well, if u have the strength, ignore her, or confront her, like seriously. dont except the little giggle of an answer from her. Tell her how you are feeling. See how she responds, and if she doesnt seem to care then she's not worth it..(no offense)

play the numbers game.\n\nmeaning try to make friends with everyone.\neveryone won't be your friend, but some will. out of those some, you'll get a real friend.

You live and you learn and eventually you find someone who knows what friendship really is. If she doesn't try to get intouch to discuss the situation then move on and get yourself ready for college. ENJOY!!!

i had the same problem about 2 months ago.. i told her to change and be herself. she didnt listen and i told her i dont want to be her friend and she ignored my other friend and left the class.. the best thing is get it over with now and tell her that u dont want to be her friend unless u really care about her

I would suggest that you get involved in a school activity so that you can make new friends and get to feeling more confident in yourself. Find a positive group of people to be around so you won't be lonely and you'll be busy with the activities too.  I was shy and bashful at one time.  The drama club at school really helped me.  I see why that person is an ex-friend. Even if something happened and the friendship ended, that's no reason to make fun of you.   Hang in there and don't become like your ex-friend - making fun of people. You be the better person.

Spend a little less time with them at a time, until you just don't see them very often. If they ask you to do something with them and you don't want to go, tell them that you're doing something else. Eventually they probably won't ask anymore. Meanwhile, find some new friends to hang out with. If you spend more time with your new friends, your old friends will get the picture. Don't walk up to your friends and say "I'm not going to be friends with you anymore," because that will just make them mad, they won't listen to you, and you'll sound like you're in the first grade.

Just act like a good caring giving and responsible man .. be light and sharing ... become appreciated at school for all what you do .. don;t be pushy, or rushing, or silly , or over reacting .. keep smiling even if she let you down .. you can still be good friends ..

just be yourself, if they don't accept you for who you are then it's their problem. however, you should try to be nice and friendly, if your shy then for once, you'll have to speak up and be the first one to say "hi"

Be yourself. It is hard to be new in a school. It is hard to make new friends. But it will happen. Find people that share your interests. Don't ever try and be someone your not because your not being fair to yourself.  I have always told my children that if you have one true friend then you are far luckier than someone that is in a crowd and not able to be themselves.  Have confidence in yourself, and always be true to yourself. Good luck at your new school.

Yes, let those people go if they are holding you back.  You said you'd be going off to college soon, and that will be a great start for a new social life.  In the meantime, start distancing yourself from your friends; spend more time reading, going new places and different places than you normally hang-out and maybe you can start meeting a whole new "mix" of people.  Good luck, don't let anyone or anything hold you back Girl!!!  Go Get Em!!!!!!!!!

Just be yourself and keep all the friends you have.  If someone doesn't like a friend of yours, tell them to handle it themselves and leave you out of it.  You are not a messenger nor a mediator.

Make a new friend. Start a hobby. Volunteer. In other words, keep busy and make friends. You'll put these traitors in the past and feel better.

Just talk to people if you don't know them but this is reality so don't go actin as if you the bomb and stuff and if your in school sign up for somethin to make friends. Warning!!!!!!:Do not go talkin to popular people because they'll make sure to embarrass you until the end of school or somethin.

you should just stick with the friends you have.  As time goes by you will get to know the people in your new school better and make more friends.  Don't focus on the quantity of friends but the quality of the friends you do have.  As time passes, i promise you will have more friends as long as you be yourself and not try to hard.  BTW! Popularity is way over rated and as long as you enjoy your teen years and not worry about being popular you will be a happier person.  When you are in college and an adult you will not be friends with those people anyway and you will look back and wonder why to put so much pressure on yourself to have so many friends.  But, to help, join some clubs and participate in school activities, you will meet people that way.
