Should I just let these people out of my life?

I've been friends with the same girls since elementary school. We are now juniors in college, we stayed good friends for the first two years of college, but now they're starting to drift.

One got a boyfriend, and is now doing drugs because he does them. She's dropped out of college and works at Outback, and that's pretty much her life plan now. I haven't heard from her since October.

Another friend has a boyfriend, is doing fine, but hasn't talked to me in months, other than to let me know she got a haircut.

Another friend has an addiction to something (not drugs, something else), and I confronted her about it. She said she was going to get help, and that we should keep talking about it. She no longer is the one to call me to do anything. She isn't even coming back to our college, and didn't say anything about it until I asked her. She said she wasn't sure about fin. aid, and would let me know. She still hasn't let me know and it's a week into the semester.

The thing that I am really angry about is that, I have a boyfriend and still manage to hang out with my friends. These girls obviously lose interest in their friends when they get one.

Also, I've been dating my boyfriend for two years. He just left for Iraq. These girls know this, they knew the date he left, and they still haven't gotten in touch with me just to see how I'm doing. I sent them Merry Christmas text messages to see if they would say anything back, and I got nothing.

Should I just give up on them? We used to be such good friends, but now they're all making bad decisions and neglecting me when I really need good friends.

Yeah, pretty much you and your ex-friends are heading in different directions in life. Sadly, when people change and so does the dynamics of friendship. Since you no longer feel the connection, its best to cut ties. They鈥檙e not interested with your life 鈥?start distancing yourself away from them.

Give uyp they arent as interested in keeping the realtionship alive as you are.They have moved on maybe you should too

sorry hope I helped

I think you should let them go. You have obviously been trying to maintain communication with them. I would concentrate on yourself right now and making new friends that will care about you no matter what.

Friends do grow apart when they get older and go their separate ways. Maybe one day you can revive your friendship with them.

It is very painful at times, but some people have to be let go.

Let them go! They obviously are not going the same direction you are. All they will do is drag you down to where they are. It sucks how life can turn out but sometimes you have to do what's best for you.
