Self concious
Hello, so I'm 15 sixteen soon..but next year I will be a Sophomore.
To start off, I had a horrible year in English because of very immature people, I know I can't avoid that but I'm very good in English it's my best subject, so I decided to take advanced English..I have to do read a book and do a journal over the summer which I'm working on it now, since I'm a fast reader ( and it was a small book haha)
I'm nervous that I won't be able to be with my friends, and I'm worried that I'll be stuck with people who don't really like me. I'm not popular ..I don't really talk to people who don't like me, but if I do talk to someone I'm very nice..I'm very polite to people.
I'll be taking Integrated math this year as well, which makes me feel stupid ;/ I've had issues with math ever since 3rd grade.. It just doesn't click with me. The teacher told the class before the last day of school, that she thinks integrated is harder and I'm like "WHAT? O.O".. I just feel stupid for taking an advanced, than taking an integrated ;//
Any words of encouragement?

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
Lets first start with your class assignments. As a parent I see nothing wrong with having the school system assign classes that provide my child with a challenging environment. That is provided my child has the proper preparatory classes for that class and there is a high level of confidence from everyone, including my child, that my child can be successful in this class.
It sounds like you have not grounded yourself with a stable foundation in Math. To be taking any type of advanced classes in Math does not sound like a road to success for you. Instead you should be taking math classes that will reaffirm the basics and rebuild the foundation you need so you can take advance math in the future.
I would suggest you and your parents have a meeting with your guidance counselor to review your class assignments before the next school year starts. The guidance counselors are available over the summer for meetings such as the one I am suggesting. There is no reason you should be put in a position of failing when it is possible to put you in a position that will allow you to learn and excel.
As to the other problem you write about. On this you are going to have to trust me in what I have to tell you. High School friends are not long term friends. In a year or so you will all go separate ways as you go off to different colleges, the military or start careers. High School friendships are also not like College or adult friendships. They are childless and child like in how they are formed and maintained. If you are a good student and they are not you are shunned unless they can use you for there own good. If you are an introverted person, which you may be, they do not understand this so they ignore you.
I believe that when people, this includes other students, take the time to get to know you they will like you. For your part you have to work at being a little more extroverted. Look for people like yourself, the ones that stand off in a corner away from the groups. Go up to them and introduce yourself; it is not hard to do.
I can tell from what you have written you have a lot to offer someone as a friend and as a potential girlfriend for some young man. The biggest problem in starting a friendship has been resolved for you; that is a common interest. If you are classmates you have a common interest. So start there.
