Replacement!
Growing up I had 3 close friends, but their name shall remain anonymous.
The one girl I knew since I was born, literally. We played with each other a lot as babies.
We were seperated for two years then met up again once we both found out we attended the same school in the same class (first grade). The school I went to was a small private school with no more than 250 students tops. It went up to 8th grade.
As the years went on in school I made 2 new major friends. We would always play after school and on the weekends, everything we did was fun. It was like a dream, no stress, no bordom, just fun.
It wasn't until fith grade when my one best friend moved away to Deleware. Lucky we kept in contact (still to this day). By the time 7th grade rolled around my other best friend had transfered to public school. All she could talk to me about was public school and how much she loved it. She was making new friends, and slowly I became pushed away from the spot light. Everything she talked about revolved around her school, which I could not relate or converse in because I had no such experience. A few years later I became nothing more than just a private school kid to her. We slowly just stopped talking, and to this day I still don't know the full reason behind what really happened...
My other friend (who is a male) in 8th grade told me that he had a huge crush on me since 5th grade. Being that he was one of my best friends I nicely told him that I didn't have the same feelings to return, but I'd always be his friend. Apparently that must have broke something inside of him because ever since that day he's been pushing me away and acting cold towards me. Also, in his life I was always the "tough tomboyish girl". We had so many fun memories in my old, Private school together (8 years of memories and friendship).
Then when we both went to South our freshmen year he found replacements for me, for who I was. He replaced me with other girls who acted similar to me, similar to my old self (because back in 7th grade I use to be a fairly mean person, but I changed my ways in 8th grade).
Also, I changed in a positive way. The only thing I changed about myself was my crudeness. I realised how being a crude person wasn't going to get me too far in life, so I decided to change that. I decided to think before I made an action. Apparently I just became to mature for my friend, or so I guess.
Replacemetns, replacements, replacements...

It's good to hear that you've changed your attitude. I recall a friend that I was really good friends with from fourth grade to seventh grade. But then he just really branched away and found other friends, and he just became a typical classmate to me. It's an unfortunate thing and it happens to a lot of us, but you know, I really didn't get in low spirits over it. I hope you didn't feel too upset over your former friend.
