When life gives u lemons, make lemonade. Then, throw it in the face of the person who should've gotten you the oranges you orginally asked for.
What we do is determined by what we are. What we are is determined by what we think. What we think is determined by what we experience. What we experience is determined by what we are exposed to and what we do with that exposure.
(MIKE VANCE and DIANE DEACON)
Life is like a book with many different chapters. Some tell of tragedy, others of triumph. Some chapters are dull and ordinary, others intense and exciting. The key to being a success in life is to never stop on a difficult page, to never quit on a tough chapter. Champions have the courage to keep turning the pages because they know a better chapter lies ahead.
(RICH RUFFALO)
Because you're able to do it and because you have the right to do it, doesn't mean it's right to do it.
(Dr.LAURA SCHLESSINGER)
We are born with our eyes closed and our mouths open, and we spend our whole lives trying to reverse that mistake of nature.
(DALE E.TURNER)
You can have anything you want if you want it desperately enough. You must want it with an inner exuberance that erupts through the skin and joins the energy that created the world.
(SHEILAH GRAHAM)
We all have the ability. The difference is how we use it.
(STEVIE WONDER)
Everything is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Every great mistake has a halfway moment, a split second when it can be recalled and perhaps remedied.
One person can make a difference and every person should try.
The one thing worse than being alone is not being alone and wishing you were.
Real difficulties can be overcome, it is only the imaginary ones that are unconquerable.

The goal in marriage is not to think alike, but to think together.

Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not, but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.
(EPICURUS)
When you look in the mirror, you are looking at the problem, but remember, you are also looking at the solution.
Live your life, so you don't have to hide your diary.
Dream what you dare to dream. Go where you want to go. Be what you want to be.
(CALVIN COOLIDGE)
The first thing of importance is to have confidence in yourself, in your abilities.
(KATHARINE GIBBS)
Become a 'possibilitarian'. No matter how dark things seem to be or actually are, raise your sights and see the possibilities-always see them, for they are always there.
(NORMAN VINCENT PEALE)
DAVID COPPERFIELD just might be the greatest magician and illusionist of all time. He is definitely a legend in his own time. Here are some of his most inspiring quotes...
'The easiest thing in the world is to come up with an excuse not to do something. I found that the most important thing in life is to stop saying,'I wish,' and to start saying,'I will.'
'Before there can be wonders, there must be wonder.'
'Whenever I pursued my dreams, I discovered something astonishing-I discovered myself. My secret has been to consider nothing impossible. Then to treat possibilities as probabilities.'
'Passion is everything.'
'I learned that there were two ways I could live my life: following my dreams or doing something else. Dreams aren't a matter of chance, but a matter of choice. When I dream, I believe I am rehearsing my future.'
Miracles do not happen in contradiction to nature, but only in contradiction to that which is known to us of nature.
(SAINT AUGUSTINE)
The world is composed of givers and takers... the takers may eat better, but the givers sleep better.
Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.
(ROBERT FROST)
Love is a fruit in season at all times and within reach of every hand.

Hey whats up,
I know lots of people with this same problem, therefore I totally understand what your talking about. Now, from all thats going on in your life, your life doesn't actually suck,its just fine, your facing a few problems, but its still fine. At least, you may not see this, but that would only because your still 16 years old. And later on, when you grow up, and like be in your last years of college or start working somewhere great, you will make what we call true friends, and those friends wouldn't care how you look or how you act, but instead, they'll be there for you and love you and get along with you.
But right now, these dumb people you try to gain as friends, they may be trying to act too cool or better than you or anything of such, but really just screw them. You can't keep looking for friends, cause friends come by themselves by time, if you keep looking for friends and going up to people trying to start a friendship, they will act annoyed, but if you just act normal and talk to everyone and just be outgoing, then you'll find some people coming up to YOU and talking to YOU and wanting to start a friendship with YOU.
But before you do that, try to work on your attitude a bit. I, for example, have a very bad temper and i always snap at people and throw some shitty words their way, but there came a time, when my friends started to back out and people got mad at me and stuff, so I decided between me and myself, to work hard on controlling my temper, and that no matter how people annoy me, I still have to learn to cope with it.
And I'm sure that because of your attitude, thats why people pick on you, and find you annoying and they don't want to be friends with you, therefore, prove them wrong, and show them that people can change to the better.
I mean, like next time someone comes up and talks to you and he like annoys you, you should still control your temper, and try to talk as nice as you can, and soon, you'll do that on your own without having to remind yourself in controlling anything.
Seriously, thats usually why people back out, because of one's attitude, and you usually don't notice that, but its true. Why don't you try being the kind of hyperactive person, like fun and outgoing, and develop this kind of sense of humour, or simply even, why don't you try to act naturally, like forget the fact that your struggling to make friends and go up to people and join in conversations and throw jokes and act totally cool and normal. And it really works because people like these type of people.
oh and about the black girls you sit with, why don't you try to start a conversation about something other than school work, or try to call one up or like suggest hanging out after school...etc.
Last but not least, about your studying, I understand how having ADD could be pretty hard for you,but seriously you have to work harder on trying to achieve better grades, because apart from friends or school trouble or anything of such, your grades are the most important thing here, its practically your whole future.
And if you really are having so much trouble, try asking your parents for help, or your teachers, or like increase your studying hours and give yourself a more chance to try and concentrate, and maybe if their is a subject or two that interest you more and could grab your attention easily, try to work on them first to like get you focused on studying.
I know I said alot, and your probably lost, lol. But seriously, everything I said is true and if you consider it and try to follow with it, you'll get to do whatever you want, from friends, achieving good grades and certainly a better life. Although your life is already a pretty fine one, and your just making things harder for yourself.
If you need any further advice, please be free to contact me. I hope all goes well. Goodluck:)
