I used to have many best friends. When 7th grade started some of them became part of the popular crowd, a few went totally goth on me and cut them selves constantly and some just ditched me. I have like one or two friends now that still hang out with me. I have lots of other people hang out with me, but now I'm realizing how they truly feel about me by all the rumors they are starting. I just don't know what to do anymore, I'm so alone. Please help.

Try and not let them get to you. Because if you let the rumors roll off of you, they'll probaly stop and move on to someone else. hope I helped [ Mckick's advice column | Ask Mckick A Question ]
Mercy_x_Me answered Saturday October 15 2005, 12:03 pm: To be honest, you need to withdraw from the ones who's name always pops up when you ask where the rumor started. You can never be sure, and if you're hearing a rumor, confront that "friend" and tell them you want the honest truth, that you can still be friends with them even if it might hurt. If they give you an attitude then they're not the people you hold onto. A few GOOD friends is better than 20 ordinary friends. Teens go through rought times with friends. It's a part of life...groups change, and people are trying on all sorts of different personalities and styles, because they are still trying to find themselves. Just throw in hormones, and there's your chaos.

About the cutting/goth friends, forget them they are losers (by the way i have nothing against goths.
And about the rummer starters, they are obviously enemies. Find out who they are and ask them why they are starting. Dont be completly "in their face" about it, because that just gives them other things to spread.
S2BaBiDawLS2 answered Friday October 14 2005, 10:20 pm: well those kind of people are two-faced. and you dont need people in your life like that. just have more of an "i dont need you" attitude and more people will be attracted to your confidence. & i dont want to seem rude but it sounds like maybe people ditched you because it was time to grow up since its middle school and you were still acting immature. so just have confidence and act mature. and remember.. the only people you need in your life are the ones who need you in theirs <33 [ S2BaBiDawLS2's advice column | Ask S2BaBiDawLS2 A Question ]
rikatree2375 answered Friday October 14 2005, 10:17 pm: I totally know how you feel. I know it sucks to lose your friends, but be thankful for the ones you still have. People change over time and so will you. You'll meet new friends, and lose old ones. It's just how it goes. But right now, focus on the good friends you have and try to become closer with them. I think that'll help you when you feel lonely. And try to put yourself out there to meet new people. There's always people around you who feel the same way and just need somebody to talk to. You could help them and yourself if you open up. It can't hurt :) Just know that you're never alone even if you have ONE good friend. That's all that matters. I hope my advice helped. And if you need somebody, i'm always here for ya. My sn is rikatree2375 also if you want to talk. Good luck!!!
t0xicParadiSe answered Friday October 14 2005, 10:14 pm: Well one thing you should always remember in your life is that it doesn't matter how many friends you have.
It is better to have a few close friends that won't backstab you and start nasty rumors then many friends that will.
You just have to start choosing your friends more wisely.
Don't worry hun every one gets backstabbed by their so called friends a few times in their lifetime. I speak from experience.
Don't let any one screw you over.
If you need anything else drop one in my inbox or IM me anytime.
