Got group trouble? When you're in a close group there are always the one bestie that you never get along with. To make matters worse, if you decide to stop being friends with one pal you could lose everyone. How do you show end a friendship without breaking up the group?

I'm in this group of six friends. But there's this one girl who we all turned against last school year. That's a long story; now she's back in the group. But she still acts immature and mean, especially to me. The two of us fight a lot, and we've ended up screaming at each other a lot.

The only reason we stop is because our other friends tell us to cut it out. I think, personally, we really don't like each other. Everything mean she's ever done to me I remember, and it's been building up inside of me. I'm not sure if I want to stop being "best friends" with her, because I don't want to break up the group. I'm really confused, and my feelings have been hurt for weeks now. Can you give me advice?

BFF Fix-it: You and your crew seem like you are pretty close. This girl most likely feels vulnerable since she's been kicked out of the group before. She may hold a grudge against you because of what happened the year before even though she still wants to be in the group.

Try talking to another bestie in your group and see how they feel about the way she is acting. If she is mean to you, stick up for yourself. If your group doesn’t stick up for you either then you might need to rethink who your friends are and are not. Better yet? Make a whole bunch of whole friends. Sure, having one clique of close chicas is great, but reach out to some new girls. It'll be refreshing to have someone else to hang with outside of the group without the drama.
