I feel left out by my friends lately?

I'm 17 and I have this group friends (7 of us). We always hang out at school but not so much outside. I always see them posting on twitter and Facebook "had a great time at the movies/beach/park/mall w/ (all of them except me)" they never invite me and even talk about the parties they go to in front of me. Are they really my friends?

I felt like this often. Do you try to be included, or do you wait on the sidelines for someone else to invite you. Sometimes, you have to ask to be included, or they will forget you exist...

You should invite them if they all say no there probably avoiding going places with you

I have the same problem, it happened in high school and its happening again in college. I thought I could forget about this petty high school drama but it never goes away, you just have to learn to move on and find a lot of new friends. It sucks but its the truth, I don't know how people have best friends all throughout their life. Like meet them in elementary school, have them be a groomsmen/bridesmaid at their wedding and hang out when they have their own kids. It makes no sense and I just think we go through friends in a cycle and we get new ones every few years. Its the circle of life.
