Question Posted Thursday December 31 2009, 9:20 pm
i need help finding some friends that will always hangout with me and always do something. im the kid at school that is a great athlete and everybody views that im good at everything. I switched schools after middle school and none of my friends went to my new school so i knew absolutely no one there, it was hard to make friends cuz most kids ther already had ther cliques of friends and im kind of a shy kid with little self confidence so i had trouble finding friends, and i still dont have that one rly good friend. i hav a few friends but they all live at least 20 miles from me and its tough to get together. we do every once in awhile, but most weekends im alone and hav nothing to do. im also a little overweight which doesnt help my confidence. i just want to know how to make good friends, i had some at my middle school but we all went different ways... i went out with 2 girls at my old school and was friends with alot of them but everytime ive tried to text them or fbook message them to go do somthing or hangout they just make up some excuse everytime or just ignore me, its kind of frustrating and the same thing happens everytime... i dont rly hav those "go to friends" i had lots of friends at my old school but wasnt very good at sports and now im at my new school and hav very very few friends but im extremely good at my sport... what can i do to find some friends to hang out with? its frustrating when basically my only two friends cant hang out on new years eve and i hav to sit home with my parents when i envisioned hanging out with friends every weekend, having a girlfriend, going to parties, none of this has happened, and im afraid college would be the same.

Id reccomend just trying to search around and talk to people that have the same interests as you. Have you tried talking to a few people that are on your team? Im sure that once you started talking to people and letting your personality show you will gain plenty of new friends! (: Just let the friendships gradually blossom...Sure you could just go out and find random people to hang out with,but i guarentee they wont be "true" friends that will always be there..it takes time to find good friends..but in the end it will all be worth it.
And if it makes you feel any better..im a junior in highschool and i spent my new years with my family to,haha. You cant expect to always get what you want..give it time (:
