Should I stop being friends with someone.. how to tell them?

Thank you, I feel bad for trying to avoid her, especially having to see her every day. It's hard to have to end this friendship, and she's finally gotten the message I've been avoiding her. Unsure what to say when to end this friendship

Can you talk to her with a trusted adult present? Maybe practicing what to say with that adult would help.
I’m thinking just say to her what you’ve been saying here in a kind way.
What has she said or done to let you think she’s finally gotten the message?
Don’t feel guilty about this; you aren’t ending the relationship to be mean,
you’re trying to maintain your own health. Also, continuing to let her abuse you is not helping her either. Be prepared for her to guilt trip you and/or promise to change; stay strong.
As the moderator wrote, do have a plan in place in case she retaliates. Not to be dramatic, but when an abuser(bully) loses their victim; things can get unpredictable.
From what I’ve read here, I do think this girl needs help.
If she’s acting out what happens to her at home, wow! When you talk to her, maybe the adult can offer help.
Let us know how this goes; we’re here for you.
