How to I tell my "best friend" that she is being too clingy? We are neighbors, our parents are best friends, we go to the same church/school, we mostly have all the same friends ect... So every day at school she follows me at lunch and break. She asked me to go every where with her and if I say no she won't go. She also sites very very close and sometimes leans on me at lunch and when we are watching a movie or something. She gets mad over the littlest things. The other day I wouldn't give her a piece of gum and she begged and begged but I wouldn't give her a piece and she was all "we are you being a jerk about this?!" PLEASE HELP! What do I say

I know exactly how you feel. Iv'e been in the same situation as you. But luckily, I just told the girl I was older than her so she needed to stay away before I got her in trouble. Maybe when she's at your house have a talk with her about it. Ask her if she thinks she's being too clingy. And if she thinks she isn't, tell her how you feel. If you don't get through to her, things will get worse! Trust me. Good Luck!
I think you should come right and say "(friends name)I know we all best friends and all, but maybe we shouldn't hang out so often. I mean, we can hang out, just not every single minute every single day. I just need some me space." or you know, just something like that. Just make sure she understands that you still want to be friends, its just that you don't want her to be with you all the time. If you're having a hard time, you should ask your mom or a trusted adult for help. They can either give you advice, or help you tell your friend. If you dont do it soon. it'll only get worse!
