What to do about my friend? (medium story/explanation)?

People change as they grow up. There is no reason you can't be friends with more than one person. The person I was best Friends with in elementary school was completely different by the time I got to high school. I was hanging out with other people who had more of the same interests as me. Maybe its time for you to find someone who has more of the same interests as you and continue to distance yourself from your former best friend. Besides you can't make him do anything, just as he can't make you a emo computer nerd.
