You can't make her stay in a relationship if she wants out.
Let her go and move on.

Thanks I don't know if it really helps me the only weird part is going to go from in a relationship to being friends (we've been close friends forever)

Unfortunately, you can't keep it together if she wants to separate. I'm not even sure you can remain friends. How do you think that will be healthy for you? You'll always be remembering how things used to be and wanting them back again.

Once one of my "Friends" texted my girlfriend from my phone and asked her If she was a hermafrodite. Well this completely pissed her off. And still after half a year this "Friend" keeps telling her that it was me and not him. I need some help to get him to stop please.

If you would answer a question or two it will help.
How old are you?
Do you still hang around with your "friend" who caused the trouble?
Is she still your girlfriend , or did this cause you to break up?
How soon did you find out about it, what did you do then?

I don't really hang around this "friend" anymore.
I'm 14.
It didn't cause a break up we r still go back and forth because of thing going on like school.
I found out about it 5 minutes later and I told her it was this "friend" and she believed me only because she had met him before and knows he can be a jerk.

Ok so me and this girl have been friends since we were really little. For a while we had lost contact and a year ago we got back in touch and starte dating. We dated at the beginning of the year and became friends with benefits all summer. After about 4monthes we started dateing again and broke up because of school, and after school activities. The first time it was her idea to be friends with benefits and I want to know if it's really OK to be that at 14? Even now after we broke up she still wants to go to the fair and the fireworks with me. I guess I'm really just wondering if we should do that or not.

Do you mean "friends with benefits" as in having sex. If so, absolutely NOT is it OK. You are far too young and its against the law.

Agreed. You are too young to be having sex. Sex is not a recreational sport. Sex is is something shared between two people who have a deep and committed relationship. And no one should engage in sexual intercourse until they are financially, physically and emotional prepared to have a child.
I would say its OK to to go to the fair with this girl, at your age, hanging out like that is fine. But I would be more inclined to stay away from her. She is promiscuous and that is dangerous.

Your 14 she's 14,the straight answer is NO.
Factor in the mental and emotional trauma this will have on both of you.
If you think 'trauma' is over the top,how about if she gets pregnant? Std's? Your parents finding out,her parents finding out.
Stay away from sex until your older wiser and more able to deal with the consequences.

I don't think you mean friends with benefits as that applies to having sex with no commitment, and 14 year olds don't need to be playing with sex, no way, no how.
If you are talking about dating as friends with no strings attached, now that's a different thing, and okay as long as its cool with the parents.

If it was you and you knew what a hermaphrodite was, you would not have to ask. Therefore it wasn't you or else none of you knows what a hermaphrodite is, which is what I'm beginning to suspect... Too much drama here. Since she has broken up with you anyway, I would stop worrying about this. Find a better friend, too.

Please understand your wording, friends with benefits are two people who merely have sex for the sake of having sex. They are friends but not dating.

PLEASE DO NOT USE THE WORD RETARDED on this site. It is disrespectful for people who may have children with learning disabilities or who are mentally and emotionally handicapped. You have shown me by using that word , you aren't ready for a girlfriend or kissing.

Friends with benefits refers to sex.
So when you used that phrase we thought you meant sex.
Your reaction was good. You were shocked !
And at 14 that's what you should be.
It appears you are smart enough not to try that.
A kiss occasionally between friends is OK.
Hanging out and spending the entire day
Kissing is not fine.
You will have the next 70 to 90 years to do that.
Go out and be 14.
I'd suggest something I did at 14 but that was so long
Ago glaciers covered all of Canada and the northern states.
So I won't.
Keep thinking before you act.
It shows maturity to ask about important decisions
You are making.
All of these people who took the time to
Answer you are intelligent and caring people.

It is against the rules and plain rude to call anyone names.
And using the word retard like you did shows you are still immature in
Some ways.
It shows you to be uncaring unthoughtful , and a lot of people think it shows you are not smart enough to find a more appropriate word.
I know you are smart . You can find better ways to tell someone you don't agree.

No one was looking down on you.
Everyone was trying to help, although there was a misunderstanding that caused some tension, you did not do much to help.
It was partially because of the poor spelling and grammar your post was difficult to understand.
You familiar with spell check?
I use it a lot, I don't spell very well but want to be understood so I check spelling.
When there is a communication problem , calmly discuss it.
When you are understood , and you understand then you have a chance of some progress.
And I can't speak for anyone but me ,
No problem here,. I will stop answering.

For fun -- goes twice a year to camp and hike.
Still hot down there, pack sunscreen.
He's done it for 20 years. I stay home and have my own kind of vacation.
Moab is one of my favorite places.
His too. He'd move there in a minute.
Thanks, OP, for allowing us to borrow some space.

And they might be a little mad because you made it easy to take the wrong way.
And it didn't help.
You and I have exchanged a few sentences and have made it clear.
Friends with benefits (as you used it) means kissing. Not sex.
Do we now understand each other?

Kissing gets the hormones going and if you and the girl aren't careful you could be in big trouble.

So you know what it's like now.
You should be good to put it off a few years.
It is going to cause you to be extremely tempted
To be foolish and not think about the problems going
Farther will bring you.
It is not that great to chance ruining your life over.

Also I need to add, if this kissing is going on in school you could get into trouble.
There is a no physical contact policy in the zero tolerance rules about touching and kissing. Any form of contact is grounds for ISS or suspension.

You may as well learn now to think with your brain, and not your hormones. Trust me, just give it some thought for a while, as all that feels good ain't good for you. You need some real facts and knowledge before you go exploring a willing females face.
We are just trying to save you some frustration, and problems, later is all.

No one said that kissing is bad. But kissing without emotional attachment is wrong.
