Should I try to fix it?

So I have this friend in my 6th grade class and she was being mean to one of my younger friends in 5th grade whom I've known since birth. I told her that I didn't care what was happening just pls stop and I also started hanging out with this girl I used to be friends with. Still, we got in a fight but now we are friends again so I also think she may be jealous but at lunch today she said she doesn't want to be friends anymore should I fix it or forget about her because I have a lot of other and better friends?

Ask her why she doesn't want to be friends? If she doesn't have a good reason then she's not worth sacrificing your peace of mind. I'd let it go. Especially if you're in 6th grade (I'm in London so I think that's yr 7?) you've only just started your journey, you've got plenty of friends left to make :smile:
ok, I will ask her any more advice also I will let you all now what she says.

As a year 11 UK student (I think that's the American 10th grade?) I suggest talking to her about how you feel and why, and then hearing her out as well. I know I regret really quickly and harshly breaking off a lot of friendships when I was younger, so my main advice is that even if you two decide to stop being friends, you should end it on a positive/ neutral note. There's no meed to be friends but you can still be friendly with each other like how you would a stranger or ordinary classmate.

I hope things work out! Don't stress too much, you'll make new friends quick as long as you're well mannered and friendly, so sometimes you have to let some friends go as well- especially if they can be a bit toxic and stress you out 💕

Definitely agree with this!! Probably should've made it more explicit sorry.

I'm a big believer in closure and that's why I think there should be a discussion on why she wants to end the friendship. Hatred is heavy so even if you go your separate ways, end it on a good note. No hard feelings.

(Yr 12 student here and I too have had to learn this the hard way)
Well so now she's mad at me for accusing her of being mean to my best friend because she (my best friend told me this) said that she was saying to my best friend that she was a jerk and ugly and a brat and she kept rolling her eyes at my best friend so I asked her and she said she didn't do that but I don't believe her bc she said shut up you a little brat to me!

i think she's gone out of hand at this point, it might be better to give her some time to think about it then break off the friendship? keep things civil though because if she's already talking behind your back she might spread rumours about you. this sounds cringy but if it gets reallly out of hand i do recommend getting a teacher or parent between this issue
ok, thanks she is a bit better but I'm worried that she might try to stir things up soon!
