I was friends with this person for close to a decade. We're both juniors in high school, and a lot has changed for my in the past year, especially my personality. While I've grown wildly different—from being a shelled introvert to a much more socially relaxed and open one—she has remained relatively the same. Because of this, we grew apart and began to butt heads.
We've led very different lives; her family has been extremely supportive and (overly) positive, and has a tendency to perform responsibilities for her, while on my end I've learned to do most everything on my own and my trust is not so swift. She's hurt much easier by things I would usually not blink twice at, which has been nice in the past in regards to her empathy, but because of it I felt I couldn't be honest with her.
I asked her for space, and our terms were settled (at least I thought) on mutual ground. However, she claimed I was trying to push her away from "all her friends" (two people at our homeroom table; I have seen her talk to them only a handful of times over the course of three years. I asked her to move one seat over. She would have actually been closer to them), and proceeded to eradicate my only ride to the school we go to. Because of that, I struggled to find a way to school for about two months, constantly under the threat of having to move schools. Those aforementioned friends now look at me like a stranger, I don't know what they've been told. She pushed me to the other side of the homeroom classroom.
Even so, she refuses to respect my wishes and cease contact with me. She has hurt my feelings very deeply and I doubt I could forgive her for acting the way she has.

Can anyone help me figure out how to address her constant messaging? It's via notebook, so I can't block her. She won't listen to any of my pleading. Any otheradvice regarding these events would be immensely appreciated.

I'm sorry for all of the problems with your friendship. Do you live too far away from the school that she is your only ride, or can you take a bus? Could your parents drive you? Sorry for all the questions, just trying to understand your situation a little bit more.

@KalamariCakes

We figured it out now, but when she initially withdrew my only means of transport, i couldnt take the bus bc i lived about 30 minutes from the school (i moved in w my mom bc of family issues).

@KalamariCakes

Yeah, in regards to transportation. I wouldve never expected her to do something so petty though; her mom didnt even drive us, it was a friend, which means she had to cut off that friend from me in order to push me away.

@blue_topaz

Shit, I'm really sorry about all that, and I'm glad it's been figured out
Sorry I was too late, is there anything I can do as of right now?

@KalamariCakes

I mean, after all of this she refuses to leave me alone on notebook. She wont stop messaging me and comes up with dumb excuses every time i try and ask her to please leave me alone

@KalamariCakes

@"topaz…[X] just in case, dont lecture her or anything.. Shes in the position to overreact and be the one in control, I can't risk being bannered as an indirect cyberbully 😧😓
