This question causes memories to become as vivid as the clearness of the day. Speaking honestly, you can reach out and touch somebody's hand; make this world a better place, if you can.

Don't worry about what "they" think. PERIOD.
Just be the "new and improved" you, Against
all peer pressure, don't revert back to the old habits.
You just might find that they want you to revert back-
because they don't want anyone to rock the boat. If
you were considered the loser last year, and have
changed, then the crowd will have to pick on another
among themselves. (Make sense?)
I was a "chubby" kid. When I lost weight, not everyone
was supportive as they had to look at their own image.
Watch out for the catty people and be the person who
you were meant to be. You'll do just fine.
I also noted along the way, that the kids I hung out
with in high school moved on to new and different things
and I just see them at reunions. - Don't care about what
they think now. Only care about what you think about
yourself. You'll always have YOU- they'll fade by the
wayside over the years.
Good Luck!

Congrats on making a positive change for yourself. I am seeking that as well. I do believe that keeping yourself in that situation could bring you down. Find new friends! (based on who you are now) You changed because you saw that there was something wrong with the lifestyle you were living. Good things will come to you because of that. If you fear that you will revert to your old behavior in their presence... then you probably will. Be Strong and Good Luck!

If you changed for the better and more righteous than you once were, then by grace, stay positive, and stick to what you believe in. If your behavior comes out of goodness and not out of evil, goodness will prevail, and hopefully, your friends will also change for the better. Thats the ideal outcome. If your friends talk down to you due to the changes, then they aren't your real friends, nor friends you would want. Friendships come in different forms, but when it comes down to it, the people you can count on, are the same people that want to see you grow and will nurture that idea. U have to remember that u changed because you became more aware of your behavior; till your friends realize why you changed, and how you came about changing, they will never completely accept the new you. For they have grown to be confortable with the old you. Also remember that the friends we choose, we choose them because we share common interest and beliefs. In your case your beliefs have changed, and as hard as it was for you to come to terms with yourself, so will it be for your friends to come to terms with the new, and more mature you.
