I feel like everything I do is dictated by my friend?

[Daisy]

I have this friend. I won't name her, but let's call her Janet for example. I am in most of my classes with Janet and she's in my form (home room) so we are together a lot in school. Every day, we walk home together. I don't really enjoy this (it's always rainy) but I put up with it and do it because I know Janet wants to and wants me to. I always turn down rides home, because of her. However, when she gets a lift home because she doesn't want to walk, I'm suddenly stranded and have to walk home on my own.

When it's lunch, I always sit with Janet, because I know that's what she wants, and I feel mean leaving her on her own. However, when she wants to sit somewhere else, she doesn't consider me, like I do to her, and just leaves me. There are also loads of clubs I want to do, but I feel like I can't do them because there's part of her that doesn't want me to. She always dissuades me from stuff like that, or tells me that i'll be abandoning her if I take part, even though she doesn't care if she abandoned me.

Lately, she's been wanting to look cool, so at lunch, once we've finished eating, she always goes over to this group of boys and girls. They all talk outside of school as well, on facebook and snapchat and stuff, not that i'm included in any of this. I feel out of place with these people, but I have no-one else to go to and I don't want to be alone.

Also, she likes to draw attention to herself and constantly be better than me. She has honestly had 100 injuries in the past year (dislocated her shoulder, couldn't write; pulled a muscle in her back; couldn't do sports; keeps fainting, leaves school; has tummy aches, gets permission from teachers to leave lessons; hurt ankle, missed sport for 2 years, yet could still dance outside of school) the list goes on. She makes all of these up for attention, so other people will feel sorry for her. If I come into school one day and say that I have a headache, she has to make it into a competition and tell me how she's feeling much worse.

I'm getting sick of all of this, but as I said I have no-one else to go to and I don't want to completely ruin our friendship. What should I do? Should I do more clubs and let her walk home without me? Or should I ask her to stop it? Btw sorry about this being really long, i've needed to get it off my chest

hi daisy firstly i think that janet does not care for you.she is always busy in grabing attention of other people.if you care for her then she should also care for you which she did not do.you are not her body guard you are his friend and you always want to be friendly with him. so just leave her for some days.for some days dont care for janet and walk alone and observe her behaviour. if she really needs you she will tell you.why you are wasting time on that girl which never thinks for you. if she ask you then tell him that you also want some freedom and in friendship understanding is important. dictatorship is not allowed.if she understand you and gives you freedom then ok otherwise move on make some other friends. every one needs enjoyment so just enjoy dont think so much for her.
