The lost puppy
You never want to be the follower in a group, try to be either the leader or the equal among the others where you all respect each other. We know that it is a bit naive to think that way because high school can be a rough place, but you have to at least try.
If you find yourself in a position where no one really cares about you or where you go, then stop following those people around and go somewhere else. Preferably, somewhere where people respect you enough to think about you and listen to what you have to say. That’s what a real friendship is after all.
