Dear Jellybean,

I've had this group of friends for about 3 yrs now and we were like sisters. We told each other stuff and there was no hard feelings between any of us. Then we started to drift into smaller groups... 1 friend with this one, that 1 with her... and so on-but we all were still in one big group. I felt lately that one of my friends was trying to compete with me and she'd get upset if I didn't tell her my grades, I asked her why was she acting this way and she told me she was just curious. I let it go but after that she'd continue and my other friends would jump on my back about it too, I felt they were ganging up on me. That's not the only problem, they talk about me behind my back and I feel betrayed. I caught them one time after-school, they hadn't known that I was looking for them and when I sopped outside of the bathroom heard mumbling and went in. When I did they all stopped and went quiet. One of my friends who hasn't got involved in gossiping told me that they discuss what I do as if it were an assignment. They lie to my face and I'm tired of giving them 2ND chances. When I stand up for myself they tell me that I'm getting an attitude for no reason... Help? I need to know whether they were ever my friends at all?
