Ending on what terms?

 I've had this friend for a very long time, talking nearly a decade.  We were very close, but we were so different.  I'm very anti drugs, alchohal, and teen sex, and as we got older I could tell that she was getting more and more into those things.  From before I even met her, I had another friend, who was my first best friend, and I knew that the

Wow. Okay first off, I have been through this almost exact same experience. Unfortunately, I was in your friend's shoes. I pushed people away who I had been friends with since kindergarden because I was being reckless. Eventually we stopped speaking to each other. Treated each other like strangers for almost three years. The advice I can give is, give her time. She obviously misses you and this could just be a phase she is going through. I'm guessing y'all are in high school. I had just graduated from HS when my troubles started and it was rough for a long time. I can say this though that despite all those horrible times and arguements with my friends we are finally close again. When you have been friends with someone for so long you can't just walk away from that connection. It's always going to be there. She might just be acting out or it could be something far worse. Don't give up on her just yet. If you truly want to save your friendship with her then give her a second chance. Things may need some serious repairing

Thank you for your advice. I really know what I need to consider when it comes to her. I just think I need to think more of what will happen if I either continue ignoring her, or begin talking to her again.
I think I as well need more time, and I just hope that whatever I do I dont regret.
Thanks again!

I can't say I know exactly what you're going through, but I think you should do what you feel is best in the situation, if you think you could help her then you should, because just ignoring her could come back and make you feel bad at the time you least expect it. One thing though, I think saying dont feel like going back to being friends with her will benefit me in anyway. is extremely selfish. Friendship isn't about what you can get out of anyone else, it should be about just that, friendship, companionship. I hope I don't offend you, I know we don't know each other thats just how I felt about this.
