I miss having friends too...
I was hospitalised the first year of high school; when I came back, most of my friends ignored me. The few that didn't, eventually did. At that time, some people I hadn't known very well were being really nice to me. I ignored them because I thought they were "dorks" (I was 15, give me a break!). It turns out that I was the only dork -- these people went out of their way to talk to me and I did to them what I was sad about my friends doing to me. I've managed to find a few friends (if you call someone that you talk to once a month a friend) since then, but they've never been as understanding as those kids were.
I guess the message I'm trying to send is: sometimes the best friends are those who know what it's like to be down. I don't mean to jump to conclusions about your friends, but they seem like snobs who don't care about anyone else, have never known what it's like to not have everything they want (sorry for the double negative), and always reject anything or anybody that threatens their level of happiness (ignorance).
Good luck with the discrimination suit, friends, etc.
