God, I have a real problem. When I first came to Jr. High last year I was myself 100%. I didn't give a care what people thought about me, or who my friends were. Then in the middle I started changing my looks and the way I talked, and I found myself ditching my old friends (who were kind of geeky) to be friends with newer and more popular ones. And it worked! Some of the popular people hang out with me now. But I feel really bad now. Now that im friends w/ the popular kids, I feel like I dont even need my old friends. I even LIKE my new friends more than my old ones. So tell me... am I a total selfesh jerk for ditching my friends? And am I weird for changing myself?

No, you're not weird! I did it too...I felt kind of bad though because I left my old friends behind, but I guess it was for the best. I mean most people eventually grow out of their younger self. You shouldn't be so hard on yourself--but don't totally ignore your old friends. At least wave or say 'hi' to your old friends when you see them in the hallway. Also, you said " I feel like I dont even need my old friends. I even LIKE my new friends more than my old ones." So you see, at least you're happy :] Everything works out.
