I know my problem isn't as important as suicide or other big problems, but anyway I'd like to know what you think about my situation and what I should do.
I live in a city, but my parents also have a house in a small village. Me and my grandma go there in the summer.
I never had any friends at school, but when I was like 11-12, I met Kate when I was in that village. Soon we became friends and she told me stories about the thing she likes the most:
UFOs, superpowers, spirits and such. She told me she was seeing them, that she talked to them, that her plushie dolphin was alive and that she could talk to him. I believed (I was still little + I was kinda interested in those things too.
So she taught me how to call the UFOs and the spirits etc. I was pretending I really saw them and could really talk to them, it was more like a game.
I was a bit carefree, so when I got back to school and told some people about it, of course they thought I was insane, which wasn't true.
Anyway, I enjoed this game until now -- I'm 14. Not that I want to act like those cool girls with make up and boyfriends -- I'm not really interested in those things right now. I like reading, internet, studying, drawing...
She's my best friend (I've got two friends in total). But she's constantly talking about those things. She has plenty of imaginary friends (ppl at her school think she's a freak) and an imaginary boyfriend. Kate's taking it too seriously, like it's real. She always tells me what her dolphin or her "boyfriend" said. Plus she made up a character that we have to fight against, he's name is Merk. She tells me he's threatening her and that he tries to kill her "boyfriend" and such things.
I tried to talk to her, I told her she shouldn't talk and think ONLY about this, because it isn't real. Then she told me that when we just became friends, we were talking only about my interests. Well, now we're talking only about her interests! stare
Her parents know about her imaginary world, and still they don't care, they think it's normal and that she's just a child and she has to play games. My mom knows about it too, but she couldn't give me any useful advice.
What should I do? I don't want to break this friendship because she's my best friend and I like her anyway. But it's really hard to take what she says to me all the time.
