Q: I went to a private school until this year and everyone was pretty religious and conservative.
Now I go to public school and I have a LOT of more socially liberal friends that I get along with better in a lot of ways. At private school, I was the "weird one." Now I'm not. At all.
Sometimes I can hang out with my old buddies and it's fun, but then a topic like homosexuality comes up and I'm surrounded by people who disagree with me.
I just feel like I'm being pulled in different directions by people who want different things from me.
I miss my old friends, I love them, I grew up with them, but I feel like I'm just too different to really be that close now. I don't know how I can balance my new and old friends, not really time-wise, but in my own mind.
Please help. People who do not write in complete sentences need not answer. If all you have to say is "balance your time," forget it. If you had read, you'd have realized it wasnt about that at all.
Thank you.

Don't do anything to please anyone. Whatever you think is your business, and none of your friends have any say in that. Try to make that clear to them. I know that can be tough and sometimes fails miserably, in which case you have to stop speaking to a person, but hopefully this won't be one of those cases. Try changing the subject when something like that comes up, or just phase out and don't participate in it. Something my mother told me was "Never discuss sex, politics, and religion in mixed company. Those are the three things that will start an argument." So if your friends start with the gay bashing, just say, "Yeah how about those lizards?", or something like that.

Call me Molly. I'm seventeen, female, and I love shoujo anime. I'm also a Level 1 Moderator.
My categories:
love/sex
friends
religion
Or just general stuff. I'll try my best to answer anything.
Warning: I'm known to give sarcastic as hell answers. Sorry, I can't help it. If you have a question that I think is mind numbing and stupid, I'm going to be sarcastic. My hope is that you will realize that my negative opinion of you doesn't make you any less of a person, and you will apply this knowledge and grow up to be a well-adjusted, confident person. Rate me 1 if you wish, but please try not to take it too seriously when I do this.
IF YOU WANT TO MAKE ME HAPPY...all it takes is a comment when you rate me. I will smile a lot and like you more. Even if you call me a crossdressing stoner. =)
