annoyed at friend

    Ok this is big stupid teenage girl problem but annoying none then less.

    Basically the girl I considered my best friend's been acting really weird lately.
    I always knew she was quite shallow at times but she was always so genuine with me I'd've trusted her with my life. She was with me through the usual growing pains; boys, looks, home life, study etc, and I was there for her. But she was always the more outgoing one with all the fellas after her with me "the shy single one".

    But lately she's been distant, hardly ever around anymore skipping class unresponsive to text msgs and phone calls.
    So understandably in class I've got a lot closer to my other friends and in this time frame I've been going out with a new boyfriend and inherited all his friends too.
    So basically now when she does come in she licks up to one of my other friends (who she couldnt stand a year ago) showerin her with compliments, hasn't really two words to say to me except to put me down in that "only messin" type way and if we do speak she pounces on anything to do with my boyfriend lookin for cracks in our relationshp where there aren't any.
    Any night or day out has to be all about her in anyway, positive or negative it's beginning to wreck my head and my fella and his friends have all asked whats up with her. She just basically thinks of herself only and expects everyone else to pick up after and make allowances for her.
    I know she has some troubles at home and the stress of the LC is prob gettin to her, particularly as my grades have risen above hers in the past year and being "the best" is a big deal to her.
    I dunno if she jealous of me or what but What really gets me is her swinging attitude towards my other friend although I really should be grateful they actually get on now.

    Should I a)talk her and tell her what I think of her attitude?
    b) ask her is she ok or have I p*ssed her off?
    c) Grow up and move past her?
    d) other?

    You've grown apart. It happens. That's not to say that you can't still have a friendship, if you're both open to the fact that it may be a different, more casual friendship.

    Talk to her about it.

    I vote for D. I think you should just tell her (in a nice way) that you have noticed a difference in your friendship. Just let her know you still care about her but that it is hard for you to be friends with her when she acts like this. It may not fix the problem, but at least you will get it off your chest.

    Sounds to me like her her spotlight was stolen and is trying to find a new less popular friend so that she can be the "fabulous" one again. I f she's like that then it's her loss by the sound of things. Every once in a while offer her an olive branch, if she doesn't accept it then it's her problem, and remain friendly.
