During lunch at my school I sit with stoners and I want to stop hanging around them
I want to stop hanging around them because I want to get good grades and be somebody and I don't want to be like them they're failing most of there classes and they don't really take care of themselfs. They're really cool people and I still want to be there friend but I don't want to hang out with them. How do I change social circles without making them feel bad and still be my friends? please help I've tryed this before and my last group of freinds that I stopped hanging around hated me because they felt like I ditched them.

i ahve many social circles..... its just about meeitn peoples friends, friends, friends, friends, friends....you get it ..... you cna stillb e friends with them but if theyre dragging you down its your responsibility to aknowledge it and do sometihng......a lot of people say your friends are a reflection of who you are ... i say you are a reflection of who your friends are..... its up to you to make all sorts of new friends.....its not easy and it takes time...

if you're in high school.. it will be hard.. since high school is very "clickish".. meaning they all hang out with the same type group.. now.. to change that.. will take time.. you need to start being more outgoing during class and making friends between classes.. slowly and gradually you will be meeting and seeing new people.. and sooner or later you will have a larger group of friends that you could hang out in different days..

you just have to phase them out. you can't just ditch them. say 1 lunchtime a week hang with some other people and get friendly with them. then go back to your friends. then increase the days you are with the other people until you and your friends just naturally drift apart.
