this isn't a ranting and raving post, it's more for advice and reassurance than anything else :lol:

I really feel friendless right now. one of my best friends, Leah, moved this year, and i feel really bad about it since we were very close. my other friend hasn't answered his phone lately and i haven't talked to him for a while. as for my other friends, i haven't heard from them, and another one of my friends hasn't answered the email i sent him. in other words i rely on a few people to be my only friends, when i really wish i could make more friends so i wouldn't have to rely on so few people. i'm one of those people who has a necessity to talk :lol:

do any of you have advice on how to make some more friends, either here or in real life? any advice is appreciated :)

Offline friends? I'm a master. I usually wear clothes that are kinda out there and people are always saying something about it.


"Ohmahgawd! Where did you get that tee/shoes/pants/grill???//2/3"

Yeah. Then I say something sarcastic and random to crack them up and BAM new friends.

I suggest you try a summer camp, I'm sure you can meet a lot of friends there and have a great time, than you can just ask for their email/phone number, keep in contact witht them. :)

I'm in a similar situation to you, american_non_idiot. The thing with me is, there's a particular person that I want as a friend, and I can't seem to get this person as a friend. I've no idea how to do it. It's a horrible situation to be in, I just wish God would sort it out for me! I've asked Him to.

i know how you feel, though, i just moved to a new town and had to leave all my friends behind. i haven't even really met anyone new since i've been here, so i get really lonely. at least i have barney, he's my imaginary purple dinasor friend. :D

i know how that feels, i've been there many many times. sometimes i get whoever it is as a friend, sometimes i don't.

yah, i have had people who would never normally talk to me compliment me on my clothes. just because i like fashion and stuff like that. but it's never really made me friends..

i can't get along with people my age and i don't talk to anyone who is older. plus i'm a social reject in every sense possible. so yeah, i don't have many friends. on the internet i'm a lot more outgoing because i could care less what people think about me on here.

Yeah, I'm in the exact same position too! :(
I only have 4 really close friends who I talk to often......and I was the middle school DORK and NERD and I'm dying to be popular in high school!

I wish I could help but I'm in the same situation, sorry :(

Being popular isn't everything. I used to die to be accepted, now I could care less. All you have to do is learn to be self-confident and happy. Look on the bright side :)

all that really matters is if you're popular with the right people. and chances are, the popular people aren't the right people. think about it.

When you greaduate from HS, you gradually start losing all your friends. To college, new states, jobs, etc. Guess I'm just used to it.

Plus I feel like Lauren. I'm a social reject too because many people my age annoy me, plus I'm not into partying at all.

Ugh, they never are. I used to want to be popular too, but then I realized that all the popular people were losers and drunks.

Actually, I think a lot of popular people are very nice. Sure, there are some nasty ones, but I think the majority of them are kind, friendly people (and that comes from someone who is definitely not popular - I can't even get in with the out crowd!)

But yeah, Hollywood tends to depict popular people as being nasty and bullying the unpopular kids. That does happen, but most popular people are really nice. I think some people have the wrong idea about popular kids.

:lol: actually i find that a lot of shows and movies make it out to be that the popular people are only popular for the wrong reasons. especially on the Disney Channel. like on the Suite Life of Zack & Cody, London Tipton is only popular because she's really rich (and a hotel heiress) :lol: on Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Hilary is popular because she's hot and acts like an airhead all the time. see what i mean? and a lot of times on shows i think the unpopular people are the ones who would be popular in real life, while the popular ones would be considered *******s at my school. :lol:

Yeah, I see what you mean. I think popular people are treated a bit unfairly in the movies and shows; they're made out to be pretty nasty a lot of the time, and most of them aren't like that at all.

At my school, about 50% of the popular kids are nice, and the other half are stuck-up and jerks......but my sister is one of the most stuck-up, mean, rudest, popular girl you'll ever know! I'm serious! She couldn't be MORE stuck up and mean if she TRIED! Well, really the truth is, she's only mean to me.....not so much the dorks at her school. She said she hates me more than anyone! :(

I make friends soooo much easier online cause obivously they can't see you, so they can't judge you really......plus I'm really shy and I hate going up to people and talking!

Nikki, the things your sister says to you are awful. I don't understand why she's so mean to you. My only advice is to try to ignore it, and hopefully she'll grow up.

I can't ignore her cause she's always on my case :(

I know exactly what you mean. So many people have horrific high school stories and experiences regarding the "popular" people, so maybe I was just lucky, but I actually went to school with a bunch of the nicest people I've ever known.

London Tipton is only popular because she's really rich (and a hotel heiress)

London Tipton....Paris Hilton....lol. Funny.
