Kids can be rude and cruel. Keep telling yourself that you never want to make people feel that way, and one day you will be the head of a company due to your sense of respect, and they will be bagging your groceries :)

Thanks that makes me feel better. There are other places I can eat lunch so I think I'll try one of the other places.

Good thinking! Sounds good to me! They are not worth your time to begin with!

stick it out. break down their barriers. What you're up against is time and them starting to feel like you are part of the furniture. :)

I had that experience this summer. I found one of my former "friends" got it in her head that other women were after her husband and started avoiding me. Her husband is a nice man but ill and frankly, I had lost an ill husband and am not looking to be a caretaker again, so she had no reason to dump me out of her life. I think she is losing her mind or on medication. I took it badly at first but I will never consider her a "friend" again. I find a lot of older women do not like "widows" = we really are looking for females to talk to or play cards with; we are not desperate to replace our loved one with someone else's husband. I guess the ladies are outnumbering the men these days and are throwing away their good female friends. What a shame! I don't know how old you are, but find some new friends, these don't deserve you. Take the high road.

Do'nt just stick with the same friends. Make more friends. There are books and the internet about how to make friends.
I find that saying out loud when in class, where everyone can hear you. It can let people know me---easyer to make friends.

Thanks for the advice maybey I'll try that.

Smile and say hi to the kid that sits next to you in class. Then say hi to the other side. Don't forget the one behind you. Oh and there is another one in front of you. In every class. They all are lonely.....

That's a good idea I'll try to remeber to do that.

I feel that way and I am probably much older than you. I go out to lunch and unless I ask a question, I am ignored. Lately I am feeling like people only hang out with me when they want something from me. It gets depressing.

I am not sure what to do. I can eat somewhere else and because the weather is getting cooler, I can walk more.

Grateful we can share this stuff here.

Im sorry thats happening Koyu I hope things get better soon.

Thank you livingly. I hope things will get better for you too. Hugs.

I understand this completely. In middle school, my friends slowly started to ignore me and it made me feel so alone. Sometimes they wouldn't acknowledge me at all which led to a whole host of problems for me in high school and even now. They made me feel like nothing I said was worth listening to and so I rarely talked in high school. I tried in high school but I was really quiet and I soon found out they were hanging out and just not inviting me, which hurt. Now I'm in college and I feel just as alone as I did then, I have almost no friends.

I'm sorry this happens to you helloMrBlueEyes I hope you're able to find some more friends.
