I think
>>2 is mostly right in his/her comment. B really does go out of her way to act older and more mature. The problem is, however, that she isn't old or mature. Trying to be more mature is a sign of childhood. And here's another problem: even if you tell B that, she won't react, because people like that are quite stubborn. As to what can be done by you, that's a tricky question. You cannot really be of much help to A, but you can be a valuable friend. And that's something A needs in this situation. But there's a few outcomes, as stated by Black. In my opinion these are the most viable: Either A starts hanging out with B's crowd (which has a high chance of failure), or A forgets about be (at least for the time being), and turns to you. I'd suggest trying to get A to do the latter, because no-one knows how the first scenario will turn out, and you seem like a reliable person and friend, something A can't do without. I hope you guys can resolve this, best of luck.
