My friends have all decided together to be "more mean" to me?

[Beth]

They've been drifting from me for ages but then last week I got quite close to them again and I was happy, and I got even closer to my old best friend.
They were all bring nice but today they were mean to me all day by doing sly things like purposly leaving me out or whispering in groups and making sure I knew i wasn't involved. I overheard them saying that my old bestfriend wasn't "being mean enough" and I know they've realised I was getting closer to them again so they've all decided to go together and change tha.0t.
I'm 16.

How can I get back at them? How should i respond? I know you will probably say make new friends or ignore them etc but I have tried that many times and they just get closer to the new friends I make.. I want to make their plan not work

I honestly don't think there's anything else you can do at this point. Maybe you could try talking to them and see what their problem is?

Good luck and take care,

With friends like these, who needs enemies? Just leave them behind and make new friends sweetheart. Ruthlessly exclude from your personal life anyone who brings you no joy

[Greg]

Hmm maybe you should try getting new freinds but make shure they don't know, then act like you going to get close to them but then do what they did to you with your new freinds

don't do any of the previous suggestions, they are for pussy's! Try to find some way to really get under their skin and annoy them, for example flirting with their boyfriends or something like that! If that doesn't work, make up a rumour or do something horrible to them. The only way to fight fire is with fire...fact!

My life in high school was exactly the same, so I'll tell you about what I did. I'm 21 now, and in my final year of uni, so we have now all moved to different places. Basically in school I was friends with a group of about 8 girls (I went to an all girls school so as you can imagine, it was hell on earth). I made friends with them in my third year because the first two years of high school I was getting bullied by a girl who posed as my friend to everyone else. When that all came out, I kind of forced myself into their group. They knew I was weaker minded than they were, so of course, the bitchyness began. There was another girl in the group as well as me who was also weak and they did the same things to her. It was silly things like throwing water on us at lunch and making out it was a joke (this would happen every day), throwing our stuff in the classroom cupboard and locking us in there when we went to get it, getting us with permanent marker on our skin and uniform, and being generally mean. That was when we were younger. They grew out of it a bit but found new more mature ways to be nasty. They knew I had low self esteem, so if I wore something new, they would look me over and look at each other silently sniggering to make me paranoid. I was really pale one summer, so I used some gradual tan, which looked fine and made me feel nicer, but they ripped me to shreds over it. I could go on but I don't want to relive it! I just got rid of them last summer. Basically all of them had lost their boyfriends, so while we were all at home over summer, they were bored as they had no boyfriends, and would always want to do stuff. I had a busy summer, so turned them down a few times. But my reasons for not coming we're never good enough. The last straw was when I told them I didn't want to go out clubbing because I had been feeling depressed, and rather than be there for me and make sure I was alright, they ridiculed me, and I was still in the wrong for not seeing them enough. They made me feel like I was the guilty one but I wasn't, so I lashed out and told them to leave me alone and not talk to me for a while. They started writing that I was pathetic and loads of other stuff on Facebook and twitter, I ignored it, and that was that. I haven't spoke. To them again, and I won't be ever again. They made my life a misery, yes there were some good times when they were nice and were my friends, but the bad times over rule that. I know you don't want to make new friends because you feel like they will sabotage it, but you need to. Tell those bitches exactly what you think of them, say something that will put into perspective how pathetic and nasty they are, and also remind them of the fact that this is high school, and they will be nothing after high school if they spend all their time being bullies, and that you will be someone. Say that you know you are the better, nicer person, and nothing they do will ever make that any different! Just let it out! You will feel better if you ditch them believe me!
