Is it me?

Last year at school was amazing, I was once of the most popular kids at school. Everyone talked to me, i was always hanging out with people after school and on the weekends. But now since 9th grade started and that i'm in high school, its all changed. Thats made me change too, and i don't like it.. Anyone have any advice about getting back with my friends and stuff? Cuz im so lost. BTW, I was on the football team for the past 3 years with these guys and now they wont even talk to me. WTF did I do wrong??

First of all, you didn't do anything wrong. Secondly, popularity is a joke. In high school, people just change. There's nothing you can do about it. You said it yourself; you've changed! My advice would be to make new friends. These are the years that people change and you find out who they really are. You find out who you really are. High school is the place to find yourself. Everything that you're currently going through is normal, and many others share similar experiences. If you need help making friends, jut talk to people with similar interests. That should make the process much easier. Good luck with whatever you decide to do!

well did you do anything to isolate yourself? I would just slowly try to start reconnecting with your friends, esp those you were closest with. be like hey want to hang out. and being the most popular is not important. popularity is a joke. the important thing is are you happy and do you got a group of friends you are happy with. if your old group does not want you, try to find some new people to hang out with. just be you, don't be something you are not

I will try to give you more advice if you want it

Seriously don't worry about it. You should just make new friends. Most of the friends you make in HS you will never talk again with. I thought many of my older friends in hs I would keep talking with, but not really. They all moved on and slowly faded away talking, so it's just a transition period. I wouldn't worry too much, just make new friends.

Why are teens so obsessed with being popular
