I don't know.. I feel in a way it's almost unfair. I can modify where we hang out so I cannot get in trouble. But to just leave a person who is your friend, who IS nice to you and treats you like a human being and listens when you have something to say.. I don't know. I've already been pushed into that "bad group" by my own mental illness. Thanks to depression and social anxiety I skipped school.. Lots of school, years of school. I've already been called a loser and bullied and associated with the "bad kids". I know how it feels to have one thing held against you when your personality isn't so horrible.

My therapist is pushing me to hang out with the friends I have because I play a parenting role in my brother's life. She says I need time to be a regular teenager. I fall apart if I can't get away from it. I've had no friends before and all that happened was a lot of isolation at home stuck on the computer. I wouldn't go out, I was always upset and hurting and lonely.. I had no motivation to do ANYTHING. So.. focusing on school which I won't go to.. or taking piano lessons doesn't do much for me.
