Hello, I wanted to start off saying I appreciate the help in previous discussions within making decisions where I have been able to communicate the facts and feelings of various situations and the action I have to take.

Back when I was in middle school, I met 5 other boys my age and we became good friends. We all grew a close bond from playing video games and the classes we all had together, along with the sports we all played and hanging out frequently. There of course was conflict that would come up but like any relationship, it was resolved. Within 2022, one of my friends moved away back to his state in New England which began shifting our friendships. It was very balanced where me and the friend that moved seemed to be more on the logical side of things, one of my friends would be the equivocator typically siding with us and the 3 others typically are disorganized and more wild. Since he has moved we've all gotten a little bit more wild where there have been instances where they have skipped class (I didn't have classes during that time due to some college classes I take) and they progressively have gotten in worse trouble which can greatly affect their futures (Alcohol, Vaping, and worse).

I am tired of associating with them as they have no aspirations and tear mine down. They put their futures at risk for gratification and pleasure. I have some classes with them so I can't fully dissociate with them until graduation. I look forward to making new friendships and contacts with people at Real-estate school which I plan to go to in early summer and with new friends at the University I have just been accepted into. I look forward to also making a mastermind group with people that I could look to, not as friends but people to work and advise with on business endeavors in the future.

I enjoy going out with some of my other friends and going out with girls I meet so its not that I am anti-social as I do love to engage with people outside of my house, and go out frequently but I'd rather not go out with these old friends because they act very indecently when we are out.

I want out of the group and want to move on to my future endeavors. Is it okay to leave these old friends if it means I will get to progress and meet people who will aid in my progress and goals?
