I'm alone :\


Question Posted Sunday September 9 2007, 5:18 am

I've been in school for a week, and I feel/am so alone! I hate it so much. I came home crying. My parents keep saying it will get better after half a year or so..but I don't want to be the loner walking around on my own for 4 months! I've talked to some people...they are nice but they aren't exactly friends.
I hate being like this, and since all the lessons are mixed up, you don't have many lessons with the same people.

Can anyone give me ANY advice...and how could I make some friends at least?

Thankyou sooo much.

I'm always a happy person, but for the first time in YEARS I'm depressed...

Try to keep talking more to the same people,you could tell them about your problems so they see that you trust them,ask them what they advice you,for their opinion,then you ask them their's,say stuff that are true,try not to be funny because people say when they try not to it makes them funnier.Follow them around,conversate into what they are talking about, don't worry you'll make friends soon.

hun, i know how you feel. when i first moved to a new town i was paranoid, thought people would hate me, and all of that. i was scared. what you have to do is be brave,jump into stuff and just loosen up. don't care what people think, this is easy for you right now,because you dont know anyone. you'd be surprised how many people actually will go up to you and say hi. it only takes one person, then you'll be friends with all of theres. also, you could find someone who is in at least 2 of your classes and just be like "hey, your in my ___ right?" and introduce yourself. you could also complement people. these people you say aren't exactly friends; well, they aren't friends yet. get to know them, make friends. go up to them at lunch and say hi. putting yourself out there really makes a difference. smile,be friendly, and strike a good conversation. its only one week in. i didn't make friends until 2 weeks. if you take the bus, its also easier to talk to people there. i really hope i helped. be spontanios! good luck , i know things will get better<3

I very much doubt it's going to take 4 months to find some friends.
I just answered a question very similar to this, and I can 100% guarantee you, many, many other people are going through the same thing as you.


**Push yourself and talk to the people you sit next to in lessons. Yes, it's hard, but to get anywhere in this situation, YOU have to make the effort too. Please don't rely on other people to talk to you first.


**Join any after school clubs you may find an interest in


**If there are any other new comers like you, stick with them


**Keep on talking to the people you already are and strike up better conversations, like what are you up to at lunch etc


**If you have a MySpace or something similar, browse for people in your classes and talk to them online so it's easier to approach them at school



You need to give it at least 2 more weeks before you start properly settling in and getting used to the people and surroundings.
Don't let it get you down girl. Keep your chin up and try your best to get through the first few weeks. I promise you it will get easier.

try joining a few clubs at school or tutoring on a subj. your good in, alot of people are going through the samething tomorrow keep your head up, and you will see the loners, its hard to see if your all down in the dumps, i bet you will be suprised. keep in mind they are looking for a friend also and they are also a little down so get them to look up too. much happiness is on the way, and you are never alone. you always have your guardian angel with you.
