if she really wants to be just friends and u can get over the fact that that is all it's going to be then don't just throw her to the curb.  Friends don't do that.\n\nFigure out what will it be like if you 2 are friends and how it will affect you.  Communication is the key here.

Just tell her its a toxic friendship and you are tired of the way she treats you and that you don't think that your friendship is making you into the type of person you'd want to be. Be honest and either it will stop or you weren't meant to be freinds.

tell her that u don't want to be friends with her anymore. u don't want a friend that jokes around too much and goes to far and threatens to beat u up and ur friend and does beat y'all up. tell her that a TRUE FRIEND doesn't do that and that a TRUE FRIEND is suppossed to respect others' feelings and not beat them up. u can tell ur counselor and or/ someone else that u really trust. GOOD LUCK!

ok, there is no way to say it w/o hurting him too much. but if you want you can try this..a key point to remember is not to sound too angry. try to keep your calm and hope that it all turns out well...\n\n" i think that you are changing and i don't know who you are anymore. i don't think that we are in the same page anymore  and i think is best for me and for you to stop being friends. it was nice while it lasted but like i said we are in two different pages. i hope that you can understand. i wish you the best."\n\ni hope that this helps out. i wish you the best of luck.

Hi\n\n   If he is your friend like you stated please do not ignore him because that is not what suppose it friends do. I would simply say just talk to him have a serious one on one chat and let him know you do not view him in a way which can lead to anything but pure friendship. Hopeful he will be mature enough to understand that friendship is all you desire out of this relationship. \n  \nNow on the other hand if he ends up being a DICK about it you can just simply cut him off and then ignore him. I hope I helped

i have a friend doing the exact same thing. dump her. but only if she's a bit(h. if she's nice, don't. but if you deside to (and you totally can) don't put the blame on anyone. Just say you don't like how the friendship has gone, and your really not comftordable with the situation. so you think it best if you don't hang out anymore. tell her that, and tell her your leaving the friendship with overall good feelings, and that you like her, but that you really just need to end it, and leave it at that. she doesn't need any other reasons, Don't put the blame on her, or you, otherwise she will be mean about it.

Don't break a friendship, but don't let them do it again. And let them know it. The rest is up to them. You don't need to take the whole responsibility for the friendship, if they don't take it too.

Well this is going to sound really cliche, but if they are hurting your feelings then they probably aren't true friends.  But I bet you they don't have many other friends either, and they don't want to lose you as a friend.  \n\nIt's hard to know exactly what to say without knowing specifically what the problem is, but you might try saying "could you please stop" then explain why what they are doing is making you upset.  Here comes another cliche: if they don't stop hurting your feelings then you need to find new friends.

Set the both of them up to meet you somewhere like the park or mall or somewhere and set them down and tell them that you cannot do this anymore. You are not going to be the go between for them anymore. You love them both but they are ruining what could be a good friendship. If they care anything about you they will either find a way to get along or atleast lay off of you. \n\nYou cannot make your friends like each other but you can make them respect that you consider both of them your friends and do not want to lose them but you will walk if something doesnt change.

If this person was a true friend, if they are aware they are hurting you, they would stop doing it and appologize.\n\nTherefore, discuss your feelings and work it out.  If nothing changes, this person is NOT a friend, and you can feel free to stop the relationship.

just tell that person how u feel and never talk to them again just walk away

YOu should try and get both of your friends together to try and talk about the problem they have with each other like try being a peer mediator.  And if they refuse to do so then just simply tell them i friends with both of you i refuse to take either side and say you don't want to get involved

okay , if you value her friendship, you need to withdraw from her and give her some room, don't keep on pushing and pushin coz all you'll do is push her futher. obviously she is hurt. \n\nwrite the following:\n\ndear\n\nI have been really upset about not having your friendship and realized what a jerk i have been, if i could undo time , i wud turn theclock back and restore our friendship, i do not expect you to forgive me , however i would feel heaps better if you did and i am sure you might too. give it a shot.\n\nif that fails then try\n\n\n"dear ...\n\nlook you slimy little bi*ch, i said i was sorry and all you do is lift your nose each time I talk, i think you can get fu***, and in doing so i hope you get fu*** real bad, now go crawl back under that rock you crawled from under!\n\nyour's ...\n\n( how's that ? ... not good )
