Scout friendship problem
Hiii everyone , this is my first thread and i wanted to share a little bir of my experience in friendships … so I am a scout and these past few months have been horrible really because o use to be part of a friend group and we would go out and all and my parents especially my mom say that they would leave me out and that o would put more into the friendship that what they gave me . When I started noticing I sent a message to the group chat and said I was going to leave for a while … they didn’t not respond after a week and did not care after a few weeks passed I actually started to see that they really did not care and when i saw them they would ignore me and not care about my existence … one of the girls in the group actually made lots of them not go to my birthday and out of ten people only 4 came … so these past months have been super hard dealing with loneliness and depression o gotten better tho but now it’s all going down hill again because they now say that i am the problem and they don’t know what they done to me when in reality they hate me for leaving a group , that I did not feel comfortable in beacause of how toxic it was and how they were using me in a way … and what’s sad is that they told my own family and told then about how I am the problem and after all of that still look at me horribly and disrespect me and this weekend o an going on a camp and what’s even sadder is that my mom still defends and believes them so yea hope you guys ate having a great day and for who ever read this thank you … for reading and hearing my story 💕

That sounds really painful, and you didn’t deserve to be treated that way especially after you tried to step back from a group that wasn’t healthy for you. It takes a lot of courage to recognize when something is toxic and walk away, even when people twist it against you.
It’s okay to feel hurt and lonely after all that, I don't think you are “the problem.” Sometimes people lash out because they feel guilty or exposed when someone refuses to play their games anymore. Try to focus on the people who do care even if that’s just a few friends or your online community for now.
And for camp this weekend: hold your head high. You know your side of the story, and you don’t owe anyone your energy if they can’t treat you with respect. You’ve already shown more maturity than they have. 💗
