Cut them out but don't let them know you are - just flake out for a while and go monk mode. It'll reset your brain while you digest TRP, and more importantly, it will prevent them from affecting your psyche any further. These "friends" are half the reason you're beta - they expect you to be beta and it's natural human tendency to fall in line with people's expectations. By the time you go to uni, you can make all new friends and start fresh with people that don't have any preconceived notions of you. It's honestly pointless to give a shit about high school friends, trust me. You'll never hear from them after a year or two of college.

You should try to improve yourself but give your friends the benefit of the doubt. If they hold you back then you can disengage. Make yourself a better person, but do it on the down low. Don't brag and be stoic. Life is a journey. Yours is just beginning. You should feel blessed that you have come across this knowledge at such a young age. Start lifting and work on cutting out one bad habit at a time by substituting a good habit for 45 days. Rinse and repeat and you'll be a beast by age 30.

Public high school and university/college is one of the largest social circles you'll ever have. You interact with people daily, new faces are everywhere, and the best part if you're ingesting TRP: you're forced to keep trying, keep pushing. I speak from experience; I didn't find TRP until after college and by then I was a reclusive web designer working from home and went out maybe once a week.

That being said, your current friends aren't going to adapt to your changes as quickly as you. They're used to the beta you, and you're trying to run away from that. If they're good friends to you, they'll understand. Otherwise, you have hundreds of other people to meet and grow with.

But either way, props to you man. Keep going hard and set up the framework that will carry you to success the rest of your life. Practice often, and most importantly, become the man you really want to be.

This stuff take a long time, let me tell you. But you're in a really good position to be realizing all this. Don't worry about changing everything before school is up. Just take the time to look around you and absorb how the beta life has affected you. Look at the "alpha" groups and see how they act. I wish I could go back and replay some of the scenes from high school with what I know now. I would have learned a lot.

Then, carry that forward after high school when you have a fresh face.
