Pat's Answer

Hi you are very welcome to Ask Pat,

You feel that you should cut off your friends because they have left you out of things they do. 

We are sorry that you feel that way, as you have the right to have respect shown to you. It sounds to us that you are saying that all of your friends are leaving you out of things and this would be very difficult for you deal with on your own.  Would there be a close friend that you could express your feelings to about the way you feel, or indeed is there a trusted adult that you know that you could chat this through with further? It would be important  that you get some support through this, as your friends may not realize how they are making you feel.
