Sweetie, you can contact the ones you like, and ask just to get coffee or something casual, and hung out with them. Don't worry about the others, they are not worth a second thought at this point. Just try to refrain from talking about them, and reestablish a friendship with the ones you care about. People grow and change over the years, and so do relationships. And no, some people never do grow up, and it's their loss, not yours.

Yeah I guess you're right. I'll have to try that. I just get paranoid sometimes...

It's okay, we love you just the way you are! And so will the real friends, I promise.

Not that I am not "real" - just a tad to far for a cup of coffee with ya!

Sowa, I went through something similar last year with a few of my "friends". Honestly, by the end of it all, I knew who my real friends were and just enjoyed my last year of high school. I know it really sucks, but you will see your real friends come out sooner or later. I know...it takes awhile sometimes, but it will come out. It always does.

I think several things are going on. First, depression makes things seem like they are not sometimes. Even small slights seem really large. I hope you are seeing someone about your depression. No matter how crappy your friends are, you and your mental health belong to you, and are controlled by you.

Next, not everyone handles death well. My best friend is odd about it. She loves me, knows how much I care for my pets, but doesn't really say anything to me when tragedy happens. Your friends are younger and might just not have enough life experience to handle things maturely.

Finally, you may have less than stellar friends. I am on FB. There are a couple of my friends that have friends that post such awful comments on their walls that it nearly makes me mad. I think, "why does so and so put up with such crap from a friend"? Maybe you have a few crappy friends that you have outgrown? You deserve better than what you are getting.

I wouldn't make it a big deal, I would just walk away and distance yourself from these people. Find new friends.
