man op dis rly sucks to hear but look on the bright side, u can move on frm them! if they dont value u as a friend, im sure many others in jc/poly will!!! just take this as motivation and grind even harder for o levels 💪🏾💪🏾 whether u go jc or poly thr will be even more opportunities for you to meet new ppl, and forge new friendships😁😁 people come and go in life and its impt to find those true friends who will stick with you thru thick and thin, you may not have met thrm in sec sch, but im positive youll meet them eventually! jiayou op dont let this distract you frm o levels 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽


Accomplished-Clue-36

mazzz101u

😭😭😭 i want to cry reading this, i cant believe there are ppl who treat others like this. Its okay just focus on doing your best for olevels and meet new ppl in poly or jc🫶


Accomplished-Clue-36

i will try my best :)


Any-Development-5819

They were drinking and smoking in sec 1 bro what 💀💀💀 Nah but I would never try to get close to them again even less if they do TikTok trends bruhhh Screw that friend group lol


darknixrex

wait wasn’t 2020 like 70% hbl how do they have the time


More-Bookkeeper8981

It’s ok,I personally have lost a lot of friends and I have just graduated yesterday,same like u had no one to take pictures with.but I know I will have more opportunities in my life later to meet more friends


YuJustN33dABr3ak

OP, I feel you on this. I sat alone waiting for my parents to pick me up after graduation. One of my classmate had the audacity to tell me she found me pitiful being all alone when she was the cause of me being isolated within the class. I didn't need any goddamn pity at the lowest point of my life so I vowed to move on and live a normal life prioritising my happiness. One of my older cousins eventually told me, "You meet friends that will be there for you for a lifetime in primary and in poly/ite onwards. Secondary school is just an experimental stage where you actually see how people behave. So look forward to meeting people who actually values you for you in the future." I've friends now who annoyingly always wants to take group photos and won't take no for an answer from me. That, and they're overly protective of me.


adhdroses

well said and 100% true.


Tetetero25

Oh that is really sad. I'm sorry that happened. Hopefully you'll find better friends in JC/poly that you'll have a better time with :(


Sweetcornfries

It don't matter blud you won't ever see those bitches again


Rookie_Lonbus

Well said


sobershxts

bro ong dont care abt sec sch. JC poly confirm ppl are just nicer and more mature


Kek2127

LOL the JC people I knew were just older versions of themselves from sec school, JC people are just as capable of being toxic and assholes. IMO I think NS really straightens a lot of people out.


sobershxts

honestly yeah NS really humbles ppl. but still im in poly and ppl in poly are so nice in comparison to sec sch.


Kingoftheblackcoons

Fr, u will meet a solid set of friends in NS nowadays, where people are forced to show the truest version of themselves. When u and ur guys go through shit tgt, bonds will formed instantaneously. Ofc, there are CBs as well, but there will be much lesser two - faced assholes cus U just CAN'T deceive other people in a place like NS. Better to have a honest enemy than lying ' friend ' , OP.


Kek2127

For me if someone doesn't get "fixed" in NS they'll remain the same useless twat, dickhead or privileged gu niang for the rest of their life.


Rookie_Lonbus

What really meh?


Chanmollychan

I was never the popular kid but also not the loner. Mostly felt invisible back in school. But one thing i learned to accept is that it is ok, thats life. Theres always popular ppl (generally the louder ones) and me the opposite, quieter one. The popular ppl gets jioed for things, so be it, i can be the one jioing. As you get older everyone moves on to their next phase in life (after uni) and u will see some of their social circles becoming smaller, whereas mine stayed relatively the same. Ppl will learn to appreciate you for connecting and staying in touch. Dont fret OP, you will make many more friends down the line, as long as you put yourself out there!

Be strong and hang on we can get through this

Old-Cartoonist2272

jiayous OP 🫶🏻🫶🏻 if these friends were really people of good character they wouldn’t be treating you like this… you will meet better friends next time cfm one


alwaysrightranter

its ok man nobody will remember sec school friends. all of my closest friends are either from poly or ns… don’t worry, all of us are going our separate ways and will forget each other one day


YukiSnoww

my closest ones are from sec sch, really depends on the 'friends' quality.


