I have no friends.

I am sad and crying. I have only 1 friend at school. I am 14 years old in 8th grade. My only friend Kerby was talking to another kid in my class today and the kid asked him why he hangs out with me. That devastated me and I felt really sad and almost cried. Next class after that everyone was talking to each other and I started to talk to kerby. Then my teacher told me to stop talking and move my only friend away from me even tho everyone els was talking. After that I held my head down and fought the tears. Also a few weeks ago we and I was sitting behind my friend then I threw a paper at him playing around and another kid behind me asked if I had a crush on Kerby. I looked at him and then turned around and he said yeah I better turn around. Now I am crying and sad because I have 1 friend and I get picked on for being his friend.

 

Most people are older than you when they learn the difference between real friends, and friends of convenience. Friends of convenience are just people in class and your job you relate too because you both don't want to be there. :biggrin: Of course you don't relate to most of them. Nobody does. Some people just pretend to be all the same to convince themselves otherwise.

Wanting to make friends is natural though. Take up a hobby or sport or something you enjoy. You'll meet people there you have a common interest with.

So cheer up. I know this sounds cliche, but you're an individual, and you'll go through lots of friends through high school, and you'll only keep up with a few of them later. Just try to enjoy yourself, and if you can't, don't be so hard on yourself.

Take it easy Jimi.

 

goth isn't for pussies?

 

It didn't use to be.

 

If you act sad and defeated they'll enjoy hurting you more. The trick is to not give a shit.

 

Don't rag on him because he's sharing the way he feels... It does sound a bit emo, but im new here. So i'm still learning the ropes. Cheer up, you don't need others, just yourself. I imagine you are pretty smart, so the way I see it is that they don't deserve to chill with you. Like previous post said, you need true friends, not friends of convenience

 

pick up a guitar....practice 8 hours a day till you graudate high school......start a speed metal band and then you'll see if those asshole really mattered after all these years....

 

Yeah to hell with those fuckers. It was the same for me when I was in school. As I got older, I realized that it didn't really matter. They're just insecure, ignorant fucks who feel like they have to impress the so-called "cool kids". Just brush it off and don't let it bother you, as difficult as that may be sometimes.

If people don't like you for who you are, then they can lick a dick.

 

Fixed.

 

try not to worry, things will get better someday lode had some great advice above. you're not alone.. when i was in school, i didn't really have many friends. i was shy and quiet, and didn't seem to fit in any of the groups. but i spent my time with hobbies that i enjoyed and tried to push through school even though it pretty much sucked dick.

remember that everyone is figuring out who they are and most likely insecure during the school years (and adults still go through that too). it's a lot easier to find nice people you can relate to and have fun with when it's outside of the weird environment of school. have you thought of joining a club or sport or somethin? or maybe even outside of school, like volunteering in the community? maybe get out there and see what other people in the world are like, i promise not everyone is as mean and lame as they are in high school there's nothin wrong with being a lone ranger. some of the coolest and most interesting people, in my opinion, are strong individuals.

i hope this helps somehow, good luck and hang in there eace:

 

I know what you mean. You know what I do now? When I'm lonely, I think of something I want to do and invite EVERYONE I can possibly get a hold of to go. Then I ask whoever wants to come to invite EVERYONE they know, and so on.

So, I went from having no friends to having all the friends in the world. It's not the same as having a close friend, but I might find someone close one day from friends of friends.

Edit: I also always get EVERYONE's number, to text them next time around. Short, skinny, fat, ugly, beautiful, boy, girl, black, white, liberal, Nazi...I don't care.

I'm also going to a lot of places and doing things I wouldn't normally do, just to check it out. All I do is joke around. Nothing too serious.

 

that's a great idea, i've been doing this too

 

Kid the solution to your every problem lies in sports.

If you’re any good you’ll immediately become a local celebrity, you’ll make friends, the teachers will go out of their way to assist you through the rough times, and get all the pussy you can handle

Picture the head of the cheerleading squad giving you head :cheers2:

I agree 100% with this.

 

Yea but it was probably the cheerleader thing that caught your attention


Hotwater

 

Nah, I've always played sports all my life. Not that I'd refuse it.

 

Well done.

 

^This person's actually nice.


I used to feel the same way, but it gets better.. you just have to learn to be comfortable being on your own and soon more friends will start coming to you because you won't seem as needy.

 

I'm also going to say that there is life beyond highschool walls. Once you get out of there no one matters anymore. Im assuming your in highschool or maybe you're in grade 8? Success is the best revenge.
I like the idea of you starting to play guitar ^^and getting involved in sports(you'll get action like crazy) just don't turn into one of those jocks who have no personality and don't know anything about anything othern then sports. Do what you love, and ignore those ignorant little fuckers! They're going to be mean, and that said. Anyone who makes it through highschool without having someone be rude or hurtful to them is a very very lucky person because everyone goes through this.
They do it for a reaction, and just know that they're not really TRYING to hurt you as a person they're just doing it to entertain themselves.
Just do your homework, stay in school or you'll be there even longer.
