High School?

I'm a senior in high school, and this year I had really been hoping that I would be able to make friends with a group of people whom I've always liked and they've liked me but we've never been able to get close because I've felt guilty and obligated to be friends with other people. I had decided over the summer that since this was my senior year I ought to try and not worry about other people so much because I had wasted so many years. Basically what happened instead was I was, like always, too afraid to ask, even though they really seemed to like me, (invited me to work on a project with them) I was too much of a coward and nothing ever came of it yet. Then a few months later I was working on a project with this one girl whom I like as well and she seemed to be as inviting as the other group and asked me to sit at the lunch table one day. The thing I worry about is getting to close to either of them now, because it is two different groups, and even though they associate with each other, they're clearly two different groups who don't do things togather. I know I could be friends with both of them, and I am, but sitting at a lunch table in our school really reveals who you want to friends with, as ridiculous as that is. I don't go to lunch anymore just because I don't want to be seen as with one group or another. I feel like each group has been equally as inviting and I don't want to seem like I'm rejecting one. Since the second group invited me I feel completely trapped, especially since these groups are fairly adversarial and I'm a very neutral person, with many different acquaintances from different groups, and this has made my depression a lot worse than it was. So I've just been thinking lately I should just forget the whole thing, I only have a few months to go and I just screw it so I don't offend anybody. To be honest, at the beginning of the year I was really optimistic, but now I'm just so burnt out and tired of this BS that I can't honestly say I know whether I want to be friends with either of them anymore. I mean do you think I should just give it up or try something else?

High School?
Do what your heart is telling you to do.
Reply:Life is short to be worrying about this kind of thing.





Do what YOU want to do---do what your heart tells you to do. Better yet, your gut feeling.

Reply:Don't waste your time trying to be everybodies "buddy". Sometimes you just gotta stick with the people you have. (If you have any). If I were you, it wouldn't matter to me if a certain group of people let me hang out with them. Get them to hang out with you!
Reply:Just go to both jezz its not that hard. Hang out at one walk to the other hang out over there.
Reply:i dunno, just sit with whoever you are closest with most of the time and then sit with the other group once or twice a week. Its not a big deal, they arent going to get really angry if you sit at hte other table. If they do...well thats pretty stupid.
Reply:im sorry, but i did not read any more that the few first sentences, and the last. honostly, i think you shouldnt care. its your senior year...these are the things i am goin through as a sophmore. be cool with everybody, versus just one clique. you'll be glad you did come graduation
Reply:Don't let all of that crap stress you out! When you get to college you will get to hang out with whoever you want to and not be stuck with a certain group of people. Just get through the rest of high school and you will seriously be amazed at how different college life is! Good Luck!
Reply:I thought school was mainly about getting an education. At least you can write a decent sentence which is more than I can say for the majority of the dickheads who write here. Sh*t, you just wrote an essay about nothing. Can't wait for the sequel "do my friends like me II".
