Its left me with a feeling of contempt for them. I haven’t seen any of them in 17 years. I am freindlaess now and am in a difficult position to make friends. Any ideas? Also how do I get over the feeling of contemot for former friends. My best mate sided with the bully who bullied me.
Hey, I 'm sorry you don’t have friends and that your best friend betrayed you! Can’t you go to group therapies or to daycare centers (I think that’s how they are called) to meet new people? 
You can just loss contact with most friends after high school. Seems the same everywhere either moving to full time work or college. With things like facebook now-a-days some do come out of the shadows and try to reconnect though.
Sometimes friends are just a dime-a-dozen. The real friends are the diamonds and will stick to you through thick and thin. Sounds like the friend that pretty much turned on you wasn’t much of a friend at all. Hurts to be betrayed but I think your better off without him.

Sorry this happened…It might be time to get some new friends. Is there a PIER program in you area–or something similar in your area? They have all kinds of classes, therapies, you can even just drop in to chat and have some coffee.
That’s how I use to feel then I thought about it more and realized I chose to live alone and not socialize.
You can take up a hobby then frequent a forum to meet people.
Card players are usually pretty sociable.
