Loner
Ok, so i moved from California to Ohio this summer, mid July, and i didnt really meet anyone during the summer because there wernt really any oppotunities. So i thought ok i will make friends when school starts, well i started wednesday. No one has even attempted to talk to me there, not even say hi. So when lunch comes around i sit at an empty table and eat by myself. I feel like such a loner. At my old school i had soooo many friends. What am i doing wrong? People tell be just be friendly, well of course im friendly but whenever i try to talk to people i feel out of place, like they are thinking, "Who is this weird new girl?" Im tired of not having anyone to talk to or hang out with, Ive cried all my tears and I just want to know, Is Something Wrong With Me!? Thanks for reading.

Ask to sit with a group at lunch. Do not try to be the center of attention, but do make conversation

Nothings wrong with you. I had to do that for a week or so when I moved to a new school. Some people are just wayy too "shy" to approach others. You can't always expect people to come to you, so instead of sitting there.. try talking to someone in one of your classes & see if you can sit with them. It sounds a little random, but no one is going to say no to having a new friend. & if they do, then you're too good to be friends with them anyway. That's the only way I made it through my first year at a new school [before meeting others the next year] - & that was by randomly striking up a conversation with someone who looked nice enough. Once you meet one or two people, it's usually easy to meet a lot more new faces through them. :) Good luck & don't ever think there's something wrong with you. It's tough, I know.

nahhh. nothings wrong with you... hey i live in ohio =) pretty sweet place, here, eh? anyywayyyss, we had a new girl this year, & she doesn't really fit in with us alot, because our school is very cliqueish. but.. i think she found this one group, that she fits in pretty good. all you gotta do, is go up to a group of girls you think are nice.. & say, hey im new here.. can i sit with you at lunch? or something like that. =) dont worryy youll have firends in no time.

Ok this is how you weed your way into people's lives. Scope out your classes for a girl (start with same gender first) who seems nice and has a good group of friends and who seems smart. During class, ask find out something she likes. One day, ask her a question about something and casually bring up something you know she would want to talk about. If she seems friendly enough be like "Um...I know this sounds rude, but Im new, do you mind if I join you at lunch sometime?" I doubt she'll say no and even if it's just a pity yes, during lunch you could turn it into a yay-yes
hope I helped

There is nothing wrong with you. Everyone faces this problem-I did this year..I'm 15 also and I went to the same school as I did the year before. I knew a lot of the people around me, but somehow I felt like something was missing and I cried the first day. Just be caring. If someone runs out of paper lend them one of yours. Of course, don't let yourself be taken advantage of, but be known as a thoughtful person and be polite to your teachers and they'll always put in a good word for you. Join activites and don't worry about attempting something new you can always refer back to these experiences as guidance for when times get tougher.
