Going to a Birthday Party with Older Girls
I'm 13 and my friend since we were little toddlers, birthday is coming up. All her friends are probably 14 going on 15. I am already not good with making friends and I don't know how to start a conversation. Especially not with older people. What should I do? How should I try to fit in?

It will be fine, I promise you.
They are only a year older than you. Start a conversation about anything! Listen to what theyre saying and contribute with your own opinion/knowledge ect. They might even ask you! Start by noticing something about them if in doubt- like a shirt or jewellery and ask them where they got it. Let the conversation flow, and one of the worst things you can do is fill any silences. Let silence happen. Try not to be uncomfortable with it, as people will sense that and feel uncomfortable too.
Just because they are a year older probably doesnt mean conversation will be any different. Besides, loads of people have older/younger friends. Sometimes 2-3 years older.
No need to try and fit in, just be yourself. They'll like you I'm sure.
And chances are, if you've never met them before, they wont know you're younger than them at all. A year and a few months is nothing :D

Your not always going to fit in with everyone else believe me I'm 20 and I still struggle myself, just be yourself no need to change te way you are for others it's not worth it. If people like you get would like you they would like you for you you are. Making new friends is a way of building up confidence don't be nervous to speak to people cause you have nothing to lose you may even gain something new. Hope this helps !
