Help. I'm receiving ignorance from friends. ?

Question

Since we started school, my friends changed and their interest of talking to me is little. I think because since they changed and they are more interest to those people who are like them. I'm not really not those kind of person. I felt used since i'm more in to school, they copy most of my work. They r also ma child hood friends. I had tried to hang out with someone who don't ignore me but they keep hanging out with them or she'll hang out with her other friends that I'm not fond with. I don't know where i'm at when they are like that.

Answer 1

Aw shucks. Some friends......

So you're not into the whole popular scene huh? Listen, I dunno if you're preppy or punk or ordinary or whatever else you are. EVERYONE adheres somehow to the popular scene even if we say, "I don't associate with cliques." At the very least, this is because there are a ton of other people who behave (or at least claim) the same principle, so don't think you're exempt from this.

I'll tell u a little secret though for how to not feel down in the dumps like this:
WEAK LINKS.
Acquaintances are the trick to not falling through. Wait you don't do MySpace or Friendster or Facebook or Yahoo!360 or......

Hmmmmm. I guess we have some work to do don't we.

Today's world demands more and more of us to get involved with the technological revolution that's been going on since the late '70s. Now I won't bore you with a tech history lesson, but u gotta get up to speed. Use your cell phone, use that mp3 player u got for Christmas (or ask for one from your parents after doing some chores) get a core email account (one which you 100% protect from spam), learn how to use a digicam, and do w/e else u gotta do (get a job, get yer drivers license, etc.).

Alright. Now that you're open for business*, lets get rolling.

*The Teen Economust has recently put out a report saying 100% of teens have sometime or another been engaged in a failing social entreprise. 58.9% of these have been with ex-boyfriends/ girlfriends, 27.8% have been with good or best friends, and the remaining 193.82% have been with petty rivals or acquaintances.
Fortunately, the Economust also says that 1050% percent of all teenagers who do recover from said failures become tremendous social successes. They note that the reasoning for how these percentages add up to above 100% is because for some reason, teenagers have an odd nature of spontaneously appearing or disappearing when "things go to hell."

OK, I'm thru busting on you. ;-P

I know you know that your friends are growing up as much as you are. So rather than get fixated on their success and have a pity party, why not go out and make some new friends on your own. Yes, you're concerned about offending someone or losing your innocence, but part of really growing up is understanding that the world is a very dynamic place. People, trends, and positions fade in and out all the time and if you try to live by clinging on to one or another, you won't be as successful as if u didn't.

Those of us who are on top of the world and seem to always know what's up isn't because we're lucky or have the world under our heel of intimidation. It's because all the Joe Shmoes out there believe in us. They believe that we can change the world at a moment's notice and that they should do what they can to be a part of it. Effectively, the Joe Shmoes have it backwards - the masses generate success, but it's the elites who manage and centralize them towards engaging certain goals.

So if you don't wanna put up with friends that abandon you, go out and make a name for yourself. You're young, so you can afford to gamble and take chances in order to find your strengths (the Economust also says that 2,374.82% of elderly people regret not trying something else out when they were young). Learn to joke, have some fun, and more importantly, HAVE SOME PRIDE!

Don't be another person's lapdog and don't kiss up unless the person has been stationed in a higher position than you such as your teachers, parents, and coaches. Your peers are just other players in the same game of life that you're playing, but if you wanna win, you gotta get in there too.

Now I know you don't wanna get caught up in the rat race, but don't worry. YOU won't. You're too smart to fall for all the stupid trix other people fall for and you know how to find out what's hot and what's not. Just keep it cool and get out there. The world's your playground. All you gotta do is get out there and start swinging. Before you know it, you'll be flying high and hitting home runs in no time.

Answer 2

(A) The confusion here, which is good, is the underlining meaning. People who say they beileve in Jesus but they only say that but do not believe it in their hearts. (B) & (C) They might go to church, give money to the poor but why are they doing this is it for selfish reasons, are they really comitted believers. Dont treat things on face value. (D) Bible states Matthew 7:13 NLT "You can enter God's Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way." Secular society has a similar parrable too "its a rat race." everyone is too busy about themselves that when its too late, its just too late. Its easy and wide to go with the flow but where exactly are we going. (E) this states we are not separated from God. Like a god or the God is far from a mortal human, so is a master and his slave, BUT Jesus says you are my friends, so you(we) are equals in a way. We can confide and share our troubles and pains joys and downs with eachother in bothways.
