Yes I do. I had a friend who was a terrible parent. It was awful to see. On top of that she slept around a lot, got herself pregnant a lot and had abortions. It was sickening. I dropped her.

Yep. In High School i got to be really good friends with someone who had no one else as a frind. she found someone else and now she only hangs around her. i felt totally used because she was just around me to not be a "loner" Now, if that person is away, she tries to come back and use me again. we arent frinds anymore

friends are awesome to have. Toxic friends are not. If they are toxic (bring all sorts of drama and juvenile crap into our friendship) they are out. I say that, but if they really need me, I will try to help them... to a point. But, they may not drag me down. Been there and done that!

I have this going on right now, actually. I had a friend in college, and three of us were all best friends. This girl was even my roomate for 3 of the years. Then, after college and we all split and go our ways, she suddenly stops all contact with us...we didn't have a "falling out" or anything...it's just so strange, and it hurts too. She was supposed to be one of the bridemaids in my other best friends wedding, while I was the maid-of-honor, and she didn't talk to the bride at ALL before the wedding so she was forced to drop her. I've tried text celling, text messaging, emailing, writing letters....nothing. I hate it, mostly because it was just no closure whatsoever...

Yep a couple. One of them was a really good friend in HS and she got with a boy who decided he was jealous of ALL of her friends because he felt like we horned in on her affections, like she didn't have enough to go around. She stopped talking to me for two years; she e-mailed me with an apology once, but never responded when I replied to her, and sent me congratulations when I got married, but it all felt very much like she just felt guilty and wanted to clear her conscience. The other one was in HS as well. We'd been friends since kindergarten, and due to some unfortunate circumstances in my own home, I moved in with her...unfortunately, she'd done a lot of changing and hadn't kept me informed because she felt like I was judgemental (I wasn't...merely concerned). Once I lived with her, I realized she was sleeping around, drinking and driving, and doing drugs. I worried constantly and simply couldn't take her cavalier attitude anymore, so I moved out; we had a huge fight and haven't been friends since. To this day I don't answer calls from restricted numbers because her mother kept calling me and bitching at me about stupid things, but she was always mean. It was a really ridiculous situation, and a sad loss of a friend, but she'd changed a LOT and it had gotten to the point where I didn't even like her anymore. Ah well, I have plenty of good friends now :)

yeah i had allot of good friends i lost from them getting married.

I have some people who I used to be close to and am not now. As people age, they can "grow apart," due to many reasons from changes in politics or religious preferences, (which some people insist be the same to be your friend), to changes in what they like to do. In my opinion, if I like someone as a friend, I like them for WHO they are inside and that does not usually change just because they change churches, political affiliations, move away or change the way they dress or the kind of car they drive. If we have a disagreement and they are a true friend, I do my very best to preserve the friendship. If I cannot, I respect their right to go another way. I never sever a friendship unless the person has betrayed me or has changed the basic inner things I found appealing to me in them in the first place. If that changes, sometimes I decide it is my best interest and theirs to part company. But it is not something I do any easier than it is to make a true friend in the first place.

Yes I grew up many didnt

Sometimes as you go through life, friends you have made along the way no longer travel the same path as you. During my working life I have made friends with lots of people, some of whom are the age of my kids! Once we were not thrown together in the workplace any longer the friendships died a natural death - that's just how it is. How on earth would you manage your social life if you stayed friends with everyone who was important to you at some stage?

I had a friend who decided, at the age of 21, that it was a good idea to start smoking both cigarettes and illegal substances. She then decided it was a good idea to sleep with as many men as possible (occasionally she had 3 on the go at once), and told me that I should not be with my boyfriend any more because she didn't like him. The final straw was when she tried to seduce the boyfriend of another of our friends, while his girlfriend was in the latter stages of pregnancy. With friends like that, who needs enemies?
