The Student Room Group

What should i do?

well, the problem is that i have kinda fell ut of a social circle. my supposed 'friends' have kinda turned on me...basically 2 guys started taking the mick and then everyne started beng funny around.

i feel thathis is hapened because i want to do well in m gcses and since i always get recogition from teachers/the best grades in all the classe i've looked like a know it all and too serious etc.

however, i don't want to go out evey night and get absolutely drunk as i feel that at 15 thats too youngand i wnt to wait till uni for all the parties, however i don'tobject to general drinking of alcohol.

so these lads have resisted being racist but i feel like they have singled me ou since i went to high school because of this although they really deny loads about their racism (im chinese). i know i'm more intelligent but they try to mae me look dumb etc. im so sck of the popularity contests and sayin who drank th most etc. i know because i wasone f the 'jocks' in prmary school who took the piss outof everyone: im now sorely regret it.

so, what should i do to make these people stop btw im seen as 'hard' although i justthink they say that because i look like a bodyguard. plus how d i integrate myselfwith my ne freinds who are relatively normal/// sorry fr the exceptionally long post.

How can you be a jock in primary school?! Were you the cool six year old that got completely caned off of his face and spent the next week throwing up?

why thank you for the help
Just ignore them and they'll stop; it's a cliche but cliches are common for a reason - they're often accurate!

Oh, and I think 3232 was only mocking. Don't get so uptight! :smile:

I'd reccomend getting new friends. Ignoring them won't really get you back into their social circle.

It might be worth cooling off your friendship with them for a bit, don't bother trying to be friends with the 'group' if they are ***** to you. On the other hand don't reject all of them on the basis of them being part of the group, if there are some lads who are your genuine friends amongst them then its worthing sticking by them.

I was in a pretty similar situation to you in year 11 and it gets loads better in Sixth Form (sorry if that feels like a long way away). The stupid ***** leave and become irrelevant, the slightly more intelligent people are forced to show you some respect because they realise that the people who are academically successful are going somewhere.

Don't worry about your repuation, no one will care once they get to know you. The drinking thing... may just have to end up conforming but don't become one of those
'i had four pints of strongbow, eight shots vod, and a pineapple bacardi breezer and i was paraletic mate' Nobody really likes those people.
If they were really your friends they wouldn't be 'funny round', best to find some others.
