Left out of the group

I hang out in a group of 6 girls, but the group is split.

There are 2 girls who are really close with each other and the other 3 spend a lot of time with each other, leaving me on my own.

This is not the first time I have felt left out. Last time I talked to them and told them what I was feeling, but it didn't really make a difference.

What shall I do?

Your thoughts:

It's understandable that you feel isolated from your group Chloe. Talk to them again and try arranging days out with all of them, for example to the cinemas or shopping.

Also, you could try meeting new people and introducing them to your friends, so then this way you won't feel left out because you'll have somebody to hang out with.

Chat to new people or join clubs that you're interested in so then you can meet people with the same interests as you.

It's important not to let your group feel left out though, so make sure you still see them often.

Next week's question:

I told my close friend something that I didn't want anyone to know and I made her swear not to tell anyone.

I heard back that she told 5 of my other friends.

What should I do?
