"How do I ditch my annoying friend?"

You Said:
"This girl at school has basically attached herself to my leg this year, and I don't know how to shake her off. I tried to be nice to her because she was new, but then she treated me as her only friend in the world. It wouldn't be such a big deal if she was nice to my friends and boyfriend, but she gets really, really rude around them. How do I tell this girl to back off?"

We Say:
Sounds like this girl Velcro-ed herself to your life. We totally understand being the new kid in school is hard, so that's awesome you reached out to her -- but then it was her job to meet more friends. If she was cool about it, she could have been a great addition to your BFF circle, but instead she got possessive of your new-found friendship. Weirdo alert.

We think you should write this girl an e-mail and let her know that you like hanging out with her, but you're bummed about how she's treating your friends and boyfriend. Tell her you love the people you've got in your life, so if she's not OK with them, then you're not OK with her spending her time with you. The end. Don't worry, she'll either shape up or ship out.
