but I changed schools at the end of tenth grade due to personal reasons. I have tried to preserve our friendship by calling, but it feels like i'm the one who's doing all the calling. She always cuts the conversations saying she has to study and what not. I really feel that if I don't call, she would just go on with her life as if I don't exist. The funny thing is, last year and the year before that, I used to call her my best friend. That was when we were both new to the school. Anyway, I wrote her a letter stating all of my feelings because I was too cowardly to tell her to her face. That if she wanted to continue being my friend she had to make an effort. But did I do the right thing?

But was there any other way I could have handled the situation?

I think you did. In fact, you've handled the situation quite well. Now you have to let it go if she doesn't respond. I hope she does.

It sounds like your best friend is no longer a best friend. If you are the one putting out all the effort for a friend ship, and she does't respond to your letter, then there are others that I'm sure is more willing to be a friend, then this one. Friendships are a two-way street, and involves two people, not one.

yes you handled it the right way, sounds like she wasn't making the effort...if she continues to act this way lose her and make a new best friend, in the end she will be the one hurting, make her jealous and have some fun with your own friends and let her see how it feels, life is short!!

If you weren't mean in the letter then yes.You are going to have many friends come in and out of your life.This is part of life.If she doesn't want your friendship then your better off not speaking to her anymore.You sound like a very good friend and she doesn't know what she is missing.Find someone that appreciates your friendship.Good luck

Sometimes people grow apart you can try and try all you want but if she is not making an effort too then the friendship is not going to work. You did the right thing and maybe it's time for you to make some new even better friends

With some people it's "out of sight, out of mind". Your "best friend" appears to be one of those people. You need to make new friends.
