You have to talk to them about it.

Well you should sit them down and talk to them. Maybe its high skool. People change or maybe you've done something wrong without realizing it. I don't know, but you should talk to them! -Hope I helped out!

Maybe they feel that they are maturing and you are not, or that you've matured and they haven't, so they don't want to hang around you anymore. I sort of avoid a friend, but I didn't really ever want to be friends with her, my mom sort of made me. I know you might not want to hear this, but they might feel embarassed by you. Or they feel that you've grown apart from them.

Aproach one of them, or a few at a time, and ask if somethings up, that you've noticed we don't hang as often or something, and tell them to be truthful, and you won't mind if they seriously say whats up, and then you CAN'T explode, listen to what they have to say, you might not like it.

Not trying to be pessimistic, but I'm preparing you for the worst that could happen

Though I agree that the transition from 8th to 9th grade is a big one, people don't change that quickly. This question cannot be easily answered by me or any other advice giver.
As I have mentioned in the past, TALKING is key here. I'm not your friends, or Bob ( and neither is any other advice giver on this site) and I have no idea why they are acting differently. Maybe it is something you did that they took the wrong way?
Wondering what is wrong will you get you no where. You need to ask your friends why they are acting so differently. You don't have to be rude, simply bring up the topic casually.

Remember: if you don't take action to solve your problems, no amount of advice can help determine why your friends are acting so differently.

Good Luck

people change and there isn't much you can do! what i would do is confront them and tell them how you feel, and ask them if there is anything wrong!

your in highschool now, and people are going to change. just talk to your friends and if they dont talk to you back just be like "hey why arent you talking to me?" you can say it like your joking around if you dont think you can say it seriously without them hurting your feelings. maybe there is a reason, or maybe they just didnt even notice they were ignoring you.

hope this helps,
