Friends and Peer Pressure
Ok. my friend and I have a rather odd relationship. We're good friends, and we talk all the time online, but we feel like we can't talk when we see each other because his other friends are there, and 3 out of the 4 of them that are there really don't like me for reasons I don't know. They don't like it that he even callls me a friend and I know, that sounds really stupid. I personally am not terribly worried about peer pressure, I'm pretty cool under it, but he's not. He lets things get to him. We're both kind of sick of hiding that we're friends, but telling the other guys to get over it won't help. The other guys think that's it terrible that he's friends with my best friend, (they don't like her much either) and both he and I know that they'd REALLY hate it if they knew that he was friends with me.
Any ideas of how to be able to admit we're friends, and not have anyone get hurt at all?

Maybe if you started talking to his friends...let them kno that your not as bad of a person as they think. That maybe if they got to kno you that theyd like you just as much as he does. But i dont them so i dont know how theyd react to it. I hope things work out

Ah, the wonders of the internet and how it doesn't translate so well into real life.
Deal with it. It's how life works. Silly little teenage friendship politics isn't important, and that you can be friends with whoever the hell you want. Just admit it. Or you could let it all come out in some big scandalous rumour, and then 4 months down the line realise that your friendship groups have now joined up and oh how ironic that is...

it shouldnt matter if u guys are friends. try to hang out with him more. but it woudlnt be fair to him if he had to pick. good luck

i think this is pretty much a case of him having to choose between his friends and you. if he really cares about you, he should be able to admit that he's your friend. i can understand how he wouldn't want to lose his other friends, but enough is enough!
