this year i have lost alot of friends for things that are confusing me. 1) i lost 2 frinds because of the way i eat (i put ketchup on chick'n) and because they said i talked alot about my family.
2) i lost a friend because her friend walked all over me and she never did anything to stop her/because she keept secrets from me about cutting herself but told everyone else and mad them promise not to tell me even though i was her best friend(at least thats what she said) 3) i lost 2 friends because of something someone else did! they blamed me even though i appologized for what happened. isnt that alot of friends to lose in such a sort period of time? what am i doing that is driving away all my friends? should i change myself? please help!!! ill tell u everything that happened!!

Don't change yourself.. that's the worst thing you can do. Just... get involved in local activities... like something at a church or something inside your school like a club or something. Get yourself out there and let people see how much of a personality you are... and... you have to be a friend to get a friend... if you see someone having a bad day at school or something... then make their day and sit with them at lunch or just encourage them or something..
