I don't know what to do
Letting go of "friends" turns out all my friends are fake. Kinda sick of it. How do I find real friends? should I even bother to find friends anymore? I mean really, what's the point in having friends? all you end up doing is get hurt by them in the end. I'm so lost. I just need to cry. am I a bad person? I don't think I am. I try to make everyone happy and include everyone in everything, is that bad?

Honey I hate to say this and sound like an adult, but most people are fake at 16. My little sister is also 16, and this is a huge problem for her too. Their insecurity and lack of a handle on who they really are is why they act the way they do. I said to a friend today that one thing that being this kind of sick teaches you is who your real friends are. I have 5 real girlfriends. I used to have a lot of friends, but trimming the fat is sometimes necessary. I\'m sorry you\'re going through this, and it really sucks. Try to surround yourself with positive people. I\'m sure you have a few friends who haven\'t completely dissed you. I know what a huge part of your world your friends are right now. It\'ll pass. For now, focus on getting better so you can enjoy high school again. As a people pleaser myself, I\'ll tell you what my dad always told me... You can only please half the people half the time, but you can please yourself all the time. For now, you take care of you. I\'m sorry you\'re feeling so down. Girls are so mean. It\'s why I\'m spending my saturday night blowing off the girls and hanging out with the boys. AT least they aren\'t fake or jerks :)