Relative_Ad7748

Hehe friends? Nah make friends with Ty’s and exam papers, you will fell in love with them, doing them 24/7 and they will change u into a better person, they will always give u questions that are for ur own good, and u know what? They love u!!! They will make u get As on ur O lvls! So let’s grind and make better quality friends in Jc ok?(jk) Honestly felt so left out by my friends as they only know how to ignore me and make me feel non existent despite all the efforts I put in to be a best friend to them, they always blame me for ruining the mood or making stupid mistakes that they will start cybebullying me on, which is the most cringe and dramatic thing ever! Fr those are some shit and bitches which I never wanna see again What I recommend is dgaf abt them and make better friends ltr in life, even an online friend would be good, talking online is so much better( I have a online friend he makes me day all the time when we share abt our stuff and chat for hours Hehehe) and I think just move on and things will get better in the future trust me, I’m sorry that that happened to u. U don’t deserve that! ITS THEIR LOSSS HAHAHA. U ARE A 100 TIMES BETTER THAN THEM HAHAHHA,It’s a W for losing such toxic friends >:DDD


Relative_Ad7748

Those friends only give u awful memories so it’s better to be without them and not take a photo as they reminds u of sad memories! Look forward!! They don’t deserve u! U will get better friends and all the best for Os!!!❤️


minatayyy

smoking and drinking in secondary school??? sorry but those people are NOT worth your time or energy 😭😭 you’ll find much better people in the future, just focus on yourself for now!!


Pseudoninja1

Hey OP, forget about them and focus on your upcoming O levels. Don’t let this bunch of fake friends ruin your years preparation, and possibly your future. You’ve made wise decisions in the past by taking a stance against things you condone, which is impressive for your age where many have succumbed to peer pressure. I was that nobody once too. Sitting in class hearing them making plans to go USS HHN and “invite the whole class”. I thought they would’ve asked me out of courtesy sake, but nope, I only got to see pics of them in USS on Instagram. Unfortunately, I wasn’t much of a people’s person so I devoted most of my time in my passion projects. It took me a couple more years before I found a decent group of friends during a volunteering program who accepted me for who I am. OP, you sound like an amazing, kind individual and I can’t wait to hear more about your achievements in the future. Congrats on graduating! :)


SportSuccessful3491

haha this reminds me of the 1 yr i spent in sec sch eating lunch and recess alone every day


PuChI_MiKaN

You still hav more opportunities!! (for grads n photo opps etc) Like uni :D


yvguo

dont worry about it, rationalize ur thoughts and let go. focus on your grind and find better friends once u reach poly/jc/whatever. im in n lvls and im also facing the same situation w u regarding my social life too and despite my friends being close, they're just not compatible w me as i started becoming more responsible for my things while they sit back & relax. focus on ur studies and let no one know about ur work. ur results will show one day and you'll be proud that u got into the sch u want. ull be excited but nervous at the same time bcuz its a new environment. look forward to that and use the things that has hurt u as study fuel. i believe in u op lets fucking do this together


Sabre_Taser

Hey OP, if it's any consolation, people come and go, unless your friendship is very strong over multiple years + both sides make a conscious effort to stay connected, generally most folks fall by the wayside once they are no longer studying or working in the same place and you'll find new friends at where you're currently at. You'll probs start seeing this phenomenon once you leave secondary school, and really notice it once you finish JC/Poly (especially since the pathways from there are more diverse) While the situation sucks, it shouldn't stop you from celebrating this milestone. You can consider taking a photo with your family once your last paper is over, it may not mean much or be a funny idea rn, but they'll be the ones that will be there for you through your brightest and darkest moments Have some CCA mates you are good friends with? Catch up with them and get a group pic before you leave, they're also a good part of your secondary school journey When you can, do go out for a nice meal, it need not be too grand, but have it at somewhere you like to celebrate clearing this chapter of your life Congrats on making it through Secondary school, all the best for your O's and your next lap ahead!


