Friendless Frenemies

 Since 1st grade, I've only had one friend, and we've been linked at the hip. We've been in 6th grade for a while, and she's becoming distant. She started hanging out with the popular kids, and she's totally ignoring me during school, but after school she acts like nothing is wrong. What should I do? She's kind of my only friend.

Dear Friendless Frenemies,

 You might want to find other people to hang out with. Sure, it might be difficult, but nothing is impossible. I'm sure that there are people who would love to be your friend! Your friend also might be feeling the pressure of fitting in at middle school, so give her some time to cool off and ask her about it in a few weeks. One final thing that I really hate to say but is quite possible, is that maybe your friend is trying to move away from you. Good luck!
Sincerely,
It's A Secret
