Ok, you seem to be very good at advice giving, so I'm going to ask you a question if you don't mind.
Ok well I started school 3 days ago, and already I'm hating it. But not just because of the classes/teachers. I hate it because I don't have many friends in my classes. In 4 out of my 7 classes, there's only 2 ppl I like (my bf and this one girl). The problem is that all the teachers seat us alphabetical order, and my last name isn't close to my bf or friend. So, basically I'm sitting by people I'm not really friends with. I have known these people that i'm sitting with for a couple of years, and although i can talk to them, Im not really friends with them. They're ok people and all, it's just I feel lonely and left out and it just stinks in general.
My question for you, youngrandma, is- what do I do? I mean, iv'e been trying to make friends with these people and it's not working.
I would greatly appreciate any advice you have? Since the 'try and become their friend' approach isn't workin out to well.

I always hated that alpha seating too. Once the teachers know who everyone is I think they should just let people sit where they want to.
I don't know how you might fit in better for sure. It would be different if you had time to get to know these people but there really isn't time to do that during class. Is there one particular person who is in a lot of your classes? Maybe a person who seems kind of left out all the time? If so they may be the ones to zone in on. Are you shy? There are people who can just jump into a conversation others are having and those who have a hard time with that. I personally have a hard time doing it. I suck at chat room conversations!
If you have been trying with no luck then it may just be you don't have much in common with them. If they have a topic they seem to always be talking about, learn what you can of that topic and join in.
OK, I didn't like most of my answer so I did some hunting. Rather than writing it all out, why don't you check out this website. It has some great advice on making friends. I sure hope it helps. :)
