Okay. I'm fifteen. I have trouble making friends, I've always been around adults so I adjust and talk better with them rather than people my age.
I have four (people who I would consider) friends... N, B, L, A.
N- Seventeen, different school,can talk to on facebook (rarely) only see at church.
B- had a falling out. Has depression and wont come over anymore despite my massive attempts to help.
L- Different school, always busy, strict parents.
R- only see at church, except when r comes over. (once in a blue moon.)
Me: Major social anxiety, suffer from panic attacks.. And I'm going into college next year.
How can I make friends, and get out of the house, and overall just be happy? I need help. (link)

Congrats on getting into college next year, hope that goes well for you. I dealt with quite a bit of social anxiety growing up, and my best advice is to never be afraid to be yourself, even if your feelings, dreams, etc. differ from the norm. Focus less on friends and focus on developing yourself through hobbies. Unfortunately, people can be fickle, but if you develop a hobby or interest you love, that can translate into an enjoyable career, and you can feel proud of yourself for what you have accomplished. Having 1,000 "friends" on facebook isn't an accomplishment, so don't compare yourself to others and their cliques, if you've ever felt as I had around that age. Live life, go to museums, go to concerts, go for a run in a park, paint flowers, whatever makes you happy. You don't have to wait for someone to invite you out to go do things. You can enrich yourself even if you're alone, even if you're the only one with a particular interest. Good luck
