My friends aren't acting like friends to me lately. We all used to be one group and now its breaking off in smaller groups. One of the smaller groups went to the mall. I don't mind them going to the mall together, but when they go 20 minutes after i ask them if they are doing anything. And when they go with 2 other people and dont bother inviteing me, Then puting it all in there away messages, profiles, and talking about what happened in front of me. Then i get pissed. I am trying to seperate myself from them, but i tried that and it creates more of a problem. I want to explode. But i cant, I just started highschool and i am trying to make new friends. ( not working out well) so if i break myslef completly off then i will be a outcast and be alone. I don't know what to do. Please help.

I've been there,done that,so I know how frustrating and hurtful it can be!Unfortunately,groups of friends in high school are gonna break off eventually.It's just sort of inevitable.As you all get older,you all change so many times and things just aren't the way they used to be.You'll break off into the smaller groups like you said,and then some of those groups will stay together,some won't.But you deserve to have friends who take your feelings into consideration.It's scary to try and make new friends I know,but sometimes you just have to take that step.Go up to someone in your class that you don't know and introduce yourself.Smile and say hi to people in the halls,be friendly and approachable.At lunch,go up to some kids that may have been just aquaintances before and ask if they have room for one more!!Suggest going out to the mall a night,or to see a good new movie.Show up at some parties that are being thrown,and after school things like football games,wrestling matches,etc.Get yourself involved in some activities you like,like drama,yearbook,tennis,swimming,whatever!!!!That's a great way to meet new people!!I hope this helped a little.You will be fine,I promise!!

Don't worry if it is long or not, we are all here to help. The reason is very simple why everybody is going in all different directions...you said it yourself. You just started high school. All of your close middle school friends, will not move onto more high school related people. Such as SO, JR and SR. There is one thing that you don't want to worry about though. Being an outcast or all alone. That doesn't happen in high school. Everybody knows somebody, and everybody is friends with somebody. You're friends are going through changes..just like you. You have to start meeting new people, just like they are a little bit. It'll be hard, trust me...but only hang out with those a little bit, since they are treating you so badly. Hang out at football games, get active in the school. You'll have friends, and you'll be loved by many. I hope I helped, good luck through High school, and stay strong. Have a wonderful day lovely!
