Yep. Bummer. Though I am doing satisfactory in school, I'm not doing well in the "groupies" aspect, or the friendship aspect. Simply put, I feel like an "expansion pack" rather than a "vital component" of the group of friends. It's like they need others and leave me behind, and they don't seem to mind. Actually my disposition with my friends is different:

My supposed best friend... I feel like she doesn't know me anymore. She doesn't know me to the point she doesn't mind me much, unless she has a question (she rarely asks me anything, anyway) and she replaced me with another best friend. The thing is, her new best friend knows that I was her old best friend but told him not to utter a word. I am NOT jealous.

Then, some of my friends (2-3 boys) always piss me off. They treat me like a toy, nothing more but a source of their enjoyment. For friends, they... remember only the times I got humiliated in class, make fun of me, make me their servant, and others that degrade me. So far, only one of them is not doing those stuff to me.

Then I have a friend who's a girl, and she seems to be the only one aware and concerned about my situation. I repay those favors by bringing her to her school service (the ones who bring her home)

My best friend's boyfriend (classmate last year) well... no comments. He seems to be friendly and is oblivious of friend problems.

Then I also have no comments about the others, actually.

The general point is, I feel like I'm not a part of the group rather just an unnecessary addon. I hate it. I just do.

Here's what I would do:

1. Tell them how I feel with the group. Only thing is they may think I'm overreacting and then some of them will get mad at me, which makes the scenario worse.

2. Do something that will get me noticed. Downside, they only notice me if I have to be made fun of. Otherwise, I can barely get their attention.

3. Leave temporarily (1-3 weeks) and find a new group to join with. If my old group is happier/doesn't mind that I'm not around, then I stay with my new group. Problem here is they may know me less, maybe to a point I'm just someone they know.

Any other suggestions/advice for a 14 year old student leading an eventful and troubled life?
