Hi. This post isn't special, just 8th grade drama. Skip this if you want, I just need advice because this has been rubbing me the wrong way. I (13F) have been friends with Bella (fake name, 13F) for over a year, and she is the first person who supported me after I was discharged from the hospital for the 4th time in 6 months after attempted suicide. I really appreciate her as a friend, and I know going into highschool may break off our friendship anyways, but I just want to know if I should do it sooner rather than later.

To begin, Bella is a toucher. A real toucher. Not just a "I wanna hold hands with you" toucher, a "I will shove my finger up your asshole when you're bent over" toucher. Actually, she's both. Days range from her holding my hand, cuddling with me, etc, while also shoving her foot up my booty cheeks, slivering a hang around my waist, and tickling my armpit. I've told her multiple times to stop but she only does for a day before going back to it. That's just the start. She also technically cheated on her BF (idk what our generation has come to, I don't believe that people are actually "dating" until you can drive, but that's just me) and I will get into the story in the comments if you all ask.

Second, she disregards my writing and reading abilities. I have always loved reading. In fact, I am just now finishing my 28th novel of the year. With loving reading, I also love writing. Before I get to one of the main issues, I would just like to say that we are in a Shakespeare club at school. Very small group, only 9 people, all 8th graders, and in that club we read and talk about Shakespeare. We finished Twelfth Night in December and we are more than halfway into Hamlet. When we are done with that, we will read Romeo and Juliet. Outside of club, I've also always loved Shakespeare. I love his plays, poems, etc, and have a LOT of complete works (thanks mom, I love you.) In this club, she thinks that she can read. So, she volunteers for the long parts. I don't mean to be cocky, but having read Shakespeare since I was 10, I am able to read it fluently. She can not. She stutters a lot and mainly chooses to read main roles. I am not attempting to put her down, it's fine that she can't read it, it's just annoying that she takes those roles from me after I volunteer because I've never done it before but she has. Sorry, back to the main issue--my writing. I've been writing a few novels at a time, one is almost completed and 2 others are around 100 pages in. I've gotten professional advice and told that my writing can pass as AI and as a 40 year old with how descriptive it is, I suppose that's why English is my best subject. After a while of begging on Bella's end, I end up sharing the google docs with her because she wanted to read it. I watch her with a smile on my face, and after she barely finishes 2 pages on the book that's almost done, she closes her chromebook and says, "This fucking sucks." I say, "I'm sorry?" and she says, "Mrs. Colby(fake name/english teacher in this scenario) has been lying to you, I'm sorry but this is awful. I am here to be your friend and support you and I just think you should stop because there's no point in wasting any more into this project that won't go anywhere."

Whatever is what I would've thought, but this is my best friend. Her words cut DEEP, especially after she cheered me on through this whole process. There was a point where I let her words get to my head and I didn't write for four months.

Another reason--SHE DOESN'T LIKE SMOSH OR STARKID!! For those who don't know, Smosh is a comedy channel on Youtube who play games, react to Reddit stories, do Try Not To Laugh's, and overall have a great time. In a previous post in my profile, you can see that they literally saved my life. Starkid is a theatre production group who make excellent musicals that you can also watch on Youtube.

I'm not saying this as a reason because she thinks they're annoying, she puts me DOWN because I like them. She thinks Smosh "tries too hard" and that I'm stupid and cringe for liking them. At any point that I'm talking about them or wearing my bracelets that I made of them, she calls me out and treats me like a rabid dog. I don't understand, I let her like what she likes, why can't I like what I like? And with Starkid, whenever I'd show up wearing their merch, in the locker room she would "jokingly" hand me the shirt she was wearing and say, "Better change out of that before you get bullied. Can't have you look worse than you already do with that on bestie."

I get it, she is kind of an asshole, but she has ALWAYS been there for me when I need it and she is a really good friend when she tries, I'm just thinking of saving myself the heartbreak for the future. So Reddit, WIBTA if I broke off this friendship with Bella?
