So im a freshman in highschool and im not trying to sound full of myself or anything but im in a group thats more on the popular side and all my friends have been acting like bitches lately. They have been acting like this ever since all the upperclassman guys have been talking to us and calling us the "hot freshman". Ever since then all my friends thought they were so cool and are trying to kick people out of our group because they are annoying? like seriously... why? And whoever isnt with them at the moment they talk shit about behind their backs! i seriously dont get it. we have all been bestfriends since like elementry school and middle school and now they have all changed!
Its the unfortunate aspect to social cliques in high school, especially your freshman year as the groups become more apparent and defined and new friendships form, while others break. It sucks.
The only advice I can think of - is try to stay above the fray. Be friends with whomever is interested in being friends. Genuine friends are far better than friendships based merely off of association.

Oh. Yeah. That sucks. I'm sorry you have to deal with that.
But, I mean, you don't have much of a choice here. You can either conform to their behavior and stay their friends. Or you can choose not to and find another group of friends to hang out with, however hard that may be.
All the advice I can give you is to stay yourself and be yourself at all times. If you do that, you will likely stray down the right path and things will turn out for the better. Good luck.
I agree with them. High School is a little hard in especially in the freshmen year. I'm a Jr. and i lost a lot of friends, some of them I would just ignore because they weren't "cool" enough but they were my real friends. I became a pothead which is cool in my school. Know I feel better. I quit smoking, got some of my old friend back. But i can't help to be bitchy to some people. Its what keeps me up top in the food chain.
If a higher, older group thinks you are cool, your ego expands 10 times it's normal size.
And to not ruin your newly found feeling of standing in the spotlight, everyone who stands in your way must go.
You'll see, once the upperclassman leave their interest in your clique, their minds will return to them.

Yeah like everyone else says High School SUX! No one really has a "perfect" experience at HS :/ So there is really nothing that you can do about it. I know that this is shitty advice but there is nothing that can make it any easier on you sorry :/ :(
There's some shit you have to be furious about inside, and bottle it in. My mom is a great person to vent to about all the bs and high school stuff, she totally gets it, and we laugh about it too.
Find someone who won't go and squeal to your friends like a parent or grown up friend (college, adult, etc) that you can vent to.
Well, thats just another part of growing up and maturing. Your best friends won't stay with you forever, y'know? As they say, you win some, you lose some. And don't be surprised that your friends have oh, so tramadically changed. If you have friends who are willing to act so rudely and change in such a negative way, then those probably aren't the friends , or crowd , that you should be dealing with. If these friends really do matter to you though, then you should address them about it and tell them what you are feeling and how upset you are about it. Tell them they aren't the same friends that you knew before and that they've changed, in a negative way. That is one of your best options, Wish you luck!!
