I really want to change classes


Question Posted Thursday December 29 2016, 5:01 pm

Female, 15.

Hey, so I am a part of a friend group of 7 people. The thin is for the past few months I have felt like they are the people I used to be, and not the people I want to become. I don't find what they find funny, I don't have much in common with them, etc. I don't feel that I belong with them anymore and I have been really wanting to make new friends next year. So recently classes have come out. I know that my class has someone in my group in it and I had her in my class this year. I know that if I try to make new friends then she'll just follow me. I definitely don't have much in common with her at all, and we have two quite different personalities. Because I sat next to he in class this year, the teachers would compare me to her. they'd say "you sit next to ****, so why don't you do as well?". I would just try to sit with someone else, but I don't know how, because I feel like that would be rude. throughout this year, I was hoping that my class next year would have new people in it. no one from my friend group. What class I'm in is important in making new friends at my school. I want to email whoever is in charge of classes and request to move classes before the school year starts. What would I say in the email? I think that this doesn't seem like a valid enough reason.

You are right that it may not be a valid reason. You didn't say what classes the other 6 are in.
So lets say that for some reason miraculously they allow you to switch to another class. What if two or more of the others were also in that class. I still consider a school to be a public place like a library, a park, a store. When it comes to public places, you usually can't avoid having to have contact with any unwanted people. You are predicting that this gal will tag along. How many predictions in life have you made that came true. Perhaps she might try to tag along. At school its hard to stop her being a public place. However if your new friends don't like her either, then you can spend time at each others houses, without inviting her. If it comes down to having to explain to her, just tell the truth as it scientifically is a fact that people in teen years and college change and grow very quickly from who they used to be to someone different and you no longer feel with the changes you've made that she is a good match for a friend. And you will feel more challenged and fulfilled with new friends. And say that it could as easily have been her to change so much that she no longer had wanted you for a friend and was telling you the same. It's common during these years. Of course put it in your own words.
