So im in my last year of middle school and as you can imagine everyone cant wait to get out. Not only are people itching to leave but there also trying to find new friends...groups are separating and i don't no were to go...some friends hate over ones and everyone has become people i barely even recognize. I dot want to get swiped away in this gossipy situation but then what else is there to do? People are separating and i new this would happen but now that its here im confused on my place.

Last year in 8th grade i found myself growing apart from certain friends and falling out of friendships and making new ones. It was all very weird. I assume by now you know what high school you are entering next year. If you dont then you should start looking into it. I had a bad experience where after middle school i came to a high school where none of my old friends went. The thing is you have to have an open mind now. Things will keep changing and after graduation things will go by really fast and you have to be flexible. Be with the people who dont talk badly about others. Try to find those friends who are sincere and and avoid drama. Maybe try going to the same school as these people next year, or if you are trying to get away from the drama they create try going to a different school. You still have time but believe me that high school is a lot of fun if you stay away from drama as much as possible. And try to have fun this year- dont get hung up over guys, or worry about who said what about who, just make this a year to remember. Eighth grade is a great year if you make it one!
hope you have a great rest of the year =] [ iwantthetruth's advice column | Ask iwantthetruth A Question ]

And it usually occurs when there is something that unites them, such as sports, T.V. programs, or anything of a more "worldly" type; and when that thing is removed, everyone usually scatters to a more comfortable space.
My advice to you is that, if it is possible, to become that glue that connected all of your past friends and try to keep them together for the confusing times you are bound to reach. In the event that perhaps you may not be able to do such a thing, I would advice of you to always stay true to your values, to impose upon yourself a goal of a constantly improving "self", and to never succumb to any peer pressure that may lead you down a road that yourgood spiritual common sense would say otherwise.
