i'm a junior in high school. i have a class that i talk to absolutely no one in. everyone's sort of divided up into they're little groups & i don't fit in with any of them. there's a group of rednecks, a group of mx'ers, the uber-popular kids, athletes & band nerds. i'm none of those things. i just don't have any friends in that class. i won't have a partner for any group assignments either. i feel like a loser sitting there by myself & talking to no one. i've tried getting my schedule changed, but no luck. any ideas on how to talk to the other kids? i feel like i'm intruding or something. idk. HELP!
They dont have to be your BEST friends in the world, but at least make a new friend, theres nothing wrong with that. Dont be shy, talk to people you never talk to. Whats the worst that can happen..seriously. [ Jodieee's advice column | Ask Jodieee A Question ]

honestXmiistake answered Tuesday August 29 2006, 10:57 pm: this happened to me a couple of years ago, it was a small class, only about 13 kids and there were the popular people, who all sat together, and then the not as popular people, who also all sat together. i'm kinda in the middle i guess so i was all alone in there. i managed to make it through the year staying in that class but it was hard for me. anyway.. i think you should just attempt talking to one of the groups. the one's who seem most like you. also, you're definitely not intruding there or anything, you got placed in the class along with all the other kids. so you're probably all at like the same level and can talk about stuff like that. just bring up a conversation about the class or something. hmm i'm sorry if i didn't help much :[ [ honestXmiistake's advice column | Ask honestXmiistake A Question ]
