I've been friends with the same group of people since I moved here(8th grade). I'm not a junior in highschool and just about fed up with the way they all act. I mean, don't get me wrong, they're great friends but well...act pretty slutty at times. Actually, they don't act like sluts...they are sluts. They are they typical "popular slutty cheerleaders" and I don't want that to reclect back on me becasue I'm not like that. I want to stop hanging out with them but I don't want to just be like "hey, I don't like you guys anymore...see ya around." What should I do?

Deanimal answered Monday April 18 2005, 1:02 am: Slowly distance yourself from them. I'll assume you have at least a few friends who are different. If you don't, find some. Gradually hang out with people you like more and the sluts less. "Drift Apart" as friends so often do. [ Deanimal's advice column | Ask Deanimal A Question ]

Just tell them that youy guys are starting to act diff and its kinda getting out of control or tell them they need to change if they want to stay your friend.

Aunty_Anna answered Sunday April 17 2005, 3:39 pm: i've been through the exact same thing! here are some ways you could try!! first you should make sure you have other friends.... you may not like these people but i'm sure you want some friends!! then gradually stop hanging out with them. first don't call them on the phone or if they call you pretend your not in. then stop sitting next to them in school (if you do!) and sit next to other friends in your classes! stop hanging around with them outside school and at lunch and things! and soon you will be completely distant and detached from them! this could take a long time however! if you want something shorter, you could try falling out with them for a stupid reason, then go to your other friends and they won't think your ditching them as you weren't friends when you moved on!! thats kinda easier (garanting none of them agree with you and stick up for you....!) Good Luck!! [ Aunty_Anna's advice column | Ask Aunty_Anna A Question ]
Tinkerbelle answered Sunday April 17 2005, 3:17 pm: Make new friends or join some clubs, and slowly just move away from the old ones, like you "don't have time for them" anymore or the one "you're going separate ways". If they keep bothering you, you can't be polite about it, just tell them you don't wanna be friends. It's going to suck, but you have to do it to get out of being friends.

icey0990 answered Sunday April 17 2005, 3:13 pm: What to do is to start being friendly with the people you want to be friends with..find another group. But if they are good friends..then you can still be nice to them, just as long as you dont dress or act like them people should be able to differentiate that you are not one of them.
