best friend alawys with them...

[WonderChild]

My best friend is always with these jocks that dont like me for some reason. The only time we talk is on the bus or at home. How can I tell him that I am being annoyed by this? He is my only friend other than one in Indiana and I am in California, it gets lonely at school, all I am known for is being a jew... People call me Jewy, Jewbacca, and Pikajew. How can I make it stop?

(There are multiple questions in this)

I encountered the same general problem, but insted i let him be with his friends and i started to hang out with some other kids from my classes that i got to know well. As far as telling him though, be straight up about it but remember you can't be his only friend, both of you are going to find more and more people that you get along with besides each other.
If the name calling is bothering you than you can tell a teacher about it or just do your best to ignore it.

First thing, you should try to ignore any pathetic insults like the ones you listed above, just know that you are better than anyone who is using them.

As with your friend, just talk to them and tell them how you feel, but you will also have to respect that if he is friends with the jocks and wants to remain friends with them that is his choice.

Also you might want to try making some new friends, perhaps join a club or team at your school, you would meet people with similar interests, have some fun etc.

sorry to hear about your problem.


a couple suggestions, first, you don't want to come off as whining to your friend, about those other guys, you might risk annoying your friend, and he might decide to spend all his time with the jocks (altough if he does, the friendship might be ending. there are different kinds of friends, ones that might last a long time, and others shorter). if you can mention it bothers you without making a big deal, I would say something. otherwise, it might be best just to forget about it, and avoid being around those guys if they are really not your friends. sometimes if the jocks think it bothers you, they might do it more, some people can be really dicks.

the other thing you should really try to do, is expand your small circle of friends. some people are really social, and like a lot of friends, others (like me) just want a couple really good friends. if your best friend has some other friends (non jocks) that you could get along with, suggest to your best friend that you guys all do something together. find a guy or two and suggest you all go out together. a lot of times people make friends through other friends, so try this and see if you can expand your circle of friends. or if you know someone that you would want to be friends with, setup something where the 3 of you could do something together.

good luck.
