me and my former friend had been buds since we were in the fifth grade. While transitioning into the ninth grade she ttly stopped talking to me. My mom says its because we have different life styles. when we were in the 5th grade we both went to a public school. but when i went into middle school my mom put me into private school, and she went on to another public school. When i was younger i never really cared for money and the glam life. But now im a teen and i do. my family tends to spend alot of money, and i get what i want when i want it. On the other hand my friends family does not hav alot of money. and she doesnt really have the chances in life that i do. And my mom says that she is jelous of me. I cant help that i boast alot, and hav alot of money. She should still like me as a friend right? i still have the same personality, and i havent changed. Shouldn't we still be friends? And what can i do to get us there?

People grow apart, and that is normal. Friends develop different needs, wants, and perspectives - then suddenly a friend isn't as important or wanted. Its sad and shame, but it has to happen as we get older. Two girls were inseparable as children, as they grew into high school one turned gorgeous and the other turned homely, and suddenly neither wanted to be around each other any more.

Have u ever had a friend that just stopped liking u for an unknown reason? <--- you know the reason she doesn't like you. You brag.
I cant help that i boast alot, and hav alot of money.<---part of that is true because you have nothing to do with the fact that your FAMILY has money but you do have a choice whether or not to brag. You chose to do this perhaps to make up for the fact that noone wants to be your friend for the right reasons.
She should still like me as a friend right? No she shouldn't. If she were smart she'd stay far away from a person like this.
i still have the same personality, and i havent changed. Shouldn't we still be friends? Again No. Apparently your exfriend saw the type of friend you are and found she was worthy of a true friend who doesn't have to brag and try to make her fell less than she is. She is now stronger and knows who she is, not for what her family has.
And what can i do to get us there? Appologize and quit being stuck up.

First off there is a reason it is just not known by you. It's good that you're happy for what your family has but others maintain in order to boast wouldn't you have to accomplish something? Have you? Seems like you've been given what you have, hence no reason to boast. It's likely she's not jealous but rather is tired of the boasting, when it comes to the financial situation she's not as lucky as you are and your boasting has likely severed the friendship.

well one thing is you boast alot and money is everything to you. why would your friend want to hear this, especially when she doesn't have the lifestyle you have. also you both went off to different schools. it is very likely she is jealous, and your boasting does not help. you need to call her and go out somewhere and talk about it. what happens is when people go off in different directions, they meet other friends, and the ones they had get left behind, many times.

You say you get what you want, when you want it and you get everything you want. Maybe she's just sick of you being a spoil brat. I had a friend just like you when I was younger and I was absolutely never jealous of her, because you know what, she had everything without doing anything for it, and I on the other had worked for everything I wanted.
She was spoiled and annoying about it. So maybe you're the one who needs a change of attitude. Maybe she just doesn't want to talk to you anymore because she likes other things. I think your mom shoud think before talking seems to me she thinks she's better than people who don't have a lot of money.

Yes, this has happened to me. This hurt me mentally too. Just try and be as nice as you can. If she is ignoring you, or hurting you in any such way, leave it! If you really want to know the reason she doesn't like you, go up to her at lunch or something and tell her you want to talk. Tell her you haven't changed, and ask her why she stopped liking you. Don't force the answer out of her if she doesn't want to talk. Remember, this probably isn't your fault!

There is ALWAYS a reason. you need to call her and be like Im not asking thatwe be freinds again, I just want to know what made it stop. you also need to stop bosting about the money you have. noone really likes that in a person let alone a friend so stop with that!

Stop rubbing your money in her face, You CAN help that you boast a lot. You're judging your friend based on her income. You are a bad friend.

Yep, but there is always a reason, it is just that you may never find out what it was, and on the other hand, if that is how they are, they are not deserving of your friendship. Put them behind you and move on, it is their loss.
