My school is small so I talk to almost everyone, but I'm starting to think that they're all not on my level of thinking. I don't think that I'm smarter or better than they are. But the things they talk about don't mix with me, they talk about drugs like they're cool, and try to advance themselves socially by talking about how much sex they've had. The few that I see at church regularly act like they have better things to do. To them, I think, its all advancing higher up the social ladder. They insult thier good friends behind there back to try and get in good with a particular girl or group I see it all the time and I wonder why anyone would insult a friend just to try and make others think that they're better than that friend. I heard my best friend make jokes about the exchange student right infront of me, and I hated him for it. I know it may sound stupid, but I'm starting to see all of this like I'm not apart of it, and because of that I'm distancing myself from them what can I do?

Do you truly think that what these people are doing is right? I live in the same sort of situation, small school, and all the people recently started talking about drugs and sex. Don't be afraid to say, no i am not going to be a part of that. If these people are making descesions that could permanently ruin there lives, are they the right people that you should be hanging out with? Don't follow the click because there is no other people you can hang with, don't play along because you want to be thought of as popular. Follow your heart, there is always someone out there that is like you, find them.

I do get what you're saying I distance myself from people sometimes too and it is because of how they are or who they are. I honestly dont think its a problem to back away from people like that because staying with them is only going to make you look bad... its like guilty by association. I stopped being friends with people that annoyed me and did this and that and it was stuff I wasnt confortable with. I'm not saying my life is now perfect but I feel its better because now I dont have THAT kind of frustration and stress on top of the stress I have now. Ya know? I dont know how old you are but I think you have plenty of time before you're older to figure out who you are and who you wanna be friends with. This might sound like a bad thing but play them like cards. Keep and eliminate the good and the bad ones. You dont want that kind of arrogence and negitivity around you because after while its gonna drive you crazy. So just think about those people and if you really need to hang with them, think of the kind of people you wanna be friends with and watch out for them.

Don`t worry about it. Everyone feels that way and does it at one point in their life. I`m kinda going through that too, except it`s just with my friends from another school. I feel like I don`t fit in with them, but I still hang out with them, we have a few common interests. In your case I would just say make new friends. Easier said than done, yes I know, but would you rather find friends that you actually have things in common with? Ones that don`t talk about how they "scored" or the drugs they have/do? Or would you rather have friends you can relate to? It`s your call, but that`s what I`d do. Actually I just started realising how much I hardly relate to my "group" at the other school so.. yeah.
Good luck with it though.

Do you definitely imagine that what those anybody is doing is nice? I stay interior an same form of undertaking, small college, and each of the people lately began talking about drugs and sex. don't be afraid to declare, no i'm now no longer likely to connect that. If those anybody is making descesions that ought to favor to thoroughly wreck there lives, are they the right people that attempt to be spectacular out with? do no longer stick with the clicking because there is no longer any people you are able to draw close with, do no longer play alongside because you want to be considered as time-honored. shop on at the same time along with your heart, there is continuously someone available it really is like you, bump into them.

Well i dont think theres anything you can do, try to get good trustworthy loyal friends. I honestly think ur pretty smart for not stooping down to their level. drugs and young sex are very bad for you and doing all that **** well come back to get them later, and for that matter you to if you give in, which i dont think you will, you sound like a good person,
Good luck
Bye
