when the worst gets insane

[Scarface]

Im new at this and i have no one else to talk to so i thought i would give this a try. Ive had the worst day of my life it all started 3 weeks ago when my friends wanted to skip school. i wasn't suppose to be hanging around them anyhow because we all had gotten into trouble in the past so it was a mistake from the begining.

we had been skippin for exactly 3 weeks yesterday and we were hanging out at my house as usual because my parents are at work we had called ourselves in sick over the phone luckily it worked. we had fun playing video games and when it was time for them to leave their older brother called them and said that we were busted, and to come clean so we knew we were fucked so we came clean and it all spiraled down from there so they told him they chilled at my house BIG MISTAKE. As i said earlier i wasn't allowed to hang out with them to begin with, but to skip school for as long as we did so i get a call from him saying he wants to beat my ass.

So the next thing i do is head straight to my best friends house for advice so he let me chill there for a while so when he walked me home we saw a car swerve in front of us and the older brother get out of the car and come towards me. he started yelling at me that it was all my fault that they skipped. I thought he was going to beat me up so i sat there and waited for him to throw a punch and luckily he didn't. so now i cant hang out with my friends anymore and feel really bad what should i do should i still try to hang out with them knowing the risks?. im really sorry for rambling thank you for listening

Firstly, Whilst no one else may see them as good friends, friendship is a chaotic force, seriously. From the outside it may seem that everyone is different, that your all just a bunch of misfits, people who shouldn't hang out, but, inside of this group of your friends, obviously there is something that holds you all together, something that is significant enough to make you all feel like you belong.

As for your brother, its just black mail... How much do you fear your parents and their reaction? That can impact the situation incredibly.
I, personally, would take a step back for now, catch up on school, re-evaluate. Talk to your friends, tell them how you feel. Obviously they'll try and persuade you to keep wagging, but, its entirely up to you.

I'm glad your brother didn't beat the crap out of you. That'd REALLY suck.
Skipping school for 3 weeks... Call me a nerd or what ever you like, but I don't actually see this as the wisest move.. Sorry, but, how much fun can sitting around at home playing games be? Thats what we have holidays for. No matter how much you hate school, try and hang in there. ^^

Truely though, it's entirely you decision, you can pick your friends but not your family (a horrible saying. O_O but true.) and who you decide to hang out with may impact you later on in life.
Just try and clear your head (don't resort to drugs. >_>) and reevaluate your priorities. =)

It's a difficult one. I don't believe in pushing people away unless you absolutely have to.
But on the other hand, this doesn't seem like a friendship that's going to benefit you in terms of security, etc. Do these friends know you aren't supposed to seem them and did they still say they were at yours? Because that wasn't supportive.
I don't think you should cut them out, stay friends with them, just don't hang out with them as much. That way you still keep them as pals and you don't have to deal with any abuse for it. Just be diplomatic. :)

look, i'm certainly not the person who has any right to tell you not to skip. i have been doing so for several years. but i can tell you that you shouldn't do it without good reason. if you are doing this to hang out with friend who are just gonna get you in trouble, that's not a good reason. look, just don't skip anymore and you'll be fine. just remember that in 5 years you will look back on this and laugh, unless you don't stop. then there are no guarentees.
