So here is my problem:
I come from a grade of 23 people. It's very hard to make friends with a small number like that. I managed to have a friend who's friendship I treasure from the bottom of my heart. He's been with me for three years now and now I'm confused. I have always been at the top of the class in academics. All of a sudden, he surpasses me, which he would have never done a few years back. Now, I am wondering if I should really continue to hang out with him. I sit next to him in every class and that's when he acknowledges me. In other activities outside school, he doesn't acknowledge me and I'm usually stuck by myself. He always has his friends to back him up. Whenever I do anything to him, I get it back to me tenfold. He has other friends which he hangs out with much more often then he does me. He frequently calls me about homework and school related stuff. I have never had a sleepover or went out with my friends that was not related to school what so ever. He, on the other hand, invites all of his friends and has a good time with them all the time. This morning was the breaking point. He told my teacher that I was plagiarizing by copy and pasting my report. I was not suspended since I did the report the night before while he told the teacher the day before that. So with that, I'm starting to wonder what is more important. It's hard to make friends and I want to still be friends with him since without him, I'm a loner, but if it's hurting my physiologically and academically, why should I care? He's nice to me at times, but it's those bitter times that question whether or not keeping the only friend I have is worth all the stress I carry.
I know it's stupid and hard to understand, but when you walk in my shoes, you would realize what I go through.
Any help will be appreciated.
