What will you be doing over the Easter break? >>

should I drop my friends after exams?

My ''friends'' are really starting to annoy me and say the most back handed things about me and each other which is really draining. they've started rumors about me that aren't remotely true despite me asking them to stop. They make comments about my physical appearance but the minute someone does it to them it's the end of the world .They are so unserious about their futures that the minute i talk about mine they start to ridicule me (sorry i don't want to scrap by school with a pass). Some of them show slight microaggressions which makes this situation even more uncomfortable what should i do? Should i go no contact in the guise of focusing on studies then go to prom myself then finally cut them off as we aren't going to the same colleges/sixth forms. My only issue is that i would have nobody to be with/ hang around as they have skewed people's perception of me. Any advice? help!!!

side note- im not going to the guidance / welfare team they literally hate everyone

the short term "loneliness' is worth it, i was in a very similar position. these are not your friends, just people you hang around with, friends dont do that.

Your mental state is much more important. I would suggest distancing yourself from them at least if you aren’t ready to stop being friends. They clearly don’t care about you and treat you very poorly. That is the only sign you should need to see that they are terrible friends and that they aren’t your friends!
