If you want, you can read my past posts about this. Basically my friend group has been deemed toxic by many people. I've searched the internet for ways to distance myself, but all the advice is for cutting out one specific person. It has become clear that several friendships (at least 3 or 4) have to be ended or otherwise phased out for me to maintain my happiness and stability.

How should I go about this gracefully? Do I let them know my reasoning? Should I try to set things up so I make new friends (and if so, how can I avoid clashes between my old and new friend groups)? How do I behave around them in class (most of these people are in my classes)? One of them drives me to and from school. How do I reduce awkwardness around her? How do I handle it if their parents confront me? I want this to be non-dramatic. I'm so fed up with this, and I just can't deal with it anymore. 

Also, I could use some general reassurance that life will get better for me, especially after high school. LUCKILY I am graduating this year (I'm young for a senior) and I'll be away from these people forever. I just need reassurance and tips on how to survive the rest of the year.

My entire group of friends (at this point, at least 4 different people) is toxic. I don't wanna be around them

How do I distance myself from a group of people I barely know, and how do I deal with their parents/teachers/etc?
