Dear Rocky, 

I hope you are doing well. My friends have been acting differently towards me recently. I don’t know what to do to try and figure out what is wrong. I feel like we aren’t as close as we used to be. What should I do?

Sincerely, 

Confused and Hopeful 

Dear Confused and Hopeful, 

I hope you’re doing well yourself! Feeling like you’re on the outside of things when it comes to your friends is seriously tough. 

I would talk to them! Staying stagnant in this situation is not something I would recommend. 

When you have that conversation with them I hope they clear things up, but if they give you weird vibes or they seem like they are not telling the truth I would consider a new route. 

What I mean by a “new route” is trying to rekindle that spark with your friends with new activities. This may sound a little ugh but you can try something that would bond you guys back together. Like camping (maybe not in this weather brrr), an escape room, or even a fun little get together can possibly make a difference. 

But if your friends are still acting differently to you they absolutely don’t deserve you. You are an amazing person with spectacular abilities and one in a billion! Remember that. 

Also remember that this is high school, things are going to change and that is completely ok even if it’s a little scary and daunting. It’s all gonna work out in the end. 

With Love, 

Rocky
