I Have Absolutely No Friend In High School?

Alright. You seem like a nice person, but maybe you're taking school too seriously? Don't get me wrong; I take school pretty seriously too. I plan on making straight A's all throughout high school, and that's a higher goal than the average student. (I'm procrastinating right now, though. :D) Yes, you should do well in class and stuff, but that shouldn't be the only thing you're interested in. Have fun in school. After all, that's what makes school bearable for me: being able to see my friends. Otherwise, I'm really bored, and I assume you would be, too.

Your 4 friends situation? Stop talking or trying to talk to any of them, and they'll eventually stop. Seriously. They're not gonna gossip about some random girl they don't really know any more. Get a new group of friends. It may seem hard, but it isn't really. I drifted apart from a couple of my best friends. They weren't b*tches about it, but I was left without any close friends. I later got new ones, and I'm pretty happy. The same will happen to you. Trust me.

Try making friends with the quiet kids or the ones who don't seem like they'll judge you. Nerds are usually really nice, too. Walk up to a random kid who's alone in class and try to talk to them. If they don't really talk, don't give up. They're probably shy. Eventually, they'll open up. If you feel like they don't like you or vice versa, then just leave the kid alone and move on to someone else. Joke around with kids and just loosen up. Don't be too serious. There's plenty of fun, nice kids to become friends with. Also, don't be intimidated by someone's appearance. A lot of people are pretty nice despite their looks. I would know.

I don't know if you do this or not, but don't answer every question in class or volunteer for everything. Do it occasionally for a positive impression on a teacher but not so much that you give a negative impression on others. Also, try not to brag or tell anyone about your accomplishments. It's not necessary for making friends and only lessens yout chances (even if the kid you're talking to is super smart). When doing a class project where you have to talk about yourself or anything similar, don't bring up your achievements. Don't bring them up during a conversation unless someone specifically asks, and even then, just give them a brief, general answer instead of going in-depth. For example, if someone asks what you got on your test, then just tell them and be modest about it.

Your brother's a jerk. Just don't talk to him either until he gets nicer. If he wasn't ever this way before, then he'll be himself, eventually. Don't do his homework. If he questions you, just say "Do your own work" and shrug him off.

I hope this all works out. E-mail me via my profile and keep me updated. I'm interested in your progress. :)

Greatttttt,

Yahoo!Answers didn't post my answer the first time I wrote my answer. :(

In a summary:

Your grades will be what matters when colleges select you. The college and degree you get will help jobs select who they want to hire. Your money that you make will help you financially in life. And so on. It will not matter who your friends are in life-- or who was popular. Your brother's a real jerk.. but maybe he's just taking high school harder that you are. Everyone experiences it differently.

Hang out with the people that have the same extracurricular activities as you. Make a homework club! Do fun stuff like that! ^-^

Hard work pays off. It's easier to just get on Facebook and chill than do homework, but the homework pays off. My sister made straight As in all AP classes (even college classes!), and she got accepted at NYU! VERY BIG SCHOOL IN NEW YORK CITY / MANHATTEN! You want to do good like her! =D

For your own good/future,

please do what you do best and do it well!

Friends will come, if you let everyone know you're open to making friends.

Good luck. <3

WHEW-That's a lot! [forgive me for any typo's, i CAN spell, but my keyboard sucks]

Now, I feel for you, & I'm REALLY *not* trying to be mean when I say this, but maybe do you think that, without realizing it, you're bragging. It's obvious, just from this, that you're very intelligent, BUT imagine if you met someone you're age, who was at a higher academic level then you, and was naming all of the achievements they've made & were accusing YOU of being jealous of THEM? So just as a side note, try to not brag. That doesn NOT mean to do poorly in school or slack off ect. but maybe to keep it to yourself (to a degree, there's nothing with being proud, but a fine line between being proud & bragging).

Now that I've gotten THAT out of the way :) Here's what i have to say:

Teenagers (not all, but a lot) have their priorities "out of order". You're correct in wanting a good future, that's a great priority, but maybe find a happy medium? Keep excelling in school & extra cirricular activities, but make some time to try to make some friends. Honestly, lots of people are saying join sports or a club and that's great, but I personally haven't met any good friends that way.

As for sitting by yourself at lunch, so what? I sat by myself for like 2 or 3 months straight last year, and it didn't bother me one bit. Don't get me wrong, I love hanging out with people and have no problem being a social person, but to a degree, I've always been a "loner". Maybe you should just try to invite different people every day to sit with you until you find a group you really enjoy and like to be around.

About your brother, I don't have a twin brother ;) but maybe just give him some space?? Or try to talk with him at home?? Sorry, Never bene there so I can't give you too much advice on that topic.

All & all, don't worry about being popular. To be honest with you, I personally would rather have a close friend or two that i really like than be "popular" and not know who my tru friends are.

One last thing ;) - When i say "be yourself" i mean that, BUT you also need to take other people's opinions into consideration for example- if it's true and you do tend to brag, think about how that makes other's feel and try to adjust that. So be yourself, but been thoughtful & considersate.

BEST OF LUCK!

People really get messed up in high school, it sucks. It’s a really awkward phase for many people. But I’m almost positive that there are some people in your school who aren’t that bad! I go to a high school full of cliques and really bitchy people, but there are still some people who are different and don’t care about their reputation and stuff. Just look around, and you’ll find some…

and, you said that you were a member of the SADD club, and play soccer and all? Why don’t you join your high school SADD Club and soccer team? That would be a great way to make friends with the same interests. I’m almost positive that everyone in your school isn’t that bad.

Oh, and stop doing your homework for your brother, he has to learn to do it himself. Plus, he has to understand that he should stop treating you like crap when you’re his sister, and he has to get over himself. He’s probably just going through a phase like most of the other kids you’ve mentioned. They’ll get better when they grow up.

Are you in Honors Classes? Make friends with the people in those classes. Chances are, they will have almost the same grades as you. Become a tutor! It will look great on a college scholarship, and you can hang out with them at lunch and tutor them. You are the class president right? You can make the dances fun and have awesome ideas or do really good in a sporting event!

I'll be your friend :'3

I have absolutely no *friends* in high school

Join clubs

TL;DR
