Okay so im 18 i just turned 18 3 days ago (April 21) & nobody came to my birthday party , nobody told me happy birthday , happy late birthday or anything.

I'm a senior in highschool and nobody talks to me i sit alone at lunch and it's so awkward. I'm a black kid. around 240 pounds & i'm 6'6 any i'm not chubby i have some muscles. and kids who are overweight have friends. I text people and they ignore it and when im in class i hate when the teacher says partner up with somebody cause nobody partners up with me , i'm not a weird person. i dress very nice , i have a great personality but nobody will ever know. people say go make other friends.. but i tried. every single person i try to talk to ignores me and gives me this "why are you talking to me" face.

I haven't even had a girlfriend.. haven't had my first kiss , i haven't even hugged a girl. nobody has came and hanged out with me since. even in middle school. people say nobody that they want ever texts them... but i think in my mind they're lucky.. i wish people would even think about texting me. It's been 14 months since i've gotten a text. When i sit on the bus back home nobody talks to me i just sit in the back and listen to my music. while everybody is in the front just living it up.. I couldn't even go to prom since if i went i'd just be there by myself with nobody attempting to talk to me.

Sorry for venting but i don't know what im doing wrong . like i even to twitter and tried to make friends and nobody even talks to me. i even wrote a girl who i knew who was like my only friend a poem and i would give her goodnight, goodmorning messages and i bought her stuff for her birthday and everything. and outta nowhere a year ago she ignored me and everysince i've never had a friend. she was my only one.. i just need some advice how can i cope with this? :/ (link)
I am truly sorry to hear that you are being treated so poorly by your piers, it sounds to me like they are being quite immature about meeting and talking to new people. You generally seem like a good and kind person. And kids at our age (I am 17) don\'t want to meet other people if they already have a friendship group. I would suggest joining groups that you have an interest in, you mentioned you wrote poetry which I think sounds amazing, so try and find local poetry or writing groups. Meeting people with common interests is the first step to friendships. To me it sounds like you may be a step ahead of others maturity wise which to them may be daunting. What ever you do don\'t try and change your self so that you fit in to the perceived \"popular\" persona that will only make you unhappy and you want friends that love you for who you are. So try and find others with common interests (I know it\'s hard) and don\'t lose sight of what is important like loving your self and knowing people who respect you. Good luck, and for the record I would hang out with you because you sound like a kind and genuine guy.
