In middle school I was always very talkative and I had a lot of friends.
The first semester of my freshman year in high school I went to a school far away because I wanted new friends in a different place. So I went to a new school and the people there all knew each other and they ignored me and were rude to me. When I switched schools for my second semester I was a different person. Now I am shy and very quiet and I don't really talk to anyone.
My problem is...
Should I switch schools again?
I have no friends at this school that I've been going to for a year now, I don't see myself being friends with anyone at my school either.
My school schedule is awful, I have 3 hours of class and then a 2 and a half hour break before my last class. Since I don't have any friends or that much homework I just sit in the library for 2 and a half hours since my house is way too far away to walk to. Its too late to join any clubs {that seems to be the idea people always give me when I ask how to make friends} and I have nothing in common with any of the kids there. I'm 100% positive, I just think differently then they all do.
How do I make friends?
Should I switch schools again?
Please Help!
Changing schools won't do anything, you'll just be in the same place as you are now.
But you got to break out of your shell. Show people what kind of person you really are. Even though it's too late to join clubs, maybe hang out with a group of them that interests you. The clubs at my school were for the most part so lax that people would come and go regularly, well, the student created ones anyway. You could always start your own club, but that requires some work... But like make one that's not being done already.
You can always take a class that forces you to be social or requires labs, like a psych class or sociology class, or drama class, or some class like that. And actually talk to those you work with.
Even if you don't need it, ask people for help, get to know them a bit that way. That's another way...
Either way ya do it, though, you're going to have to take a step out of your comfort zone more than likely, if you want to make yourself known...

Well changing schools is not going to help, it might even make it worse, if you're talking about a big city. But since you already changed, you could always try to make friends among people who have the same interests with you such as anime or even other things. I did that once and it didn't go well in the beginning, but look at me now, people accept me as I am and I don't regret the choices I made, even though they are hard to make.
Switching schools isn't necessary...I think I used to be like you during my freshman year, but then it's easy to meet new people
For example, during lunch break, I used to not know anyone at all during my first year in hs, but then I just sat there, and peeps just come to me to start talking with.
Some people are really paranoid about being a loner at school, but I got over that. I gots lots of friends now cuz I started to not being shy anymore...You'll be really happy once you break that wall called Shyness.
- try again to get in at least one club (ask directly)
- ask for help if you don't understand something, and try starting a conversation
- (as Silent said) try talking to people during luch break
maybe you're looking for the wrong people to be your friends...? there are always nice folks around!
and as everyone already said, changing schools won't help... (I think)
Well first off...theres always people that think like you..or that have similar interests/personalities etc... But if you think that theres not, youre always gonna feel like you dont belong in your school and so on...so you need to get rid of those thoughts before anything..Also 'not seeing yourself being friends' with anyone there will hinder you too...
I would just ultimately suggest not switching schools..even if you did, with the mindset you have it prolly wouldnt make a difference..
Dont be afraid of trying to make friends or at least meeting people...some really arent as bad as youd think and youll find that out if you look hard enough..
On the other hand school isnt really about making friends so you could just say screw it and do what you need to do, and thats it
Really tho just dont be afraid to join clubs or just talk to people...if you were talkative before then youre capable of it and believe it or not people will appreciate you for just being yourself
