So for my second year in a row, I have no plans for New Years. First I was supposed to have both of my best friends over for a sleepover. A few days after we made the plans, one of my friends admitted she had to stay home with her parents because they will have guests. Just a few moments ago, my other best friend told me that she can no longer come over either, she cannot get a ride home from her dad`s house and doesn`t feel like taking the bus. She doesn`t even sound disappointed, she will be with her cousin (her other best friend..). They just think I am whining when I say how disappointed I am. I can`t even make other plans due to extenuating circumstances with basically every other person I know. What do I do?
I know I won`t be making plans with other people, I don`t have siblings .. and I will be sitting alone in my room. I guess I could act like it`s any other night and just go to bed, but that still doesn`t make me feel any better about how little my friends care. They just know they still have plans, and it techincally isn`t their fault that I will be alone. Thanks for the advice.. =(

if you try to do something with your parents, it might actually be fun. i've done it a couple of times, and it's not that bad. are they doing anything? and maybe you could ask to go to one of your friend's house who has to stay home, because she'll probably want to be with you instead of her parents' friends.
and also, your friend who bailed on you to go with her cousin, don't feel too bad about it- sometimes you just miss family.

For the past 18 years I have spent New Year's with my parents and their friends of the family and their son who is three years younger than me...but i've made the most of it...It really can be fun. I don't have siblings either so I know where you're coming from...try throwing an impromptu party or see if there is a party going on in or near your neighborhood where you can meet new people or try hanging out with people that you maybe don't hang out with as much but you might find are in the same situation. You might find some new close friends. You can have your own little party...just kick back with some movies or something and relax...enjoy the fact that you don't have to worry about saying the right things or looking amazing, or finding the right person to kiss at midnight...just make the most of what you have and you're guaranteed to have a fantastic time.
