Why do I feel out of place?

The people at my school baffle me. It’s all about who can outdo who; in whatever way possible, evening in failing. Can we all not work towards a common goal? What is it with these “cliques”? Can we all be friends? Why do clothes determine how cool you are? Isn’t it stupid to pay $60 for a t-shirt with a small logo when you can get one without the logo for $10?

I don’t have a friend in the world. I have acquaintances, but not a single person I can call friend. I try to make friends, but it seems as if they are uninterested. It’s as if they make an effort to avoid me. They don’t of course, but it sure seems that way. The person who I used to call friend seems as if he is too cool to be friends with me. We talk when no one else is around but the second he sees someone he knows he quickly changes his tone, ending the conversation, then joins his other friend. I used to have another friend, but he’d just mock me. I used to think he was just messing around, but I am beginning to realize that’s not true. How could I be so stupid?

Lately I have just been angry all of the time. Only one girl I know can cheer me up, but I see her maybe twice a year. I can’t drive yet so seeing her myself isn’t really an option.

I’m doing this on an iPod so the places I indented at are probably off; sorry about that.

  • Well first you may feel out of place because of no friends. You can find friends by just seeing other people who seem to have things in common with you. They might not like you at first, but eventually they’ll just get use to you and won’t treat you as they use to. Also with the clothes thing it doesn’t matter how much you spend on a shirt, you could spend $5 on a shirt and other people could spend $60 but they’re wasting more money they could have saved and spend on something else, with extra money you use to buy something you really want and show it off.

  • Welcome to High School/Middle School in America, you have 4 years of this to look forward to you. I’d suggest finding an extra-curricular activity, investing in a cellular telephone and texting your friend from distant places. If you are a boy I’d suggest Boy Scouts since it’s pretty easy to make at least 1 friend there.

    Update – if Yahoo provides the option email me and I can brainstorm more solutions for you, good luck.

  • Awe sweetheart, these questions run through my mind everyday. Just remember, you don’t ever need to change who you are to make friends. Be yourself! Walk in there with confidence and pride in yourself. If you cant seem to find friends then you can always hang out more with your aquaintances and share some good times and over time you will become friends.

  • Because that’s how highschool kids act, believe me I went through the same thing
