A quick little story. My kid has a big group of friends. One is very needy, very self-centred young lass. Another is a meek young man. Well yesterday he had enough (I don't know if this was in text or in person) but he told her "I can't grow as a person with you in my life" and then ended all contact. I could not stop laughing at this.
For the record a couple of the friends had deaths in the family and the young lass was complaining that nobody was paying any attention to her.
What's the age bracket here? This kid seems wise beyond his years - I love it. I love how emotionally engaged kids are these days compared to when we were all growing up.

Good on him!
Yeah exactly. Usually the group just listens and nods but he's had enough and told her so.

Oh he's sixteen. An all round nice kid.
Love it. He's old enough to know exactly what he's saying and take action.
Good on him and I hope the young lass is able to learn some things and stage a comeback story after that harsh truth.
Yeah me too because she's not a horrible person just a little needy.
