I have this problem with this social group. it might tear up my confidence?

i joined dis popular group of kids(jocks/preps) but i was always at da edge of da social circle. wat ever i did 2 get closer 2 da center of da circle dey wood back me off like if i wasnt there friend. then i started to be da "target". dey manipulated me and always made fun of me. I couldnt stop dem b/c all of dem were doing it. dey broke my confidence. all i wanted was 2 have a social life. I decided not 2 hang out wit dem at all during da summer. now im starting freshman year. but now dat i got a sip of how it feels to be popular i dont want 2 leave dat group. dont say be myself b/c dis IS me. im just very sensitive and dats why dey managed to use me like dat. i spent my whole summer alone just thinkin to myself. im no longer da same kid. so wat should i do. just go 2 school and find a similar group(not neccessarily preps/jocks) and be in there social circle or take my chances wit my old group and hope they notice the new me and accept me 2 be closer to 2 da center of there group.!?!?

I think it's time for you to find some real friends who don't use you like a toy, and cast you off when they get bored. Those are not your friends. You need to find some real people who appreciate you for what you are. To do this, you don't need to belong to a "group."





Your wanting the popularity just shows that you enjoy the attention of your peers - well, if it makes you feel bad afterwards, then that kind of attention isn't really good. Try a one-on-one with somebody you meet. Try another approach and if you click with someone else, it may be better than being in a group that has no respect for you.
Reply:Why would you want to hang out with a group of people that make fun of you and view you as the outcast.Be yourself and find a new group of friends.Popularity isn't everything.Have enough pride in yourself to not be rediculed by this group of people.
Reply:maybe if you spelled right.. everything would be better.
Reply:if they do that to you maybe you dont actually belong to the clique.. take chance with another one and if it doesnt work go and make your own clique and find people who would be true friends with you and who would accept you for who you are.





* popular is not always a good thing.





good luck!
Reply:find a group of friends that like you and you like them, and stick with them and dont care what other people think
Reply:Stop trying to be popular because you will likely get your confidence killed, again. It may be that you're always on the edge because you want so bad to be popular. Be willing to make friends with kids of any social circle and you will meet some great (and not so great) people on the way.
