My friends lately, have been saying "sorry" to me a lot recently.
Me and a friend have recently fallen apart, and now one of my friends is "sorry" for being friends with her.
My other friends (with the exception of one) know about some kind of secret involving someone I don't particularly like, and i don't know what it is, and to be honest I don't want to. And every time they talk about it they say SORRY. All the time.
I respect that I can't do things, and I can't say things, and I can't know things that they do, and I am completely truthful when I say I don't mind. But then they say SORRY. Over and over again. And it bugs the hell out of me.
Is there a way I can get them to stop saying sorry to me without being rude to them?
I love my friends dearly, but I am at breaking point here.

They are not "hiding something from me".
They are keeping a secret for a friend.

Yes, you're right, we're girls in middle school!
It's one of "those" problems. If you know what I mean then you will understand.
But i will say it once more (though it will probably get annoying):
They've given me a few details to work with, and by the sounds of it they are right to keep the secret for their friend, which is why I don't want to know. I've taken to blocking out everything they say about the matter.

just tell them that sorry doesn't mean anything to you. sorry implies that they feel bad and won't do it again. but if they're saying sorry, and then doing it anyway, it's just empty words and you should point that out to them. I am totally with you on this one.

I think it is absolutely retarded for them to be acting that way. How old are they anyway, 14? The way it seems to me is that they like have this "secret" and tormenting you with it. It really is not that hard to not talk business you are not suppose to. It's a pretty sad situation and you have every right to be rude to them if you want to. They are being completely disrespectful to you and they need to stop. I am assuming you are girls in middle school because that is exactly what this situation sounds like.

Just be honest with them. Simply say, "I love you guys so much for supporting me, but there's no need to apologize all the time."
Just tell them that it makes you think about the whole situation all over again, and you just want to move on and be more positive. Tell them that saying "sorry" makes you feel like a victim or something, and you don't want to feel like that.
But just make sure you let them know how much you appreciate their friendship and their support, and that you know you couldn't ask for better friends.

Yes that word can be irritating
just say it like this but with a smile
"The word sorry is for sorry people" and leave it at that that will get them to stop

Once, my friends told me I couldn't apologize anymore. Everytime I wanted to say, "I'm sorry," I was instead to say, "Go f*** yourself!" If I uttered the words "I'm sorry," I had to buy the person to whom I had apologized a carton of cigarettes. So, if I stepped on someone's foot or something, I said, "Are you okay? Go f*** yourself!" It was hilarious, and it really helped me reduce my apologetic habit. I realize it is a bit crass, and that people shouldn't smoke. My current boyfriend makes me say "I'm awesome" instead of "I'm sorry." Substitute any phrase you want. Humor helps.

Every time they say sorry, scream the last thing you said in their ear as if they had misheard you, even if you are not speaking.
of get a taser and shock them every time thay say it.
Or just say NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!

"Thank you for considering my feelings. You are my friends and I trust you with whatever it is that you need to maintain between each other, so 'Sorry' is not needed. Thanks again for being considerate of me, but it is not necessary. I understand."

you should just tell them that them saying sorry is driving you crazy and that they have nothing to apologize because they did nothing wrong!
