Help! Friend dilemma!
So I'm having a few issues over several friends at school.but really it just boils down to one person (who I swear is allergicto goths)
Sooo here's my little dilemma:
At school I've generally stuck with one group of friends since forever. Let's call them group 1 for now. Over the last school year, however, I've gotten to know more people and made friends (group 2) outside of my little group 1 (one or two of them don't seem to like socialising with other people). I've now ended up with two different friendship groups, but spend more time with the original group.
So what's the problem, you're probably thinking. You have more than one group of friends, you're happy, get on with life. But here's where it gets complicated: group 1 (ok, one person mainly) don't like group 2. Group 1 get annoyed if I even spend a few minutes talking with them during a break or whatever. But group 2 all have lots of friends in different areas and don't really tie themselves down as much. I've just been going on with life as normal (I mean, no one has the right to tell me who I can and can't talk to), but now some of my friends from group 1 have started to make comments, and make it clear how they don't like me hanging out with anyone from group 2 (who they call the "gothic people"). This is starting to get annoying, as I've tried to explain that they're my friends too, but I don't spend all of my time with them, I still spend most of my time with group 1. Also, another of my friends from group 1 goes and talks to even more people than I do and the same person who doesn't like me talking to group 2 says nothing at all about this. Some people from group 2 have tried being friendly with my frends from group 1, but only one other friend from group 1 actually shows any friendliness to them.
Group 2 have started inviting me to do more things with them recently, which group 1 get annoyed if they hear about. However, even before this, some people from group 1 would go hang out places etc. without inviting me and another of my friends. I've tried to make an effort to be nicer to group 1, as they are actually good friends and have helped me with things in the past and I don't want to lose them as friends.
I don't really know what to do..help! X0

Thank you for your oh so helpful comment. Unfortunately machine guns aren't allowed in school XL
