I Have Absolutely No Friends in High School?

Hey girl, I know EXACTLY what your going through. your not the only one, trust me. I also have a twin brother, and he has more friends/ social life than me too. All im concentrating on really is perfectting my art skills, since im getting my portfolio ready for college, like how your studying for Harvard.and the part about your friends, I went through that too.. once you get to highschool, it's like your middle school friends think their too cool for you, and all of a sudden its like your a stranger or something. I know it hurts more than people think, its hurts and it's like no one understands your problem... And it even gets to the point where you start to think that something is wrong with you, for them not to like you anymore. I went through the same thing, and im about to be a Senior in highschool this year. But here is my advice- Don't pay them any mind. If they don't want to talk to you anymore, just forget about it. And trust me, your not wierd, and there is ABSOLUTLY NOTHING wrong with you. A TON of peole go through the same thing. It does hurt for a while, im not gonna lie. But concentrate on your dream. work hard to reach your goal of Harvard. Who cares if those guys don't want to talk to you? THEIR not the ones goin to Harvard! you just work hard on your dream, girl. I'm doing the same thing. and i'll be praying for you, that things get better. :)

Don't worry; like you said yourself IT'S ONLY YOUR 3RD DAY. Forget your old friends; and I understand your brother; he probably is as nervous and scared as you are. In high school after a month you will find at least 1 friend. Trust me I'm a senior and I remember the same thing happened to me. It's really good that you're involved so you could have the opportunity meet more people. It may be hard at first but slowly you'll start having friends, and a lot of them too. In high school you will see people's "true faces"; and your friends will be continuously changing; so don't worry; what you're going through, a lot of us high school kids have been through it before; and I can tell you that from experience. You just have to keep your head up high and know who you are, and of course BE YOURSELF. And you will get in Harvard University, and don't drop everything you've worked for, you'll regret it big tome. Honestly, if you were in my school and I was a freshman I would definitely befriend you; you seem like a really nice person :)

Take a deep breathe and stop worrying; this kinda thing you're going through happens to the best of us :)

talk about this with your friends...u do sound like youre doing too much so maybe drop one thing. while stuff like that helps on harvard, how many other kids are doing the exact same thing for the same goal?

just dont get too settled on harvard, but if ur that determined, do something "WOW" that would stick out on a pile of applications full of the same old stuff. volunteer, help build something..idk haha

but just talk it through with your friends.

don't let anything discourage you, you have all the right in the world to be who you want to be. if people don't even want to give a chance to know you for who you are then so be it the problem is not you but themselves because that's just how society is. If people don't want to accept you for who you are, ignore them. IMO, You shouldn't even change who you are for other people's standards.

It's just high school!

note i am a male senior now in high school, almost there :p

Also do you really want to go to Harvard and spend all that effort? just saying.

I have the same problem. I talk to people but I want real friends. and by the looks of it they r not ur friends. talk to people in newspaper and basketball and see if they wanna hang out after practice one day. who knows? maybe they'll be your friends

I know this was 5 years ago..but I'm curious...are you in Harvard now?

Ok, I'm only in 8th grade, ( going to 8th grade ) and they are NOT your friends, they are FAKE. I had friends from 5th but they ditched me when we got to 6th.. Then I had nobody.. They talked about me, but then I realized I didn't need them! The next day I walked into school and did ME and was being myself, but what I'm tryin to say to you is don't bother with them anymore, don't be shy, be yourself and real friends will come to you, :)
