When I was in middle school, I was freinds with all the kids on my neighborhood. The town was a fun place to grow up. Then freshman year came and it all changed. My town felt completely different. I barely know my once best friend. I went from making As and Bs with no problem, to working as hard as I could to make a C. Barely know my old freinds. I spend my lunch periods in the library most of the time. Doing nothing. In middle school I'd go to the park with my freinds aftee school. Now I sit at home. Doing nothing.

Sounds like you just need to put yourself out there again. Join a sports team and be friendly and you should make friends pretty easily.

My high school experience was similar. My school was very sports oriented and preppy which I was not hyped on at all. Just need to find your crowd elsewhere. Can be a good thing cause you can just focus on what you should be doing at school, getting an education. I found when parents tell us that you'll never speak to those people again in five years, they're totally right.

Still kinda pissed I didn't spend the most concentrated amount of free time I'll ever have making memories though.

I was in a similar boat, OP. I grew up in a small town with only an elementary and a junior high school with 100 kids per grade. Everybody knew everybody.

When it was time to go to high school, I had to commute over to a larger city, where there were about 600 kids per grade. I never really made a lot of friends there.

Just go skiing and find people who have the same mindset. Those kind of people are way cooler than high school kids anyway.

High school sucks for everyone, no exceptions. I was a 4 year athlete and had tons of "friends." Do whatever you have to do to finish alive, that's all that matters. Like someone else said, you won't even speak to 99 percent of these people in less than 5 years. Your still growing into yourself. So many things will change in the next few years, so don't stress if life doesn't seem to be going according to "plan."

used to get the most social anxiety during high school because i wouldn't hear about the big parties going on or whatever. I lived about 20 minutes from the school so it was always a hassle for people to include me, which lead to some isolation... Im generally liked and had various friends through high school, the only ones i still talk to were my best friends in elementary school and some others we picked up along the way. I say don't worry about the social aspect as much, or at least don't let it take over your thinking, it's not worth the stress. Just try and feel some people out, see who you like or don't like... Chances are if your closest friends have changed so drastically then it is for the better that you aren't friends with them any more. Things will pan out just keep doing you and try to make at least one real solid connection instead of 50 fake flakey connections.

Yah dude honestly mines pretty lame. Only a few skiers at my school and only like 1 other who can actually throw down. Almost everyone's trying to hard to be someone else and I honestly don't fit in with a bunch of the kids since barely anyone skis and I'm not that interested in football, basketball, or soccer. Like Idk if college is what people said it is but if it is I'm really looking forward to that plus so many more people to connect with.

Prototype_1Barely know my old freinds. I spend my lunch periods in the library most of the time.


This makes me upset.

I haven't had lunch at school since 8th grade. In middle school I became the prime target for bullying, harassment, and humiliation. I was in a dark place for a long, long time. Attempted to transfer schools, lost my motivation, wanted to die.

Today I am a Junior, normal guy, dress nice, and get good grades but nobody takes me seriously. I'm the laughing stock of the entire school. I just don't understand what went wrong in the first place. I got picked out at random and kids wanted to make my life a living hell. But I started to fight back, verbally and physically. Really handed it to one kid and they started to lay off. Things are getting better... I'm a lot more confident, getting ready to enlist in the Marines, but I still don't have a lot of friends. I'm graduating early next year and shipping off to boot camp with a whole hell of a lot of motivation. I'm pissed off at society. Those fuckers made me into a man.

I'm glad I went through all of that. Great source of strength.

One time I was wearing khakis, and went to the urinal, and I was fucking around and dropped them half way down my ass, except not far enough, and I pissed all over my khakis. I was in the bathroom for ten minutes trying to dry them off. It was so awkward

Are you a freshman? Because if you are, it gets better. For me it was almost crucial to join a team freshman year because you meet so many cool people and invest your time in something.

i know the feeling man. worst thing you can do is try too hard to fit in with the kids youre trying to get to know. i realized this at the start of my junior year. i stopped trying to "fit in with the cool kids" and just did my own thing with the 4-5 good friends i had, going skiing, doing whatever we wanted to. soon enough we started getting invites to parties and making friends with everyone, you just gotta stop worrying about it and things will fall into place. trust me man, ever since i just said fuck it and stipped worrying about it, ive been having the best time of my life in highschool.
