I'd call myself a bit of a loner as i only have 2 friends and theyre not even close they all like rock and im the total opposite so i'd say i dont have friends. On myspace i posted a bulletin saying "CANNOT WAIT UNTIL YEAR 10..NEW CLASSES AND NEW FRIENDS" but my two friends took it the wrong way and started saying it in a sarcastic manner saying im pathetic, im an attention seeker, i have no life, im an idiot, im stupid, im horrible etc... but the thing is i really really didnt mean it in any rude way.

I've tried explaining to them and they've said its unforgivable because im a liar and all i want is attention but the reason i posted that bulletin was because i was extremely BORED and i was literally falling asleep so i posted a bulletin about something i was really looking forward to and when i said "new friends" i meant i'll be in different classes so i'll make new friends and now they're being completely unreasonable.

I've actually been crying for the past half hour because i didnt mean it in a bad way at all, so basically im dreading school tomorrow and those 2 are in all of my classes and they are the only people i hang around with and UK schools work differently, you can't wonder around the school by yourself.

I dont know what to do? I've tried talking to them, all they do is add sarcasm into everything they write. They're constantly swearing on bulletins towards me all over one minor bulletin i posted about something im happy about and now they've made me cry cos 1st im sad of the fact that i dont have many friends and now this has happened.

I dont know what else to do?

I concur with the other Aunts on this page, dear. These people aren't your friends. They really are quite immature and petty, aren't they. You really do realize that...don't you? A good, solid friendship involves respect and consideration. A friend is someone you hold in high regard, and with whom you share a mutual trust. Friends will be there for you, both in the best and the worst of times. It appears you don't have that with these friends.have Hanging onto friendships that are "barren"-where you get little in return for their efforts, is not worth it. Giving and giving is emotionally draining..and it sounds like you have done your share.

Friends do have disagreements. That is a given. And when we try to see things from our friend's point of view, we always choose our words carefully, out of respect. Your friends aren't doing this with you. Perhaps that bulletin on your 'myspace' was your 'sub-conscience' saying-it really is time to move on and consider focusing your attention on a few new solid, sturdy friendship-those with strong ties and the potential for healthy, flourishing, fun times. Stay positive and keep happy! There is nothing you can do about these friends...they do not respect you. You are not losing a lot here, dear. So take care and move on to better, happier times to come.

Those people aren't your freinds, and you should be excited to get away from them and meet new people that actually have a personality. I agree that you should try to make new freinds, it'll be good pracitce for when you go to the next level. And try not to take it personally what these girls are doing, they just have low self esteem.

cd206 agony auntGoodness, I don't miss those days. I know you say you have no friends but to be honest I think you're better off without these two utter cows messing with your head. You sound like you have quite low self confidence but there must be other people you could be friends with. Just go up to people and start chatting. It often works out well like that. Or join an after school club and meet more people that way. I know how scary it is since my two friends dumped me when I was about your age because they wanted to be "popular" but the fact is that the amount of friends you've got doesn't matter at all. What matters is that you're happy within yourself. If you can achieve that then the friends will come flocking to you.
