While it's hard to cut off family, it's easy to do with people at school. Just be polite whenever you run into them from now on and then tell them quickly that you need to be somewhere else.
Negative people are not worth having in your life. About 3 years ago, I ended a 17 year long friendship with guy after he had become this really bitter negative alcoholic. Towards the end, every meeting with him was just a total bummer. I decided one day that I no longer wanted someone like that in my like and that was it.
Eventually you will get to a place where these types of people just avoid you because they can subconciously pick up on the fact that you are not going to buy their sob stories.
