a couple years ago i was very concerned with groups and where i fit in. my mom let me get through it the way i needed to and helped me where she could and i'm glad she didn't try to interfere a ton or tell me i was acting juvenile or something. i was, but i have figured out who my real friends are. you're right that groups are a big part of school today but what's most important is that you have good friends. your mom may not that understand that, but you're ultimately the one who has to make the friendships.

Here's the thing...
Her advice is coming from the years of wisdom gained through life.
Middle school today is no different than when your mother was your age. She's just looking back and telling you that in the long run, what happens in middle school isn't the be all and end all. That for the most part, you won't remember who was nice or mean, what happened at the winter dance or who did what to whom.
Her advice is valid. You don't need a group of friends to have fun. If you like yourself, and are able to find ways to amuse yourself, others will be drawn to your confidence.

Some parents get it.. My father used to talk to me about all my stuff, but now it's my mom, since I'm living with her and not him.. It just depends on how close you are to your parents if they'll talk to you about it and take you seriously.. A lot of people think that highschool builds your charactor for later on in life, but personally I think it's just useless.. What happened in high school social life will not affect you later on in life, so don't even worry about it!
and I am still in highschool, so I'm not talking out of turn here! ;]

you should try telling someone else, or at least explain that in you do have friends and you just feel left out. Alot of people feel left out in schools lately, and it's hard to talk to parents about it because they're a completely different generation

she eats more meals than u do. why r u so sure that wat she say is not true. u must have a friend but not the kind of friend that just have fun only. friends are there when u need them. and they can accept you no matter wat happens. they just accept you just who you are. they also forgive easily.

NO!!!! They're clueless when it comes to our life pretty much. They think they understand when they don't. And teens like me are suppose to agree and pretend that the parents understand and go and ask a friend later. DUH!!!!!!
