DearChrissie3737 answered Monday September 11 2006, 9:00 pm: Hey. Yeah I've been in a situation like this before and I know, it's tough. Well does that other group have any reason to hate the sweet girl? You said she's really sweet so why would she be hated? That doesn't really sound like a nice group if they hate her because she's too sweet or nice but maybe there's more to it. Is the sweet girl alone? Then I would probably sit with her and I know you said all of you sitting together is not an option but I would at least ask the sweet girl if she wanted to sit with them too. But ask the other group first. If they say no I would sit with the sweet girl but still hang out with the others on certain days and the sweet girl on other days. Or ask if there's any reason they hate her. Are you sure they're just not the same and you're exaggerating? Hopefully that's the case :). Well I hope I helped a little and please give feedback my friend.

Cj answered Sunday September 10 2006, 6:57 pm: Of course, this kind of thing happens all the time.
If I were you, I would sit with the girl that you met on the first day, I think she is the "real" friend.
Be sure to split your time between both of em. An easy way to split the time is with the group at lunch and the other girl at other times, but when you first tell the oether sweet girl that you won't eat with her, tell her nicely. Say, some girls said they want to show me something, or want to discuss something with me over lunch, and I have a feeling that you friend will understand. Then after that tell her what's up. and be sure to not to mention any of these following words, "friends, always, never, want"
The other girls that are more like you may not be able to relate to you on certain levels on like that other chic. So depending on you personality at that point in time, you know which to go to.
There must be a reason that they hate each other. If the girls hate the other one for no reason at all, that is pretty shallow, I would not really hang with them for that.
So it is up to you to choose, I can't really choose for you.
I know this is beside the point, but the japanese have an effective way of dealing against this. Their mentality: school for work, not socialising. This also allows you to do good in school and get a scholarship and go very far in life, and be able to get enough friends (tenfold) and fun later in life. [ Cj's advice column | Ask Cj A Question ]
Chicagostar113 answered Sunday September 10 2006, 6:33 pm: who says you have to choose? i have friends in different cliques too. Just sit with one group one day then with your other friend another day, so alternate. If you hang out with your friends one weekend then hang out with the other girl the next weekend, you have to find a balance in your friendships, if someone doesn't want to be your friend because they don't like your other friend then they are not a true friend.

MelLeDisko answered Sunday September 10 2006, 5:26 pm: Well, what I would do is just divide the days up per group. Like, since there's 5 days of school, you sit with the group of girls Monday, Wednsday and Friday and sit with the other girl Tuesday and Thursday, or the other way around, whichever. What I think would be alot easier on you is to just split the lunch period half and half. Spend half of it with her, the rest with the group of girls. You shouldn't have to ditch one for the other, you should be able to hang with whoever you want. You'll just have to learn to balance your lunch period. I hope I helped.

angie91 answered Sunday September 10 2006, 5:26 pm: Hey. I know how you feel. But you shouldnt have to choose. Sit with the girl you met first, first and then the next day you can sit with the other girls if they cant except the fact that you have other friends then they arent worth worrying about. good luck [ angie91's advice column | Ask angie91 A Question ]
Exquisitechick answered Sunday September 10 2006, 4:44 pm: Awe. I know what these feels like. It not the best situation. Well, tell the sweet girl you will sit with her certain days, and tell the other girls that you will sit with them on certain days. You dont want to be unfair about it and only sit with one person. So, just kinda sit switch.
ohsolovesurfing answered Sunday September 10 2006, 4:33 pm: umm ya that happend to me b4 and like you are allowed to hav more than 1 friend (or groups) of friends so like just explain to her the story and some days you can sit and hangout with her and other days you can sit and hangout with them..as in doing this make sure that you never ditch anyone and it should work out
well i hope i heped
