Dear Miss Know-It-All,
My friends are starting to leave me out. I was absent from school for a few weeks and when I went back for a week I felt extremely left out. A new girl joined and they are all mostly talking to her I think that this happened because of her. She played with me at first but when I was sick she started playing with my group of friends. They don't seem to want to be my friends anymore.
Please help, Melancholy Friend
Dear Melancholy Friend,
Have you tried talking to your friends about how you're feeling? It will probably be uncomfortable, but it's always better to communicate honestly and openly. Let them know that you don't feel like they are listening to you and you're feeling left out. They may not realize how their actions are affecting you. If talking to your friends doesn't seem to solve the issue, don't worry. There are plenty of other people out there who would love to be your friend! Join a club or activity that interests you, volunteer in your community, or just start a conversation with someone new. Remember, you're not alone. Keep your chin up and keep trying!
Stay Happy and get better soon,
Miss Know-It-All
