writes:All of my friends have been ignoring me lately. It seems everyone else has their own clique except me, I'm thirteen. I only have about three friends I can actually talk to, and I have been feeling really depressed about this for a few months now. I feel like switching schools, but then again, I kind of want to stay at the school I'm at right now. What should I do?

reader, anonymous, writes (13 February 2011): The same thing happened to me except I lost all of my friends. I was 13 when it happened and now I'm 14. It is one of the most painful feelings in the world. They all told me that they didn't like me anymore and that "nobody likes me and I have no friends". This happened while my friend got a new gf and he turned into a jerk. Over time however they eventually became my friends again. If you could you should go to a new school or wait until they come back. That's what I did. Although I have alot of friends I'm not close enough to them that I would tell them about my life because of what they did. That kind of thing is unforgiveable so I wouldn't get close to them even if you do reconnect. Your best bet would be to go to a different school and start over.

 Anything in particular that makes you think that a new school is going to be better? Sometimes a fresh start is helpful, but usually it's no different. How about trying this: imagine how you'd behave at a new school, and do that where you are now. You'd be seeing new people, not knowing their history, and checking them out for friend potential. So take a new look at your school, at the people there, and particularly people you've written off because they don't seem interesting enough or cool enough or whatever. You attitude in a new school would make the difference; it can where you are now too.

 Make the next move! Girl you should feel confident and unafraid to face your so called friends. Be strong and stride up to them and seriously talk. Tell them how you feel and how badly it's affecting your friendship. If that doesn't work, be headstrong and go out there and get yourself even better, fresh new friends. Just be the one to take control of your life. Don't let your friends be in control of your life and your social life. If they don't like you, it's their loss, not yours. After all, whose ignoring who? It's not like your dying because they aren't speaking to you. Also don't switch schools because that will look like your trying to run away from all your problems. What you should do is get to the root of them and face them and find solutions. Hope that helped. Good luck!
