Question Posted Thursday November 25 2004, 7:01 pm
I have this big problem with friends. I can make them easily but I just can't stick with them. I don't even know if my current friends consider me their friends.
I thought in junior high I'd start over and make new friends.Well, it turns out I made a lot of friends. I don't know if they still think of me as their friends anymore though. I hang out with them and talk to them a lot the first few weeks. Then, after awhile they start talking about people from their old schools. I never know what to say so I just say a few words. After awhile, I stop saying stuff to them and just stop hanging out with them. Then I start hanging out with them again. They don't talk to me anymore. It's like I'm just a tag-a-long. There's this thing called lunch club. All the people with D's or F's go there at lunchtime Wednesday through Friday. This makes it so I can't hang out with any of my friends. Now I sort of wish I were in lunch club. Err. I had to have a change of schedule. Well, I had made some friends in those classes. Now I'm in classes where I hate everyone and they hate me too so I just act mean to them. I just started to hang out in the library at lunch so that nobody could hang out with me. It's not like anyone cares about me anyways. It sucks. That's why I hate school now.
Also, I had a problem like this in elementary when the kids started ignoring me. My old friends from elementary go to a different school and I haven't talked to them in a long time. I don't know if I should start talking to them or what. They'll probably be in my school in high school though....
