I recently switched schools and am currently trying to figure out how to leave my old, toxic friend group from my old school. I feel bad when I ignore them online and if I wanted to stop seeing them I wouldn't really be able to because out parents are friends. It's not like I hate them or they are awful people but I just don't want to be in an environment where I get made fun of all the time for my interests and appearance. I've known most of them for basically my whole life and got used to being a scapegoat and the butt of too many jokes but when I switched schools I made friends who truly get me and don't treat me like a weirdo or an outcast. I just feel like a shitty person for leaving them after so long, it's like I have stockholm syndrome or whatever it is. :,)
Anyway that's it, Rosey!!

first off, I'm happy you found some proper friends.
to answer your question: ignore. Don't go somewhere you know they will go. Even when you just happen to come across them, show absolutely no interest. They most likely will mess with you to get even the smallest amount of reaction, and when they can't, they'll leave you alone.
And dw, it happens to all of us. Don't blame yourself for anything
thx sm! i've started ignoring most of them already and have been trying to block them on my socials, not quite sure if i've got the confidence to do that quite yet though.
