Let them...it's thier life, and you have yours...\n\n and I went without ANY friends (litteraly) from 7th grade till about the summer after my senior year in high school (thats a long time...let me tell ya')\n\n When God's judgement day comes..he will take into account what each of us has done...\n\n I'm a great encourager for people to find friends...thats why I'm becoming a youth pastor so I can help in that process... and so they won't turn out like I did (friendless for years, alone and nearly dead trying to commit suicide twice cause' litteraly no one cared...so if there is anything I can do to prevent it in anyone...I need to know cause' no one deserves to be friendless.\n\n If you are still having troble findings friends, pray to the good Lord above and he will provide your needs like he has done with me (I'm not friendless anymore because of his abundant blessings :)\n\n I'm willing to be a true friend (nothing perverted though) even though you are a stranger...I will be a true friend to you and never turn my back on you (unconditional friendship...anyone, anytime :) thats my policy.\n\nI hope I could be of help

Don't dare to call yourself a friend if you're hating your friend for being happy with someone good for her!\n\nFind another thing to do in live! You don't have to hang out? You can do other stuffs alone... Use the net and surf for good stuff. Write something, read something, do something that you can only do alone. Enjoy your moment of alone, cause sometimes when you need to be alone you can't have it.

That can go either way. It can make things better, or in the end you can have 1 less friend.\nGood luck :-)

evryone you meet or encounter everyday is a potential friend. if you choose not to develop a friendship with them, they are friends thrown away.

do not get entangled in emotions.its good that you try to help your friend,keep this habbit when ever possible and get new friends,donot expect much. but friendship is not 50:50 partenership, it is 60 :40,give 60% ,expect ,its only thing 40%.many times you will get  nothing ,do not think much in it.have self confidence.

because they were not a real good friend to begin with\n\nreal good friends go out of their way to help and do what's right.\n\nthey will either confront you with the problem so you can work it out\nor just hold it inside and not bring it up so not to hurt you.\nbut they will not stab you in the back..\nby the way you are awesome...totally awesome...

What kind of friends would make you feel uncomfortable and make you lie? Those are not friends! Tell the truth and if they dislike you after, you could get better people for friends.

I am so sorry. Going through High school with out your friends is hard. I would start by joining clubs - Year book, Cheer, Art...what ever your school has to offer. You will meet new kids that way. Sometimes friends just go away and it has nothing to do with you. I have a feeling you out grew them and they moved on, you can to. I know this doesn't make you feel better, but once you start being busy your depression will go away and you will start feeling better and make new friends.

Sometimes you can not be their friend. They probably will not like you many times, if you are being a parent. They will thank you later, though. Kids need structure. Kids can make friends. They need parents.

Well, I can sympathize... because I have been "walked over" by many friends.  I'm smart, academically speaking, and have made many friends who feel it is my duty to tutor and provide them the answers and help on all their papers.  Or friends who only call when they need something.  This is why I only have 1 real friend, and my husband.  It took a while to realize that people are shadey, and you can't always trust them.  Hard lesson learned.  Now I evaluate every relationship, asking "Am I getting out of this relationship what I am putting in?" and if I am putting in too much energy... and not recieving any of that energy back, then you really have to evaluate if it's worth it..

Dear Looking For..,\n There are many selfish people in the world that think 'if you are their friend you can have no other friends.' These people are insecure and they're probably some of the most depressing people you could choose to be around. Your 'suicide thoughts' might be because of this person is making you feel trapped and posessed by them (her). I advise you to get away from her and make new friends. She can grow up and except it or be lonely, but don't let her bring you down anymore! You aren't her property! \n\n If you have anymore suicide thoughts, Honey, go talk to your Mom or your school counselor, because you may need medicine to help you with depression. \n I wish you happiness and many new friends.\n           Hope_I_Helped!

I believe we have the right to distance ourselves from people, and situations that cause negativities in our lives.  We are are at liberty to purge our lives with anything that is harmful to our well being - physically, emotionally and spiritually. It may be difficult because the more you feel you need your friends the more they will (or seem to) behave that way. Sometimes even the most cherished friendships have to end.  They have served their purpose and it's time to move on to better things. I've been in your situation several times before and I did just that.  Now I realize that I have very little in common with these friends. I was just trying to fit in.
