I have a really hard time making friends. But when i do make a friend they only use me. I've lost a lot of confidence because of all of the friends that I've made that used me and because I moved across the country. I have like no friends and people don't like me and everyone seems to think that i'm really wierd adn try to avoid me. What can I do??

Lately though, I've realized to make good friends, you just have to be yourself. I know that sounds like a cheesy line out of a teen magazine - but it's true. Being yourself will help you make friends who honestly like you for you. The worst thing you could ever do is to try and 'fit' in or be friends with people who are completely different from you. Also, you have to reach out to others. You have to be a friend to have a friend. You can't just sit around and expect to have everyone come to you, you need to reach out. Clubs (not necessarily bars) are good ways to meet new people that you have things in common with. Hope I helped! [ smackywacky16's advice column | Ask smackywacky16 A Question ]
