Why are my friends suddenly treating me like crap?
I've been friends with these couple guys for about 5 years, and we've always got along quite well..
My best friend, Will, has suddenly become a bit more popular (I've always been more well-liked than him) and it seems to have gotten to his head. He always tells me to shut up, whenever I say ANYTHING, and just generally acts cold. He ignores me a lot, and acts like I don't mean anything.
Quite a few guys are suddenly sucking up to him for some strange reason, and are saying/acting just like he is towards me.
My other friend George has recently overcome depression and has gotten into better physical shape (he was always fat, and he's still about 20lbs more than me) and is now calling ME fat.
He starts lots of fights, and then just ends then with "Forget it, I'm done." and everybody supports him.
I asked Will a few weeks ago if he was trying to end our friendship, because if that's the case, I'll just walk away - he said he wasn't and has no reason to.
I don't know what to do. They've been my best friends for most of my school life, I don't know what I'd do without them. But for the past few months, it's just been hell.
It's not right for me to constantly think about how great it would be to just kick the crap out of Will...
I don't know what to do. :|
The most ironic part is that I'm in better shape than the both of them. I've played football for 5 years... (I'm a sophomore btw).
But yeah, I just don't get it. I mean, if I'd known these guys for a few weeks or months, I'd be telling them to **** off, but because they're such long-term friends it's pretty difficult. :[

You need to find some new friends by the sound of it.
It would be good for you to to increase your circle of friends anyway and spend a lot less time with Will and George. Either they will begin to miss your company and start to wonder WHY you are spending less time with them and maybe treat you a little better or, more likely, you will realise that you are able to find new people to hang out with who will be much more fun and treat you decently and not constantly wind you up. It is not compulsory to remain friends with your school mates for the rest of your life you know, people do grow apart and change a great deal as they mature.
Good god, I would rather eat my own foot than spend time with any of my old school friends!

alright this is my advice for you because i go through the same thing,
Maybe the popularity has gotten to Will's head and i know this sounds like something you would hear in a movie but seriously tell him how you feel and if he doesnt respect how you and feel and take it in to consideration then i dont know if he is really your friend anymore. i dont know what grade you are in but i just started high school and you really do mature a lot. from 8th to 9th grade i know i matured and also i found out the true colors of some of my best friends. i was always the one targeted in our group and finally i was like enough this is crazy. you guys are treating me like crap and im no longer going to stand for it. i have other friends that i can hang out with and if your going to be like this then im sorry our friendship is over. i know it sucks but you are way better than that. maybe he will understand and respect how you feel and try to change his behavior.
George you had said overcame depression which is awesome that he is all better now. the weight thing is great too but if he is calling you fat then thats not too nice. i would again tell him that hey you know what when you call me that i take it to heart and i would really appreciate if you didnt call me that anymore. say it in a nice way so he understands where your coming from and doesnt take it like your accusing him.
i hope everything works out with your friends because it sucks to lose a great friend. i have had to do it recently and it was very hard on me because we were the best of friends. i do miss her and it sucks that shes gone but i dont hate her. and dont hate george or will if they dont respect you. still be nice and say hello sometimes. hope all this helped(:

Be the mature guy. Obviously, he has wanted to be "popular" for a long time and he is trying to get people to like him. Being rude and mean is considered "cool" where I am, so maybe he wants to be "cool". I think you friends are just fat jerks who need a life. Get some new friends who actually like you.

Shes having some extreme very own issues, regularly the guy takes it out on somebody who's relatively on the verge of give way of them by way of fact they suspect you are able to stick around and take it - its not that shes being advise, purely being egocentric and additionally shes somewhat careless yet doesnt make her a very undesirable individual. perchance you're able to dig deeper in spite of the very incontrovertible fact that some say the bigger the hollow the bigger the difficulty. i think of she trusts you, perchance shes somewhat peeved that no person gets her, not even you - how ought to anybody else probable get her and then comes all this obstacles, hates and stuff insecurities - consult along with her - emotionally.

You seriously need to get some new friends.
Are you sure there isn't anything you did to them, or maybe said about them to someone else?
Like, for instance, that George is fat, and Will is unpopular..
Not that it's your fault, I'm just saying, if your friends are acting like this to you, they aren't really your friends.

if nothing is getting better within the next 2-4 weeks with the friend based relationship, turn against them and make other good friends.

Leave them.
Make new friends.
Get into shape, do things you love. It'll give you alot of self confidence.
Show them that you dont need them.
