Hey guys..

this is my first post on here, but I just feel so left out sometimes by my friends. I'm 15 and I have a great group of friends don't get me wrong, I love them to bits. But sometimes they don't treat me as well as they treat each other. I feel like I'm left on the side a lot and I don't feel as liked as everyone else. One of the girls in the group (lets call her Molly) used to be my best friend, and we've slowly drifted over the past year, however now she constantly acts off with me and I feel as though she always makes snide comments whenever I'm there. To be quite honest, she's treated me like a complete b**** and always distances herself when I'm around and makes me feel as though I'm not welcome in my own group of friends. The thing is, she has a strong opinion so the others tend to follow. We had a fallout about 2 months ago however we sorted things out eventually but now she's started to randomly act off with me again and I definitely haven't done anything wrong. When she acts off, it affects my friendship with the rest of my group of friends. One of the girls (Issie) is like a sister to me, but it annoys me when she changes around Molly and I know in any argument she would take her side over mine and that kind of hurts. I've noticed that Molly never invites me round her house and likes to have sleepovers without inviting me or anything. Every time I try to make conversation with her she gives me weird looks as if to say "why are you talking to me I don't like you". I'm not extremely popular in school but I'm not unpopular, I know someone's going to suggest 'find a new friendship group' but these guys are the only people who would accept me, the other girls I wouldn't fit in with.. so there's no choice really. I don't know how to make things better? Alsom the group in general are quite secretive and always hide things from me so I always have to find things out from other people. I trust Issie with my life but I'm not even sure if I can trust her at the moment. Any help please :( There's so much more to it but I just feel out of place at the moment.. sorry it's long..

You know I hate to say it, and I'm not coming from a place of hate or anywhere negative, but you're acting like a push-over. If you feel as though there is a problem between you and you're friends, you need to communicate with them. If they are truly your friends, they will listen to your concerns and talk with you about it. The #1 reason I see friendships and also relationships destroyed is because they don't act on their concerns and address them to the person they have concerns with. Also, if you want to be included, include yourself. Put yourself out there. I can tell you aren't the most assertive person ever, but trust me, anyone can if they try.

PM me if you want to ask me anything, I might be able to give you some tips if you give me a little more background.

I do applaud you for seeking help though :)
