As my title says, my friends tend to be really mean to me. We had a free Spanish period today because there was a substitute, and they ignored me the whole time. They were making plans to go shopping for bathing suits, and go snowboarding with each other, and didn't ask me to join them. One of my friends just randomly tells me to shut up, and she thinks it's just a joke. They tell each other stuff and don't tell me, and then they talk about it right in front me. Basically, they treat me horribly, and I really don't need it from them. What am I supposed to do??
I don't think your so-called friends respect you very much. You deserve better than that, especially from people who are supposed to care about you.
You should probably talk to them (preferably individually; I think it would be easier) about how hurtful their behaviour is and ask them to stop. If they don't, then you should probably stop being their friend. You don't need to take their abuse, not even if they say you're friends. Either they stop and prove that they see you as an equal, or they don't and you can ditch them for people who will treat you with respect.
Cheers.
