    Left out and forgotten until later on

     

    I'm moving from secondary school to college, and I've been hanging out with a group of people who I know from my secondary school who are going to the same college as me.

     

    However, the past few times they have met up, I have not been invited until it is actually happening at which point I either can't or I'm too upset to go because they keep leaving me out and forgetting I'm "a part" of their group. I feel like they don't want me to hang out with them and that they aren't being truthful about it. There's one girl who I've known since Year 3 and she is the only one who actually wants me there, but I don't want to go in half way through the meet-up just because she's the only one who wants me to be there as far as I can tell, and even then she only invites me whilst they are already meeting up in town.

     

    I find it difficult to make friends as well, meaning that I can't just go off and make new friends when I feel like it. I want to feel like I belong outside of my youth club, but this group makes me feel worse than any other group when I end up getting left out.

     

    PLEASE HELP ME ON HOW TO MAKE SURE I'M NOT LEFT OUT AND NOT FORGOTTEN!! Thank you

    Aww, just stick with the friend that is loyal and kind to you, I'm sure you'll make new ones in time, you might surprise yourself. Plus, tell someone you trust about the situation, like a family member or someone like that.

    I really admire a girl who may be going to college, I'm devastated that she might be leaving though she barely knows me and I'm 3 years younger than her. I just wish she was my sister, but she liked the good luck card I gave her during our school production, I just wish she wouldn't leave .
