I had a similar thing happen to me when I was in high school.
A girl and I were best friends until the moment we entered our freshmen year at high school. It was like she suddenly became too "good" to hang out with me. I didn't really have anyone else that I talked to, so it was very upsetting for me and hard to deal with.
What I did (and what I suggest you do) is confront her. Maybe invite her over to your house or meet her somewhere where the two of you can be alone without any distractions. Tell her how you feel about the way she's been treating you, but try not to be mean about it. Mention specific things she's done to hurt your feelings; it's possible that she really doesn't realize the extent of what she's doing.
If you're not into face-to-face confrontations, then write a letter to her. Explain in detail why you're writing and that you'd still like to be friends with her, but only if she's willing to make changes (like, not making fun of you). Leave the note in a place where she's sure to find it and will (hopefully) read it to herself (her locker, mailing it to her house, etc).
After the initial confrontation, let it be. If she really wants to keep your friendship, then she'll be the one to make the next move. However, she might just shrug it off and think that friendship with you is no longer something she thinks she wants.
If she steps forward and wants things to change, go along with it. Do things together and with groups of friends, and if she starts making fun of you again or making you feel uncomfortable, gently remind her (by either saying something, or giving her "The Look").
But if she decides not to deal with the issue, then unfortunately, you're better off finding other people to share your friendship with. Try groups or clubs at your school or in your community (I joined a county-wide symphony orchestra and made several friends that way). Find something that interests you; maybe a debate team, sport team, or something similar.
Sooner or later your "friend" may realize what she's missing and may want to try the friendship again, but that's in your hands and for you to decide. Just don't let the cycle start over again.
I wish you luck!

sounds like you two have moved apart, its now a horrible thing, just typical, instead of clinging to the remains of the friendship, branch out, try to meet someone else that you can be bff's with. good luck.

Talk to her and tell her how you are feeling and what you see. The best way to over come a problem is to face it head on. If she is not willing to listen to you and talk things over, then she is not the best friend that you think she is.

first talk to her about this. If she tells you she would change, actually believe her. and if she doesnt change and keeps up with this non sense leave her becuase its unfair and its hurting both of you
