I had the same thing. I had 0 friends, and I was the one they all made fun of. The only social life I had was with family and church. My school days were the worst days of my life. A couple of years after I got out of school, my life took a turn for the better.

Hey! I'm very sorry you feel lonely and sad. Please don't. High school is a hard time I know...and it can cause a lot of self doubt. But it might change when you go to college. Teens can be really mean and snobby. When I was in high school I had a small group of friends but then I went to boarding school when I was 15 and had lunch by myself for a long time! I was so lonely it was HORRIBLE. I know how you feel.

Yo I sound kinda similar. I'm the one everyone decided the hate this year for whatever reason. I have like 3 friends, but those 3 I love dearly. Though I think I'm gunna move beyond that and start hanging out with my cousin cause I need to hang out with people more :D

In life you'll have like 5 real friends, and the rest of the people will be acquaintances, in my experience.

DON'T feel lonely. I had 2 close best friends in high school. One was killed by a drunk driver & the other one (her sister) I never see since we're in diff. states but she's still my closest friend 24 years after we graduated

i had one good friend in middle school, who turned out to not be so good. then one friend in high school...who didnt go to college and i did. now that im in college i have alot of friends. there are so many people that if one person doesnt work out youll have another class and meet someone there, go to college, get involved and youll have the time of your life! dont worry about high school its only 4 years and trust me...college is soo much better : ) smile, the good times are ahead!

You say you have very few close friends. You are lucky. People usually don't have more than 2/3 very close friends. Why don't you enjoy time with them?

i knew a bunch of people in high school then i moved and didnt know anyone, and felt lonely/sad and never met anyone because it turns people off. in college i met mad people and had a good time and started out not knowing anyone. but my advice would be to find a source of power man. i like listening to metal because i vicariously release a bunch of stress and anger i didnt even know i had through the music. as a result i feel more powerful and clean of that crap and dont feel lonely/sad. after you stop feeling that way you naturally glow confidence and attract people.

Highschool is a rough time. I am 17 and in highschool and I dont have many friends. Its lonely but I make it. I am told that the friends in highschool after you graduate you probably wont know them. I talk to teachers alot to help. Also I am fine being alone.

None really. I was going through some shit during high school. I didn't talk to anyone. But meh, I got over it. When I went to college, I made lots of friends. =)

I wasn't ever in the popular crowd, but there was a group of us misfits that all were super good buds. I'd say there were about 8 of us. (Me, my best buds Larry and John, my sister, and her friends, Beth, Naomi, Tabby and Katie.) At the time, Naomi and John were dating. I'm still in contact with most of them. Naomi is the only one who is completely off the radar. 10 years later.

That I would say I was close to... to the point where we're still friends after high school...4 max. It's not the number of friends you have, but the quality of the friendship. A lot of people with lots of friends have no real close friends.

9th grade year I had no friends. Atleast for the first three weeks. I finially got one friend and began talking to her friends. We hit it off. By the end of 9th grade I was friends with almost everyone, although I rarely talked to them, I was a nice person and they wanted to get to know me better...and a few wanted to try to use me for stuff. Each year in highschool I dropped five to ten friends because they started changing...in all the wrong ways. In the end, I was down to a core group of 10 friends and 10 acquaintances. Most people, I've noticed dont have many friends from highschool anyway. The best way to make them though, is to be a nice person. Be open to helping people out when you have the time. Join a club that interest you. Start volunteering and joining activities outside of school. Oh, and if people walk by you in the halls and say Hi, try startinf a conversation up every once in awhile. Spend time with the ones you have and hangout outside of shcool more often, it should help you all grow a bit closer together. Hope this helps!

Just two best friends. They are the only ones I need in highschool.

When I was in high school, I had one or 2 friends, they weren't that close because they had many other friends long before I came along. I was a loner and no one wanted to be friends with me either, I never had a boyfriend the whole time I was in school, and when I did go on one date that a friend had sat up for me, I was rejected. I ended up changing schools and knowong nobody and it made it really hard. I quit school my junior year and got my GED. Today, all the kids I went to school with have found me on Myspace and they act like nothing ever happened. I still don't talk to many of them because I know how they treated me back then. Now, I have a couple close friends and mostly work friends that I met at my place of employment. My life is my husband and kids. I know how you feel, I would never go through high school again to save my life. I am very proud of you. You have not let these people discourage you from continuing with your studies and going to college. Keep your head up and next year you will find the true meaning of friends. Hope this helps honey.

I have about 10 friends from high school days. We do not meet very often but I must say we are close enough to catch up from where we left off. You do not need to feel lonely. You may take the initiative to reestablish contact with your friends and rebuild from there. So to have friends you need to be a friend to them.
