Okay so this is my third week of nursing school and there is already drama. I started a study group with five girls from my class and its been going well. Every sunday we meet up and study together....but lately Ive been noticing that they gossip alot. Two of the girls also dont like one of the girls in my class and they constantly talk about her to me and others. I on the other hand do not have a problem with this girl and I will continue to talk to her on a daily basis. Anyway my question is how do I slowly distance myself from these girls without starting any problems??? Im starting to see that they are really loud and obnoxious at times (even during lecture they are constantly laughing and talking about inappropiate things). So I moved my seat to the front of the class. I dont want my instructors to get the wrong idea about me because I hang out with them. They really are nice girls, But I just want to remain neutral and friendly with everyone. What should I do????

What you're doing. And when they start talking about someone else just tell them that you don't want to dish with them.

Exactly. You just tell them you don't want to talk about other people, you just want to study.

Continue to sit at the front of the class. Don't say anything. If you are asked why you are sitting there say you can see the board better or you were having problems hearing the instructor--make the reason about you, not them. If you want to get out of the Sunday study sessions have family things that come up that you can't get out of. Just don't get involved in any of the gossip yourself.
