and who treat me like I should be treated. If they mess up I may forgive them, but if they do it again, they're gone. No phone calls, emails or texts. But if you take that route, make sure you mean it. I have also stopped talking to people for a while. Maybe a couple of months or even years and then rekindle the relationship after some time has past. Keep in mind that it is natural for friends or people in relationships to argue.

If a person is a good friend you may grow apart, but the friendship continues, Have old friend I visit occasionally,exchange cards, birthday, Xmas, thinking of you, and I cherish their friendships.. In conclusion; you don't break up with friends if you value friends

You can and you will - you outgrow people or the friendship was just a situational thing.
It's actually very similar to a romantic breakup, except if you are a girl there is always a sweater or something that your friend borrowed that you will never see again.

Certainly, you can change and grow apart in interests and things that once held you together. You can move on from any relationship, but the thing to ask yourself is are you supposed to learn something from this relationship and are you running away before you have learned your life lesson. Once you have comfortablely answered this question for yourself you can choose to remain as or move on so it is better not to have regrets in regards to friends. It is a quality in your character to have friends for a life time so don't be too quick to throw them away..

You sure can!!
I am no longer in contact with so many friends. I have learned that at the moment you can't see yourself without this person in your life--at the moment.
but we all change, and grow apart. I have only a handful of friends that I have had for 5 ++ years. Everyone else just drops off of my radar.
I have many friends right now who will probably not be here forever. But right now in my life, they are perfect comrades to my life.
