Ok well I used to be like really popular, like the most popular girl in the school, and im not just saying that. Like some of my friends who weren't popular were alway like i wish i could be like u ur so popular and stuff even some kids i dont no that well would say it. And like every guy thinks im way out of their league. But this year things have changed, my best friends from last year who i hung out with everyday barely talk to me anymore. We used to be so close like they would even call my mom "mom" or "mommy" we used to have so much fun together and now we barely speak to each other. And i used to tell a couple of them everything and im still friends with them but not as good we only hang out in school. but like now i hang out with the kids that arent popular and everyone says i ditched them and now all my old guy friends are really mean to me. My nest guys friend doesnt even say hi to me in the hall anymore I MISS THEM ALL SO MUCH!! i really miss being known as popular i no it sounds selfish but i had so much fun where i was before and now i still have fun but its different WHAT SHOULD I DO?!?! HELP!

Alin75 answered Monday January 24 2005, 9:49 am: This is a very strange situation, and I want you to understand that, though I will do my best to give you some advice, this is NOT something I would consider myself an expert in. First of all, from your description, it does not sound like you ditched your friends, it sounds like they ditched you. So you might consider that getting back with them might not be completely in your best interest. That is something only you can decide of course. Anyway, have you considered pulling one of them aside and confronting him/her? Get them to explain why on earth they think you ditched them. If you arent the confrontational type then perhaps invite one of the ones you are closest to over to your place, our out somewhere. Figure out why they feel ditched and explain to them that it wasnt your intention to do it. If it turns out that they dont like you cause you hang with the less popular kids then I would advise that you drop them (your old friends). I cant tell you how to regain popularity because I was never concerned with it in my youth. My ideal situation was always to have a small group of very close friends. All I can say to you is that even if all this doesnt work out, where you are now may turn out to better than what you had last year. Anyhow, best of luck.
