You deffinatly need to go get new friends.
These friends are very immature and just using you just because you can drive (for what I read it seems like they do.)

You should try talking to them, and tell them if they were your friends, they wouldn't call you up just to get a ride, they should call you up to hang out.

Tell them it bothers you how they never call you just to hang out, just for a ride.

You should stop picking them up. Maybe because if you drove them where they needed to be located once, they think it would be okay with you if they just let you do it for them all the time. This needs to stop, and speak out your mind.

Trust me, after you let it all out, hun, they should stop calling you and they can find their own ride(s).

Meeting new people who won't treat you like that is a gift. So go out there and make better friends that they need and deserve you.

Your friends that you 'thought were your friends' can go find other friends, they certainly do not deserve you as a friend. your too good for them.

Yes you need to talk to them and let them know how you feel. Not talkin to them only makes the situation worse.

omg! Yes you should totally get new friends! They're totally just using you, you should get friends that are nicer , and suit you more. You seem like a nice person, and they just seem mean. You don't have to be all snobby to your other friends, but just make new friends that actually like you for you, have fun with them, and give them rides, it'll make the other girls totally jealous ;)

Damn, do I know how that feels! First thing you have to understand is that they are NOT your friends. True friends don't leave friends out like that. Now if it was once or even twice then maybe something happened..but it sounds to me like they're doing this consistently which is unacceptable. Plus, they're basically using you whenever they need a lift. What kind of friends would do that?

You definitley need to tell them how you feel. And don't be nice about it either. Tell them you don't appreciate them leaving you out all the time and then coming to you whenever they need a lift. Ask them how they'd feel if you did that to them. Stand up for yourself. If it were me, I'd get some new friends, but you might think they deserve another chance. It's up to you. But definitley don't stand for this any longer and demand an explanation from them. You deserve to be treated far better than this.

Let them know how you feel. Tell them that you dont like not being invited out. It`s not right that they call you to get them. So next time tell them no, you cant get them this time. Then they`ll realize they cant use you like that. Tell them that it feels like your being used. If they keep it up, new friends might be a good idea.

Hey!!

Well, I'm sorry to hear about this, and I don't want to jump to conclusions but it is possible that they are using you. It is also possible that they are not doing it on purpose and don't even realize that they are doing it.

If you want to find out what is going on, you can do one of two things. First of all, you can sit down and talk to them and tell them how you feel. Don't accuse anyone or point fingers... be calm, and explain that you feel left out and used. If they understand and begin to call you and include you all the time, then your problem is fixed. If not, then forget about them and find new friends!

If you don't feel like talking to them, then just stop giving them rides. Tell them that gas is too expensive and you don't want to waste so much of it anymore (or if your parents pay for the gas, tell your friends that they won't let you waste as much anymore). If they keep calling you and want to hang out despite the fact that you can't drive them around, then they are true friends. If they disappear and you never hear from them again, it's their loss and your cue to forget them and find friends that will appreciate you!

Whatever you do, don't let them walk all over you... you don't deserve it! There are 250 million people in the United States... if a couple of them can't treat you right, you should have no problem at all finding new friends that will! :)

Honestly, it sounds as if they are using you. Don't let people push you around. People used to do that type of stuff to me too. I have a swimming pool so they would always try to come over, even though I never really tried to hang out with them before. Don't let them push you around, or use you. Let them know what's up!

beachpeach answered Monday June 19 2006, 11:49 pm:
Your "friends" are just using you and if they really wante dto be your friend, they wouldn't just call you for a ride. Before just dumping them talk to them to see what they are htinking. Maybe they don't realize that they are using you ro that it hurts you. But after talking to them, if they still treat you like this or they do similar things just don't be there friends. Because Im sure that there are poeople out there who would love to be your friend and won't take advantage of you.
