"Yello! Im Shimmer! So still having school problems but not the same reason. I had solved that but now one of my friends made a new friend and my other friend is mad about that. I will call the one that made the friend Friend A and the other Friend B. So Friend A made a horrible friend and that friend was a bully. And thats why Friend B was mad. Friend A was friends with a girl who bullied everyone (including meh) so we supposedly solved that in probably a bad manner." (continued in comments)

(continued from description) "By arguing. Not me! My friend. I hate drama! Any who the bully who Friend A made friends with wants to be friends with us again. I don't wanna be friends with a bully but I don't want to completely shut her out of the group without knowing if she can change. Should I let her be friends and see if she can change or nah?"

No one is perfect, so we all need second chances sometimes. Your friends argued and you obviously forgave them, so why not this new person? Sometimes people bully as a way to lash out or for attention, so excluding her will hurt her and she may bully again as a way to deal with those negative feelings. This is a perfect opportunity to show her the power of friendship and forgiveness. Treat others how you would want to be treated, not how you think they deserve to be treated, because none of are would really be good enough if we were measured by every wrong choice we made. Also, since you hate drama, this is a great opportunity to avoid it and bring your friends together. You can't make people not be friends with someone because you don't want them to, so Friend A will be friends with her, but you can help work things out between A and B. Help Friend B understand that being friends with a (hopefully no longer) bully will not somehow make you a bully. It makes you nice people to be open.

Show that you understand why Friend B is mad at Friend A, but also remind B why they were friends with A to begin with. And let B know that excluding someone is actually an act of bullying. So, to avoid being a bully, you need to follow the golden rule and treat others how you would want to be treated, as if they were you just living a different life. Always try to set a positive example for others. You can't control them and they will make mistakes and may even hurt you, but fear of that should not make you a cold person toward others. Be open and kind to everyone because we're all equal.

I think you should except her back.I think once all of you become friends again you should change the way the friend(That was a bully)Is.Try making her not a bully by telling her about how she hurted you.
