okay so i just started a new highschool this year as a freshman, but nobody else knew eachother yet either so we all had to make friends. at the beginning of the year everybody was just friends with everyone but now kids are so cliquey. and the kids i hung out with at the beginning of the year are kinda split up into diffferent groups now.
okay, so the people i was friends with are really clingy and are started to get extremely annoying and thats my pet peeve. and now i have other friends too that i really like, infact i like them a lot better. how do i hang out with them more and and hang out less with my old friends without hurting their feelings? i mean they are nice people but they follow me everywhere and are really annoying and nobody likes them. and i dont want to sound like a bitch or anything because im not its just that they follow me everywhere.
sorry its so long, but thanks for help!

It's just normal for people to split up because in high school every person becomes so different and it's harder to make friends (it's not just a matter of asking eachother your favorite colors anymore-haha).
Anyways, try drifting off very slowly from your old group of friends. Maybe you could introduce your new friends and your old friends together and see how that turns out. If you want to totally stop hanging out with them, you can, but be slow and nice about it. Don't make them feel like you've totally ditched them at first.. Just slowly wean them off.
Over time, You'll drift enough so that you can hang out with other people and they won't care as much. They should give you some space to do whatever you want- and they might start making their own friends too. [ honu22's advice column | Ask honu22 A Question ]
