Meeting new people.. it seems hopeless.
15/Female
I guess I am really lonely/bored. I am "popular" and friends with a lot of different people but they always seem to be busy, working or on vacation.
I know I'm feeling desperate but I have been invited to some big parties but haven't gone since I don't feel like lying to my parents (even if I didn't drink or blaze I can't go home smelling like that). I'm afraid that I will get bored enough of sitting at home doing nothing that I will go to the party and get myself into a lot of trouble.
I guess I'm asking what I can do to meet new people if I can't sign up for camp halfway through summer, no sports teams are running, I can't get a ride anywhere to volunteer, I'm home alone all day so I basically can't get a ride anywhere and my parents don't want me to work yet.
I really just don't want to waste the summer being alone.. I spend enough time doing that (I'm an only child). What can I possibly do? I know every person in my grade in my highschool it seems hopeless.
Thanks.

Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
you should meet people by aproaching them and tell your name. Then start a conversation. Join some clubs and then try out for captin (if u wanna) then you'll have the whole team as your friend! If you want to volnteer go to a nursing home. (take a bike or ask one of your new friends)! :-)

Hey,
I read your problem and it seems to me really tough and lonely, thats why i am going to make some suggestions to help you.
First of all, there is no way that you are the only person in the whole entire school whose lonely ,bored and can't find someone to go out with. I mean... your popular and you know alot of people,so why don't you try and call anyone, and i am sure that there will be someone who will agree to go out with you. Besides, its also impossible that you friends are busy all day long and during all the days of the week, they have to have a holiday to go out and get some fresh air, so try calling them and asking about them and suggesting that you guys can all go out together on a weekend or something.
More and more, you can try and get and online volunteer job, like for example this website, there ar alot of people who come here and register to be counsellers just to kill time and help others, and there is alot more to do on the internet. Moreover, you could try to see what you like to do or what your hobbies are and try to work on them more often.
If you have good neighbours and you know them well, and if they have anyone your age, you could be friends and hang out.
Last but not least, i am sure that your parents had refused for you to go to the party and to get a part time job,but i am also sure that they most probably have sometime for you when they come home from work, so talk to them and tell them how lonely you are, and how you stay alone in the house and you have no one to talk to or hang out with, and suggest mabye that you and your family could on vacation together, and they'll understand and mabye even conside it.
So goodluck, and if you need anything else, please contact me.

Really I had the same problem but I did little stuff like sports outside in my backyard, arts and crafts, whatch movies, go outside and run, because if you stay fit on YOUR own then you are helping yourself alot because you can tryout for sports at school and hopefully meet you know people an then that next summer you can play sports together and you will have other people in your life besides the same friends you usually devote your time to!!
