Re-doing a year at high school :(
Hi!
During the past year (senior year) in high-school I have had some big health problems. As a result I had to pull out of school in January and drop all of my university offers. I now have to go back in September to re-do my classes/ exams with the grade below me, and I feel pretty apprehensive. My school has this certain atmosphere, so people rarely make friends in different grades- I know I haven't. It shouldn't be a big deal, but I'm an introvert and find it hard to make new friends, so I'm nervous that I might end up alone the whole time. I'm wondering if something is wrong with my mind set- should I just be more stoic or what? I'd really appreciate any advice on what I should do.
Thanks so much!

Honestly, I don't think that you're wrong to be nervous. Everyone gets that way is certain situations.
I think you just need to open up a little bit more. Forget what your school is like and do what you want. If you don't make friends with anyone, you're going to be lonely, and it could depress you. Just talk to someone.
If you don't, you might miss out on making some great friends.

Well, first off I'm sorry you had to go through that. It seems difficult, but you seem to be doing better. :)
I don't think anything is wrong with you. You're just a bit shy and that's totally normal. But, you know I think if you try a little bit more everything will be ok. You're going to have to work hard to make friends. Be open to everyone. You'll find sometimes that the most unexpected people have the most in common with you. It might take a while for people to get to know you and vice versa, but I know that if you are super nice and willing to help others then people will be more willing to become friends. And no, I don't think you need to be stoic as in completely emotionless. I think that if you were like that then it would make you appear boring.
Don't be nervous. Be excited! Making friends is fun and it's even better if you get super close to them.
I really hope that helped. Feel free to ask me to clearify if anything didn't make sense :)

I would be upset too, if we are just being honest. The best way to look at it is on the positive side. You are a senior; it's just one year and then you are out of there.
Who says you have to make friends in school? It's not all about socializing. Focus on your studies. You still have your other friends that you can hang out with outside of school. That's not to say you shouldn't try to make friends. When you go to college you are going to be surrounded by all new people, so making friends is a given. Start practicing now.
