younger friends
i'm 19 female. i'm doing online college right now, due to certain issues. basically, i dont have any friends my age. i only have one good friend of mine who i've known since the 7th grade. we do hang out alot but the only people i hang out with are in high school... LAME. i just get along with them really well, there like juniors and seniors in high school but i HATE hanging out with them because honestly i feel like an idiot. i even feel like other people are like, "why is she hanging out with 16,17,18 yr olds?!" my parents are judgemental too, saying i need friends my age. my good friend who is my age doesnt hang out with anyone either. we don't really talk to anyone else, like we cant go visit someone at college. it's not like i go to the high school events.. NOOOOOO nono, i dont. that would be weird. but i do hang out with them. i am starting to feel depressed, i need friends my age :(

Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
i can see how that would be awkward for you, but i was reading your question, and a thought about who my friends were...my best friends are a girl who is a jewish lesbian, my older sister, my younger sister, my ex boyfriend, my boyfriend, and my boyfriends pomeranian. so, you see, i dont think it really matters about the little things that set us apart from our friends, the things that matter are the awesome things that keep you from not hanging out with you're friends.

It's not that big of a deal. I love hanging out with people older than me. I'm 15 and I hang out with juniors and seniors. I have friends that are 8th and 9th graders too. Be glad you have friends. :) But it's not that hard to make friends. Just when you meet someone that seems cool start talking to them. Small talk. Then soon you guys will be talking more often and get closer. Your not that old either. It's not like your 25 or 30 years old hanging out with kids in high school.

who says you have to feel stupid for hanging out with people you enjoy hanging out with? i'm a junior, and ALL of my friends are freshman or sophomores. i like hanging out with them better because we just get along more. one of my closest friends is two years younger than me and we've been friends for over a decade. we get along, we know how to communicate, and plus, younger kids are fun. i'll have to be thinking about life on my own soon and hanging around younger kids just sets my maturity level down to healthy, non stressful level that works until we're not together. being around people your own age is sometimes boring. and honestly, it can ruin your mood. i cant ever remember having a friend that was older than me. you dont need to feel depressed or idiotic just because your friends are still in highschool. and whoever makes you feel that way doesnt understand you, or your way of thinking.
its not that big of a deal. its just a number. its like going out with someone younger or older than you.
