DD has had this friend (who is a boy, just to clarify) since they were 11. Now both 15. In the last 6 months this friend has been having mood swings and dd seems to be on the receiving end of anything he does. She says she both does and doesn't want to be his friend, but feels bad if she leaves him - 1) he is basically her only friend and 2) she is basically his only friend.
He has a crush on her. DD politely reiterated that she is gay, although she would love to stay friends. Friend now keeps telling her he loves her, kisses her, hugs her, always touches her, holds her hands, follows her most places - all without her permission. She says 'its creepy' and he just doesn't stop, bo matter what she says to him.
On the other hand, he frequently tells her to piss off, shut up etc. Today he said 'being gay is a genetic defect' He spreads rumours about her, and roots through her bag all the time (which has personal items etc), and never apologises.
He even follows her to the toilets, which freaks dd out. In classwork, if she wants to work with anyone else, he tells everyone else to 'fuck off' before making dd work with him.
He has spent £30 on her for Xmas (she hasn't bought him anything yet - no money), and has said he loves her and keeps asking her out etc. She wants to break up the friendship but would feel bad about it.
Also, this boy mocked her eating disorders and told the whole year group that she is a 'mental self harmer'. She is really distressed in this situation but doesn't know what to do.
I think she should end the friendship. WWYD? TIA.
