i have always been a dancer, and all of my friends were dancers too. but then middle school came and me and my friends did dance and band. i was the only one of my friends who kept doing band because i really enjoyed being in drumline, and now being in high school all my old friends are on the dance team, and i have tons of new friends from drumline. i love hanging out with my old friends but it seems we dont have much in common anymore. i always come home from drumline all happy, or when im hanging out with my drumline friends im always having fun and not worrying about drama or any other crap like that, but then i go back to my other friends and theres all this drama and they talk about stuff that they do and will do right in front of me, even though they dont plan on inviting me. i just get upset and depressed around them. the thing is that weve been friends since elementary school and i cant just dump them, and they get all upset when i dont hang out with them. and im really starting to get sick of it all. please help me! what should i do!?

I actually just dealt with this situation in my life. what I did was just totally broke all ties to that group of friends, but they treated me horrably and were talking about me behind my back. so i sugest that you just start haning out with you band friends more and more while still keeping in contact with the dance group, just keep in touch with your best friend in the dance group and thats about it. but ya just keep in contact with your best friend in the dance group and see if she sould want to do stuff with the band friends of yours.

I'm not saying you ditch the dancers altogether just don't make them the main friends you hang out with anymore. Of they ask why...tell them same as you told us. You leave me out of your plans, you talk around me when I'm with you like I don't exist and you all depress me. life is to short for all that drama...have fun! :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

Then you can hang out with your friends from drumline but once and a while talk to your old friends. good luck! and do what you think is right [ dani022's advice column | Ask dani022 A Question ]
summerxbaybee answered Monday July 25 2005, 7:56 pm: Ahh the old saying "follow your heart" Looks like your heart belongs in your drumline friends, They make you happy & smileyy hehe. But, your other friends they probably do still care about you & going to highschool woo is hard.. Cept i think your more yourself and comftorable around your drumline friends, maybe you should start hanging out with them a lot more.. Less drama and your having fun with people who wouldnt disrespect you by talking about future plans without you... Keep in touch with your middle school friends but maybe not as much?
