ive got around 3 months left of school until study leave and i hang around with a group of around six people, most of them are really getting me down and they dont 'let me' stay at home on weekends or see other friends because they have a huge go at me if i cant go out, its almost as if they own me. they force me to pay a ridiculous amount for joint birthday presents, more than them, which i have no say in and make me pay for meals for them. They were forcing me to go on a girls holiday, however i managed to pull out of this, not by simply saying i didnt want to go but by making up some over exaggerated bull**** story about my dad going bankrupt and that i cant afford it, which they also caused an argument about, not surprisingly. They're simply spoilt little brats and are not nice people. I know i just have a short three months left stuck with them now so i am going to have to put up with them and there is no point moving groups at this late stage, however i was just wondering if anyone else was in this situation or how i can possibly deal with them?