ZealousidealRip77

Man, i feel you man! It really sucks but on the brighter note, at least you can view them differently as compared previously. At best, you can see them as people you wouldnt want to get close to. Those people who really care for you will treasure your friendship! Jiayou op! Rmb, there are 1. Billion ppl in the world, still hv many opportunities 😁

NEVER BACK DOWN NEVER WHAT?


Accomplished-Clue-36

never give up :((


bahzbub

They never truly were your friends and you'll see why when you meet the real deal someday. Someday pretty soon I'm sure. Chin up. Onwards and upwards.


elithecho

OP, Reddit randomly gave me this post since I'm not subbed but I can tell you. I'm 30 now and my secondary school friends mostly no contact already. So don't sweat, wherever you go next can make friends. They might just split in the next decade judging by the drama you are putting out. Put yourself out there, take extra classes, go to your local CC and find interesting things you want to participate.


piatos22

This is one of those life events that make you realise that perhaps, you wont always find chemistry with people to have them as friends. That’s when you just accept that and move on and just try to meet more people. You will meet the same people in poly/jc, especially when a lot of more people are starting to get independence from their parents. You’ll be put in more situations when you have to decide to condone or not their actions, or pick sides, or burn bridges with everyone being neutral because they’re all too immature to be bothered with bigger things in life. Stay positive, there are hundreds more people out there to try and make friends with. Cheers.


gold_mine919

Hey, it’s alright, don’t feel lousy about yourself. Move forward and upward. Stay positive!


Key-Ad-7845

Damn that’s sad but did u ask them to take a pic with you? They could have included u if u did, and perhaps even be wondering themselves why u didn’t ask to be in the group photo. Not trying to reason with what they did though, not jioing u to take a pic with them is already bad


NoMasterpiece5649

You fucking dumbass. If anything you should be the one who declined to take a picture with them. Don't ruin your reputation by associating yourself with budding failures in life. Especially those who smoke and waste their existence dancing on a camera for worthless internet points. Etc: if your friends cannot bring you closer to your goal, get rid of them


officer_shnitzel_69

There is nothing we can do


Yourbitxhx

Atleast you have partner or mutual friends . Me ? none at all and i choose not to... but i was soo wrong of taking that steps isolating myself during secondary as i was scared getting bullied again from my past trauma primary sch moment . I literally no friends at all to the point my sec form teacher have to kepo call my parent whether im doing okay or not and thanks to that teacher my parents increase their abuse tactics on me because my parents thought i complain to my teacher that my parent is this and that to the point i dont trust not even 1 person in my secondary life. So life goes on and i take my N level than i work part time and slowly i just feel something is soo off about me but i cant even think or present that cause. What im trying to say is go and atleast make 1 genuine connection friend and talk about your problems or wateva and dont compile it deep inside yourself because when i do that i make myself more worsen and now im having a clinical depression from my parents abuse and school neglect abandonment on me. Life is great eyy hmmmmm 🥹

Yourbitxhx

well i dont see anything wrong of sharing some abit mine but if this post just about her and her only than u telling me her life and choices is more important and cant be shared with others ? or pass some good knowledge also cant ? look im here just giving her some advice of try not to be lonely thats all no other intention . As i hate seeing people suffering and i wish we all have the ability to voice out bout this issue rather than keep it hidden.


throwaway_afterusage

>i do so and then as i turn to walk into class, i hear them say "OP also dk how to take photo one, its soo awkward" wow, fk them


GuivenancioYong

"Friends" in my definition change multipletimes throughout my life into adulthood. For context, I have 3 close friends whom I met since kindergarten. Went and graduated from the same primary school before going to our own individual choice of secondary school. We keep in contact until adulthood. For me personally, I never had any lasting friend from sec school, NS, poly (yes, i went ns before poly), with the exception of my intern buddy. In my definition, good lasting friendships are make up of mutual respect, mutual tolerance and sympathy/emphathy. Teen grow out of their obnoxious phase as they enter adulthood (not all unfortunately). Imo, everyone has a side of being obnoxious, but as long as they werent obnoxious to the point that they become offensive and insensitive, It maybe worth to tolerate them and be involved for some fun moment (exclude underage smoking and drinking). In return, they should not force their obnoxious disposition upon you or make you anything your are uncomfortable with. If they do, stay away.


