To preface this I’m a 14 yo freshman is Highschool.
Hey, so I’m kinda having a dilemma right now. Basically in my friend group there are some really annoying people in there (if you look at my post history you’ll find an example of them called “I really want to punch this guy”. Anyway some of them are really annoying but some of them I’m good friends with and don’t want to stop being friends with them. I also don’t want to leave their friend group because we do the same sport and if I leave the friend group then it’s gonna be real awkward when that sport starts back up again. Idk I’m just looking for any helpful advice. Thanks.

I looked at your other post, and it sounds like the guy you want to punch is toxic af, rather than annoying. Have you communicated to your good friends in the group how you feel when he (and the others) treats you like this? If they know and understand, they may have your back. If they don’t have your back, maybe they’re not as good of friends as you thought they were.
It might be worth finding more friends so you don’t have to spend all your time around people who make you feel bad about yourself. I was in a similar situation once, and this is basically how I dealt with it. I ended up cutting off my friends, but I did it in a way that I still have friendships with the people in the group I want to be friends with. Your situation is a bit different, since you play sports together, so I would approach this delicately.
Good luck!
42M. More than likely, you won’t stay in contact with any of them within a few years of graduating high school. Also, having been a 14 year old boy, the simple majority of them are fucktards but they’ll grow out of it. Adjust your expectations accordingly. Have you tried being honest with them about how you feel? Communication is the most important thing in any kind of relationship.
