Sometimes my friends annoy me. (If you really wanna know what I mean I asked another question about it a few minutes ago.) Anyway, I want to write some verses on my folders and stuff so I'll see them and remember them. What are some good ones that really apply to this situation? thanks!

"You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.'
Matthew 5:43-48
Then when you realize that this is impossible, ask the Lord Jesus Christ to come into your heart and become your Savior, and give you His Holy Spirit.

Friends against you? sad. Be nice to them anyway.
Proverbs 18:24 - A man who has friends must himself be friendly, But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
Romans 12:18, 21 - If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
Psalm 109:3-5 - They surround me with hateful words and attack me without cause. In return for my love they accuse me, but I continue to pray. They repay me evil for good, and hatred for my friendship

There is Faith and there is Religion . Faith is the very core and religion is the mechanics by which people worship . Christianity has several ways that the Faith is expressed each of us has been brought to Faith by our parents in their Religion . I believe that it is more important that people who are of basically the same Faith should concentrate on what they have in common than to nit pick about what they do a little bit different than one another . I have relatives of several different religions within my extended family , we all get along civilly , we all respect that we worship in slightly different ways ,but in the sum of all things , justification is by Faith alone ! Keep the Faith and don't concentrate on the little things so much !

Beware those who may have ways of discovering the interior of another, yet are able to hide their own. They seek only gain. Or....False friends are nothing more than shadows. They choose to walk through life with us while the sun shines, but in our dark moments they disappear from sight.

Joshua's charge seems very appropriate for your situation.
Jos 24:14 “So have respect for the LORD. Serve him. Be completely faithful to him. Throw away the gods your people worshiped east of the Euphrates River and in Egypt. Serve the LORD.
15 “But suppose you don’t want to serve him. Then choose for yourselves right now whom you will serve. You can choose the gods your people served east of the Euphrates River. Or you can choose the gods the Amorites serve. After all, you are living in their land. But as for me and my family, we will serve the LORD.” (NIrV)

"These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. "In the world you have tribulation, but take courage, I have overcome the world." (John 16:32, 33)
"...I will never leave you, nor forsake you; therefore I can boldly say, 'The Lord is my helper; I will not fear what man can do to me" (Hebrews 13:5b,6). Trials develop godly character. "...we exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character, and proven character, hope; and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us...

Romans 8:38 For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Ephesians 4:30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31 Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. 32 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.
Hebrews 13:5 Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said,
"I will never leave you nor forsake you." 6 So we can confidently say, "The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?"

well there's several verses in proverbs about idiots, fools (same thing), doing dumb things, adulteresses (whoops how'd that get in there?)
i say that the best way to get good verses is to read the bible for yourself