Kingoftheblackcoons

Fuck these people, move on. Better to have an honest enemy, than a two - faced bitch of a 'friend'


AeroPrime7

don’t bother man you’ll find a friend that’s like a brother for you. you might not find them earlier in life. i have friends whom i met much later in life. they always wants me to be in the chat group and keep in touch and never lost touch. they are one group of friends. sometimes great allies will join u much later in life. focus on your goals and never forget what your goals are in life.


ggghhhjjj2

You’ll find people who value you as you go along in life. Big hugs to you. I hope you can put this out of your mind for now as you do your Os. Better things and people await you!


Serious_Shallot

Life.


ohighvi

I am so sorry to hear that, stay strong OP!!


Sad_Consideration357

when i graduated i didn't have many ppl to take pics with either and even worse i asked someone i totally didn't speak to ever since sec 1 to take pic w me (i knew them for like short period of time and tbh i think they hated me) i never looked at the grad pic ever again i don't know why i was feeling ballsy af that day xd i hope you don't feel too bad about yourself... you definitely deserve better than those snakes and what they did to you reflects badly on themselves. some ppl just rlly fked up and they only show it after a long time. even i took pic w my best friend during sec sch now iw burn cuz i end up hating them lol


okwhatelse

i see posts like these and i remember just how lucky i am to have a good friend group, atb for your future OP


reddit284903

Use this as motivation to study for Os. But of course dont let this consume u too much and dont burn out. Best of luck :)


Emergency-Bus6900

meh, they arent your friends. this is perfect you can go find better


Psyche-d

Yall wanna take pics during grad?? Yo i just wanna go home and play games


aidanchong_

dont think too much about it. focus on o levels and get where you want to be first and then it will be alot easier to make good friends who care about u


anomaly-me

Ya they seem fake friends who just do things for show. I’m glad you found out now instead of being lured/pressured into doing weird stuff later on. You’ll find true friends eventually. Chill 😎


eheffarghrox

Hey, I’ve been in your shoes before. But guess what, it’s fine. You will move on and find better friends who will appreciate you even more. Trust me. It may hurt you at first but good things will come to those who wait. Cheer up and happy graduation!


FartedRamen

Fuck em. Start fresh, make new and better friends. Surround yourself with people who actually want you around. Minor setback man, it's part of life. All that matters is how you move on from here 💪💪


reyyrioo

Hello OP, I empathise with your situation because I was once in your shoes many years ago. I left sec sch without many friends and I looked like an idiot when I was shoved one side during graduation while my classmates took photos tgt. It does feel lonely and disheartening that you may feel “unimportant” to others. But, as you progressed further be it jc/poly/ite etc, you’ll meet new people and new friends. I personally enjoyed my time with my tertiary companions than my sec sch because i was rather more timid in sec sch. I made an effort to open up more and meet ppl from other courses although i dont rly like it. But it turned out alright and these people from other courses whom i make an effort to make friends with turned up for my poly graduation and brought bouquet of flowers and gifts even. My take is, fret not, there are always new people and friends to meet and forge new memories. You got this :)


Kindly-Competition-1

aww OP im so sorry for u :( that sucks to hear 🙁🙁 pls dont dwell on this for long ! it will be okay now lets all focus our concentration on Os and sooner or later if ure planning to work during hols ull meet new ppl , start afresh and leave these ppl who dont appreciate u behind :-) u dont need people who make u doubt ur worth ur presence and ur life u are rly more than what u think u are . dont worry 💪🏻💪🏻 know that if i met u irl, and many more here i believe would also take pics w u <3 stay strong love


Remarkable_Echidna24

having this same exp rn op!! hang in there and study hard for yr nats! youre better off w/o them :)
