I need to make some friends. I used to have friends last year, but this year (sophmore), I just can't seem to make any or hang out with anyone. I stopped caring about my hair and myspace and facebook...stuff like that. Could that be a reason that people have stopped liking me? I just need to know a way to make friends and stand out from all the people like me. I don't want to be like everyone else and I want the girls that I sometimes hang out with to like me. These girls are the kind that guys think are sooo "hot" and "can't wait til they turn 18." They hang out with skater boys (i'm jealous) and are really really pretty.
My life pretty much just sucks in general :)
But help, if you can!

Try striking up a convo with someone that you normally wouldnt, or taking a extra fun class.. or attending more school social things. The other columnist was right, you get out what you put in, but you have to put yourself out there and make yourself available ya know! Always remember to be yourself!

if you make an effort and reach out to people, they will reach out back.
xlovexx463 answered Wednesday May 7 2008, 6:39 pm: Sometimes we can all feel as though there's nobody to turn too. Everyone goes through it at some point. So remember, you're not alone. That's very important and comforting to know.
I really doubt that not caring about hair and facebook had any effect on this situation whatsoever. And if it did, then people who dropped you because of such superficial things aren't worth your time at all sweetie.
I think what's making you feel even worse is that you keep comparing yourself to other girls. You aren't them, and why would you want to be? You're already YOU and that's a pretty awesome person to be. =]
Once you can find it inside you to love yourself, you will see that others love you too. Because they do already, but I think you're just not ready to open your eyes and see it.
