Hi Alye.  It is much better to have a few good friends than a gang of friends.  You are better off not being in with a large group.  Those large groups pressure one another to do not so nice things.  Those mean people will grow to be mean adults, who will then have mean children.  It&#039;s a cycle.  Steer as clear as you can.  Survive it because you will turn out to be an amazing woman.  I know it&#039;s not easy, but don&#039;t punish yourself because of their miserable ways.  Remind yourself that one day, you won&#039;t have to have them in your life and they&#039;ll be frustrated when they continue to be immature and mean while you aren&#039;t.  They will loose their power and they will NEVER be happy.  Remember that; they are miserable.  They feed off of making others miserable because they are so miserable themselves.  It&#039;s too bad they are so weak that they can only feel strong by making others feel inadequate.  You are anything, but that.  They are the inadequate ones.  They are inadequate in treating others like human beings.
