Find new friends. There are plenty of people out there in the world...and it is not worth hanging out with people as shallow as those. It sucks that you have known these people for 10 years, but if they were truly your "friends" they would not treat you like an asshole for something as arbitrary as a new person.

Yup! Although you may feel like shit, hang in there when in the end this just shows who your true friends are even if you have none left. You don't want to be associating yourself with them and it goes to show how shitty you're feeling right now. If you feel you need to isolate yourself some more, go ahead but you have to know that you need to move on and find new friends. I've felt quite abandoned before and it only just made me extremely emotionally numb and well it sucks BADLY as it left me more depressed than I was before. Hang in there yo and stay strong! Please feel free to send me a PM if you'd like!

You sound like you're pretty young from the actions of your friends; if this is the case, don't worry your friends will grow up or you'll find new ones, it's just people being incredibly immature.

Have they ever told you why they're shunning you this way? Getting blocked by all of them seems like it could be deliberate, since on facebook (for example), people usually build up long friends lists including people that aren't really friends at all.

Either way, it sounds like they're just shitty friends all-around. I'm sorry you're lonely, but trying to interact with them is going to be like bashing your head against a brick wall. The sooner you let them go, the better. Also, be wary if they suddenly have a change of heart and start trying to be friendly again. I'm wondering if one of them is a group "leader" and is guiding them into rejecting you, since they'll be friendly when you interact with individual members alone. Group-think and group behavior can be pretty toxic.

Only 15.

Also to the people in the thread make new friends, thats only going to be possible when I really go back to school as I have never really spoke to people outside of school apart from these " friends "
Although in school I am on good terms with all the guys since others and myself think I am aa funny guy. ( girls dont really like me at all since me and all of the guys who are in my class basically annoy the girls like typical immature boys and take the piss, haha )

I think the thing that started it off was when I was very good friends with owen and we were basically glued together a guy said we were like brothers or something and for whatever reason he got really embarrassed even though I just laughed it off and said we were as a joke. I dunno man, I think the group are a bit wierd in the way if you ask any of them if they like another guy in the group they just go " err I dunno derp "

Your previous friends seem like absolute douchebags. :/ I'd forget about them and just interact with all the people you meet once school starts again.

In the world of the young, those with naturally dominating, extroverted, outgoing and alpha personalities rule supreme.

Yeah, it kinda sucks

You could probably learn how to do it around the age of 18 onwards. Its kinda tough before then unless you learn fast as its essentially an exercise in social manipulation

When people grow up it tends not to happen as much and people can just be friends and get along with each other without all the bs

People are pretty dumb at 15, shit like that happens a lot less as you get older because the clique-y stuff stops. For me it was in high school but I know for some it takes a little longer.

Fight the good fight brother and press on. And by that I mean just hang out with people who are cool and ignore them if they do stupid shit like that.

Dude, screw them. If they were your "friends." They would not treat you that way for any reason whatsoever. Only exception would be if you were like an asshole to them, which I doubt you were.

Screw them. Make new friends. Don't beat yourself over this kind of stuff.

Sucks to hear. Peer pressure in high school can be so ugly. You have to remember that in the end all you need is 2 or 3 really good friends and the rest is bonus. It's really though if you are suddenly shunned by the whole group. If possible at all try to contact your best friend(s) from the group to go do something. Without the whole group being present there is a good chance they will still want to hang out with you (unless they are really spineless).

Anyway good luck with it.

I'm not sure if I agree with the people who says it gets better after high school (there's no reason why it wouldn't continue into university etc). I guess it also depends on where you are. But I do think once people enter the workforce, reality will start hitting them a lot harder and they are forced to wake up.

or u can pick up some new interests etc. expose ur self to some new activities [they might seem boring at first but become interesting afterwards]

play some ball or skateboard or whatever and try to make some friends. Who knows there might be some cool dude who share your interests. Or you can just play games all day until school starts haha. God knows I spent a shitload of summers and even schoolyears playing games. You can make a bunch of online friends.. but online friends are just that. Dont like get trapped in the internets or something. True friends with no bullshit are a treasure.

As you grow older, you will make many friends, but probably most of them will be acquaintances rather than true friends. Be cool with everyone but dont take it too hard if some of them end up being retarded.

ye this kinda happened to me. people change and especially in secondary school, every lunch break, i socialise with a group of friends but eventually new guys join that circle and everyone started to pick on me. it sucks but i found myself going library more (being alone), playing games more and socialising with game friends! and i prefered it. I also joined different clubs and made new friends. so yea growing up can be harsh but try to find a way to be satisfied with urself. the world is full of people, u jus gotta find them ^^

good luck bro and im sure u'll find better friends. Also, think really hard if it was ur fault or their fault or both. It's all up to u. u can either go try to confront with them directly or just say "f u too"
hope everything works out well

i wouldnt worry too much. i mean if that was the only reason (you liking starcraft) why they shut you out then you just had shallow friends or what you thought of as "friends" were really just acquaintances. finding real friends is actually quite hard, you have to sort through so much 'fickl-ity'(?) to find em. dont limit yourself to dudes; i was extremely surprised that i found gay people and girls to be much more pleasant to be around with.
