I have a friend group of 7 girls including myself. 2 of the girls have rudely confronted me about my "lack of motivation" to go to school, my rare use of marijuana, and my "overuse" of alcohol. They all have drank many times before also, so I am not the only one. They're claiming that I am a bad influence on them and that I'm ruining their reputation with mine (I'm known as the partier of my grade/the girl who misses a lot of school). They've disregarded me telling them that I miss so many days of school because I have major depressive disorder and in the past month 3 people I was close to have died. I also have ADHD and I hate taking adderall for it, and I have to take adderall whenever I go to school. I barely ever smoke marijuana, but when I do, I use it for sleep since I have chronic insomnia. I only drink in social situations (at parties), and one of the two girls that is claiming that I drink too much, drinks alcohol everyday after school normally. They both have gotten 2 more girls in our friend group to dislike me and they're now saying that if I don't stop using drugs, cut back on my drinking, and to stop making excuses and come to school, they're going to kick me out of our friend group because the majority wants me out. The 2 friends who are on my side and are sticking up for me are getting caught in the crossfire and getting yelled at for still being friends with me. I don't want to forgive them because I do not want to be friends with people that want me to change myself and I don't want to really hangout with them all the time, but I'm also putting my 2 friends sticking up for me through hell and ripping apart my friend group. I don't know what to do. (link)
This is going to be very brief because there's not much to say. Do you. Always do you. Don't let ANYONE tell you to act a certain way or be a certain way. Honestly, I think that you need new friends. They don't sound like they're getting you anywhere. You need people that will bring you up, not put you down. Especially with everything your going through. This might be bad advice, but leave them before they leave you. If you wanna talk anymore, I'm here. I promise. :)
