Question

What if I have friends who are jealous of my success and always trying to fight with me?

Community Answer

If your friends act like that, I don't think they're true friends! If you want to keep them, try to tell them what you think about them and their behavior. If not, tell them you would like to not be friends anymore or just drift apart. Make new friends with better attitudes.

Question

What should I do if a group won't accept me as a friend?

Community Answer

Don't beg to be friends; if they won't accept you as you are, they are not the right friends for you. Just be who you are and be friends with people who accept you.

Question

What should I do if I go to a small school and can't make new friends?

Community Answer

Try and think outside of school. You could search online for clubs or meetings in your area to make friends with similar interests. Try to get out more on weekends, and go to local events or to the most popular places in your area to get to know new people. If you're allowed on social media, hook up with somebody who seems cool and chat with them (while exercising caution). Also, maybe there are kids in your neighborhood that don't go to your school?

Why don't people like being friends with me? (I asked them and it only made it worse.)

Maybe try to be friendlier. My old friends didn't want to be my friend because I was "bossy" so I changed the way I acted and it got better.

You can try making friends at school. Try joining a club or sport. You can always invite friends to hang out at your house, or go over to one of their houses, and if you're lonely at home, text or call someone.

Question

How do I tell people they aren't worth my time?

Midnight

Top Answerer

Some people may seem annoying or just plain stupid, but there's nearly always another side to them.If you really want to risk being mean, tell them gently that they have been annoying you lately and ask them if they can stop. If they don't, get involved with some other people who are more your kind of people.
