..what should i do??????? help please:-)?
I really feel like I don't fit in anywhere. I have many people that like me and that I hang out with every now and then but not any true friends. I play sports but I'm always the outsider...especially on my basketball team. The reason I'm an outsider on my team (and come to think of it...with my other 'friends') is because I have not done the things they have done. For instance and not to sound mean but my team is full of whores who just put themselves out there. I haven't done any of the stuff they do and that's all they talk about...I've been feeling alone. My parents work and i am an only child. I just feel that if I do act like them everything would be fine. But I don't want to act like that because that isn't me...I just want to know what should I do?

Don't give in to the pressures to be like everyone else. If this means that u would have to do things that go against ur beliefs and values, then do not do it. Its not worth it. I think most kids go through stages where they feel like outsiders and a lot of them do things they later regret, all in the name of fitting in with the 'cool kids'. As you get older u will find 'your people', people who are like you and who like you for you. School is hard, especially growing up as an only child. Having your parents working all the time means that u may feel alone a lot, try to find someone who u can talk to. Maybe a school counsellor...? Eventually, u WILL meet friends who like u for who u are, you just have to be patient and stay true to yourself :)
