Hey, I'm in 7th grade too. Ditch them. Find new friends. I've recently became friends with 8th graders who are really nice. Frig popular girls........ they are stuck up, spoiled, and don't usually don't get good grades! As for dating....... you don't need to date, you're in 7th grade! If your friend prefers to hang out with other people and is so desperate that she will lie to you then you don't need her. Find a new best friend! If you ever wanna talk I'll be here.

Find some new friends! If your friend is ditching you for the popular group you need to find some new friends! Dont ever try to be in that popular crowd or think you have to be. You are probally a very sweet girl. Your time will come where you will blossom and then you might be the popular girl! as for now have fun 7th grade is what I teach and a lot of my students change in this year and develop new friends. Good luck on your year!

Don't rush to be caught up with everyone else, you'll be ready for dating when you're ready. I can't say that you'lll ever necessarily grow to like the same things they like or be in the "popular" group, but sometimes it's not always good to be in the "popular" gorup. If your best friend was worth keeping she wouldn't be ditching you. It's hard to hear it now, but in 10 years none of this will matter and I bet that half the girls in the popular group will be raising a kid by themselves because their man ditched them for whatever reasons (it's even better when they're divorced), and any time that you run into them around town they'll say "Hi J|ane!! It's so great to see you!! How have you been?" and act like the two of you were great friends in school. Girls are like that sweetie, I'm sorry, you're better off making friends with the guys, not only do you get the inside track on what they're interested in but girls are always jealous of their boyfriends' homegirl. Whatever happens though, don't compromise yourself, don't do something just because you want to fit in or you want some guy to like you. When it comes down to it you need to be happy with who you are, not somebody you think everyone else likes.

Get involved in something...sports, a club, band, etc. Don't worry so much about being "popular," because in high school it will all change again anyways. But if you have a hobby that you can make friends in it will be easier. Develop yourself into a person with interests and meaning, don't just concentrate on popularity, clothes, and guys. You will get further and be happier in life if you aren't shallow.

Your "friend" is not a true friend at all. Im sure you will be able to make another friend. Im in eighth grade and I know how it can be sometimes. Just remember don't try to get into the popular group by not being yourself. Always be yourself and im sure you'll find a friend!

People do change and move apart, no matter what the age. It's not necessarily good or bad, it's just the way it is. You will find new friends. Just keep on developing your own interests and preferences. Be the person you want to be, you'll be happier following your own inner voice than trying to follow the "crowd".

you're too good for that. Just be yourself. i, for one, am in the 8th grade, but i totally know what you're talking about. And about your friend, i actually went through a phase w/ my old best friend, and she was splitting apart from me. we are okay now but not exactly best friends anymore. It seems everyone wants to be in the 'popular' group, and there is no such thing as 'the popular group'. i didn't let that bother me and drag me in.

Get new friends. there has to be some people that will except you. start wering fashionable clothes, maby seeing if you like any of the guys. And if your friend wants to come back to you, don't let her, no matter what. If it turns out she was being used, don't help her.

I'm going to eigth grade and I know how tough seventh grade can be. It's all full of cliques. Just find some people with your interest and that you know won't betray you like she did. If she comes back to you for help help her out but you don't have to be her friend if you don't want to.
