My Best Friends Always Leave Me Out?

Well, there's 3 of us, Myself, Shannon and Bethany. We are all in UK Year 8 (American 8th Grade) And they always go off together and leave me out, and if I try and talk to Shannon about it she goes into a mood with me and they give me the silent treatment and say "Oh for gods sake not this again!" But I'm feeling really down and upset, like I sat next to Shannon in Registration (We have set places) and behind my back, they went to Miss Nicklin (our form tutour) and asked if Bethany could take my place and I have to sit by Casey, who has Special Needs and I'm acting like her halper all of a sudden and I'm scared my work standard may drop! I asked if Bethany would swap back with me but she said "No, because my mum won't let me" And there is no chance with shannon, and I'm getting really upset and theres no one else to be friends with. When I'm 18 I want to move to America and go to Harford Buisness School, so I'm aiming high and I had to get a scholarship to get into this school, but they just mess around. Please Help Me!!!! :(

    Please get NEW friends, they do not sound like true friends and it sounds to me that they've got a problems with themselves and that's why they are taking it out on you!! Your only in year 8 so no one's friendship is really set in stone so try and make new friends.

    Like someone else here I used to be a friendship where the girls will just ignore me and treat me like sh*t and not invite me to their parties and act like they didn't do anything wrong.... so I got up and left. Now, I much love my new friendship group and they just give me the evils but I don't care. I'm happy now.

    I had friends who did that to me throughout high school. They would have bonfires and parties but not let me know until it was all over and then act like I shouldn't be offended.

    I am a successful college graduate and now they want to be my friends. I get loads of letters and phone calls inviting me to my high school class reunions. The friend who was the class b**ch had the nerve to call and demand that I attend. My answer was, "I wasn't important to you when we were in high school and I really don't need you bothering me now."

    Don't worry about being left out; those girls may be doing you a favor. As someone has already said, find some new friends and just pretend the old ones are invisible. You have set some very good goals for your life and I'm sure Hartford Business College will be a great place to begin. Life has a way of turning things around and making bad things of the past turn out to be good things for your future.

    I know this is really hard to do, and easier said than done, but you just have to make them believe you are not hurt by the things they do and you don't care. Because them knowing they will get a reaction from you, is likely to make them keep on doing it, to hurt you as sadly people can be like this.

    If they don't get a reaction from you then they will wander why and soon want you more and will involve you in things more. You should, when they mention things that they have done together to you, even tho it is hard, answer with things like 'wow, that sounds fun, seems like you had a good weekend, etc etc'. Its surprising how many people enjoy seeing others hurt, and this is what they are both doing to you, but when they see it is not hurting you they will change because they are not getting what they want. Remember to stay strong and never lose yourself!!

    A true friend wouldn't leave you out. I, myself, was going through the same thing of being left out. It's hard, but it is something that is possible to accomplish. Be open to other people and start making new friends. Its is very good that you have started thinking about your future. Start looking for people who encourage you towards your goal :)

    Good Luck :)

    Friends come and go but knowledge stays forever. Instead of spending all your energy on winning over their favor, spend it in studying and just ace every test, you will notice better friends around you in time. As for Casey, don't go over board with helping her, make sure to help yourself first, only then you can help others.

    My reason is- ignoring them for a change combined with being smarter than them will make you cool and important in a sense. Give it a try its not like you have your friends to lose. one more thing - try not to verbally insult them just pretend like you don't see em.

    They aren't really you're friends hun if they go and do that to you. I'd suggest going and branching out to other people and going out with them. It might help you (a) not fell so left out and (b) make better friends.
