friendship.. school dance...
Hey.. I'm a sophomore in high school, I go to an all girls school in Missouri. I came to high school without any friends from grammar school really.. I had no close friends of which I hung out with. I came into high school and met a ton of people.. but all of freshman year I never went out on a friday night. Now, I just started sophomore year and I'm making a real effort to talk to people and try to make friends but it's not working. I'm in honors classes and it just seems like a lot of the girls in the class are not like me at all. I try to be social and make friends but no one seems to wanna hang out wiht me. I'm also just a totally different person at school than the person I am at home. I am really funny and loud at home and at school I'm quite. I'm shy sometimes too. I think people get the wrong impression of me. I just really want this to work. The girls in my honors classes like where their skirts up really high and are really egotistical and weird..I guess you could say, and the other girls drink, and I don't drink (alcohol). I feel in the middle.Theirs a sophomore dance in february and I want a group of friends by than so that I can meet some guys through them to go to the dance with. I AM SOO STRESSING OUT ABOUT THIS DANCE!!! WHAT AM I GONNA DO?!?!?!?!?! It's really depressing and upsetting. I know that most of you will probably say that I should get to know people, and introduce myself, and I am. I am in class with basically the same girls I was freshman year. If no one could give me advice, and encouraging story would be good. Is there any of you that were in my situation and found a group of friends? please help! <3

Dear Stressed,
I think that maybe you could just hang out with a group of people at the dance. Instead of going with someone, just catch up with them [some people that you do actually know] and then just jump in and say, 'hey guys! whats up?'
If you don't want to do that, then you could be brave and ask a guy out instead of a group of friends. I'd go with the friends one because I know how hard it is to ask out a guy that you're not even sure likes you to a dance!
Good Luck and let me know how it goes!!!

I had the exact same problem as you. The friends that I did have in middle school turned out to not be the best kind of people to be friends with. I was the "quiet, weird girl" at school but once I got home I was talkative, funny, and a very loud person at home. When I started my freshman year, I found a group of people who were just like me and now I have a huge group of friends. I suggest that you find something you really like around the school like a club where you can meet people like you that share your interests. Try to talk to people and show them the not so quiet side of you.
Also, don't be pressured to do what the other girls in your classes are doing just to fit in with them. If you do, you'll probably end up like me doing the wrong things just to fit in. Soon you will find a group of friends and I'm sure you'll find a guy for the dance so try not to be so stressed over it. High school is a lot of fun after all. Hope I helped and hope everything turns out ok. If you need anything else, feel free to send me a message and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.
