JDS has nothing more to offer me
I came to the realization of how much my group of friends has diminished some months ago, it just never felt so bad until today. There are days when it seems that there is not one girl i know who i can talk to about anything. There are days when i feel like im invisible to people who i thought liked me, where i'll say hi to them in the halls and

I often have the same problems you do, but I honestly somehow find a way to put a positive spin on it. In my opinion, people are not inheriently cruel, it is just the surroundings that make them seem that way. I think that our grade has attempted to grow closer as a whole, which I think is a great thing. The problem is that, in an attempt to become better friends with other people, some people our grade has alienated some of the closest friends we have.
In addition, there is also the competition factor. People worry about grades more than anything else, and it really gets to be really annoying. I know this is really probably not what you wanted to hear, but the way I deal is by simply shutting out those who worry too much about grades. I personally find this easier than most, but I make sure I do not compare myself to other people. This way, I simply work against myself, which is much more effective, because it ensures that you will be happy with a certain performance even if someone else isn't. I also try to have some sort of senioritis, whether it be flaunting my procrastonation skills or dwelling on other stuff, which keeps me hopeful and able to enjoy life.
The other thing that you can do, and what I do, is be more friendly with people outside of school. Personally, I cannot deal with people in a JDS setting for my entire group of friends. I find other friends through a youth group, you can do it however you want. It's important because it gives you a change of perspective, and there is much less school-related information you can talk about.
I hope this helps a little, I don't really know if it will, but this is some disorganized way of how I deal with problems like yours. I think you need to find a set group of friends, especially outside of school, that you can depend on and that they can depend on you. It might be a little late now, but try to get friends in a non-JDS setting. You might see them less, but in the grand scheme of things, that could be better. People naturally get tired of one another if they are seen too often.
