Do you supposed the reason I don't have any true friends is that I don't have a cellphone?

I have some ...'friends' that talk to me during class, but outside of school, they seem to want nothing to do with me. They never invite me to do anything or tell my anything important. I'm always helping them through rough times and do everything (within reason) for them. It's impossible for me to be rude or unkind to anybody (except my sister, but thats beside the point) .... Do you think that no one treats me like a true friend because I don't own a cellphone? I can't afford one and I don't want one anyways.... Also, could it be that I respect adults and act civilized in public? ( civilized being not screaming and yelling and not cursing or making absurd gestures around young children or adults, or picking up trash after myself)

    Nope, I've had a best friend since we were about three years old (19 now), and another since we were twelve. When it came to high school, I had plenty of good friends despite us never texting (I don't use my cellphone very often). I am also a respectful teen who has never done any drugs (including alcohol), smoked, or had sex (waiting until after marriage). Not sure what your issue with friends is.

    when i was 11-13 i didn't own a cellphone while everyone did. I felt like the scapegoat... but then I realized that I should feel like that. Life should be more than cellphones, expensive clothes and hot music. Just choose friends that care about more important stuff in life. Trust me, I have made wrong choises and I know (:

    Maybe it's because you don't own a cellphone. Maybe it's not that your friends don't wanna ask you out or something, they wanna contact you but don't know how? Consider saving money to get one, or you can try to get a decent secondhand handphone. Good luck!
