I dont want to hang with friends anymore, but dont want to hurt heir feelings?

first let me say choose your friends by how they treat you as a person not by their popularity standing and I do not understand why teens now a days can not just hang out and get along when I was a teen not all that long ago there were like ten of us that always hung out..of course their were some of us that were closer than others but we were all friends and that was okay..why do you all feel like you have to choose sides now a days or eat lunch with the same people every day because you really don;t have to..there is not law written that says you must sit at the same lunch table everyday...or that says you can only talk to these 3 or 4 people in the hall or cl...choose your friends based on being people you genuinely like...people who have a lot in common with you and people you know are good enough friends to let you be who you are and not pressure you into doing things you do not want to do or pressure you into being someone you are not. Unfortunately your Jr High Or high school friends which ever one you are in will most likely not be your close friends once you all graduate and go on to college or life beyond school maybe one or two of those girls you will stay in contact with in all honesty...you will go on to college and drift apart and start talking less and less...but the one or two of the girls you are having issues with now will always be your friend.. the ones you can not talk to for months and then call them and it is like you talked yesterday...these friends are the real friends.. good luck.
