Alright I'll cut to the chase. My group of friends consists of blacks and spanish kids, and two serbians. I'm white. Sort of irrelevant..
We're all in high school (going into sophomore year) so I guess maturity could be a factor. When everybody is together everybody will make jokes towards eachother, even to me and me to them. When they do it to each other I don't really notice but when it is done to me I feel pressure/embarrassment because more than not we're with other people.
It isn't bullying, it isn't getting picked on, these are the people I've known since 1st grade..only I feel that way to my knowledge..and this is what sucks: I couldn't go up to one of them and say "yo could you stop saying that crap please?" when we're along. I could say "yo shut the hell up thats pissing me off" and they'll be like "oh alright alright." Like, when we're alone they are all cool, but in front of others it's a huge dominance fest: I hate it.
And some of them go through these mood swings. When you text them to chill and I say "yo" they usually reply with "yo." But sometimes they reply with "yeah" or "what" like I'm bothering them and it pisses me the fudge off. Then that person will not talk to you as much for a little while and out of no where you're best friends..and it isn't even for any reason at all which is why I think people talk behind my back.
I really have no clue and I'm just venting..should I just abandon them? I play baseball with 2 of them (they are brothers). I can probably branch out and start hanging out with my acquaintances, but it I really can't imagine being in there 'group' how we are now. They just aren't people you can rely on for crap.
Advice?
