i wish i would have more friends...all the so-called popular people at my school make me feel so retarded! they talk to me and stuff but i never hangout with them- i DONT want to be like them... i mean im not a geek at all but im not someone you would call popular. im a prep. i have my few close "girl" friends. not many guy friends i dont know why? but i feel like such a loser when all these people go out and hangout every single day but the stupid thing is they have to drink or get high to have fun which is stupid to me and thats why i dont care about hanging out with them. but everyone is out partying and hanging out -even the people who dont do drugs and stuff and im just sittin at home with my mom and on the computer! i never know what to do. i dont have many friends i can call. im not able to join a club or a sport (dont ask why). i am getting a job soon and school is starting up in a couple weeks. for some reason im getting really depressed over this..ive never had a boyfriend but most people tell me im so gorgeous or hott or beautiful and sometimes i believe them but i just dont know whats wrong with me!!
any suggestions to turn my life around? and just have more fun. my brother is 19 and he even makes fun of me and says im a loser and have no friends and just sit at home and i know its true and i hate hearing about it.

LiSaxOBaBii answered Monday August 21 2006, 5:57 pm: find an interest to keep you busy. You don't have to join anything, but make a collection, play with a yo-yo..sing, dance, act..anything!! There are so many people who you could potentially be friends with who don't make dumb descisions like drinking and doing drugs. I'm sure there are people who you've glanced at, but haven't given them a chance. People can surprise you sometimes and you could be really compatiable with someone you never knew was even around.

caramella answered Monday August 21 2006, 11:36 am: I think you should be happy with your life.You are beautiful and VERY smart to be keeping away from the popular kids.They are popular,but for what?FOR DOING THE WRONG THINGS.They smoke,drink,get high,lose their virginity,get pregnant and come complaining.DO YOU want that to happen to you?The popular people are just not for you to hang out with.Well,a new years starting and youll meet newer people and make new freinds.Just be more sociable with the people your gonna make freinds with and keep away from the popular people.Youll regret it if you dont.Youll find them pushing you into doing EVERYTHING you never wanted to do and all of this,to be POPULAR.You need to have a strong personality and not let anyone push you into doing something you dont want to.Good luck [ caramella's advice column | Ask caramella A Question ]
MrCary answered Monday August 21 2006, 11:02 am: So your brother calls you a loser, makes fun of you, and you agree that it's true? Don't tear yourself down like that because it's not true.
Let me start off by saying this - if all the kids are high, drunk, and always partying, you don't want to be a part of that and I know you realize that. You don't want to be their friend because that stuff will just tear you down and in my opinion having a few friends is much greater than having that kind of friend.
Your morals seem to be on the high side - do you go to church? If so, get more involved there...maybe in the youth group or something similar. I'm sure there are people there who are just like you and would love to be your friend. Just go up and talk to people there...introduce yourself. Or talk to your youth minister and tell them you don't know anybody and would like to be introduced to some of the other people...that will work, I promise! :)
You're not a loser, so don't say you are. I hope you get some more friends soon. In your title you said you had to friends. Guess what?!? You've got at least 1 now....ME! Feel free to message me if you ever want to talk! I'll be here for you! Good luck with getting more friends, you're going to do great! :) [ MrCary's advice column | Ask MrCary A Question ]
