I feel as though no one likes me.I have moved to 8 different schools and when you come late in the year, everyone has their own friends. What should I do?

If you can pull it off try something for April Fool's day so you can tell the story at school a hundred times.  Crazy pranks always hits the spot for me!

Hi, I'm 26 years old and currently in my freshman year of college. I definitely know how you feel; all throughout school I was not a very outgoing person. I usually kept to myself, at the same time I  tried to impress my peers. Now I realize how immature it was to act that way. You should never look down on yourself in any kind of way. It is important for everyone to feel they belong, and you seem to doubt yourself. The thing is, other people are just like you, they will not approach anyone and end up never making any friends. Be bold and walk up to the other guy like you and talk to them. They are just wanting someone to break the ice. My advice usually ends up being religious, but I do not feel like I should preach to you. One thing I will tell you is, turn to the Lord and he will never leave you. He will always be there giving you comfort, and the the great feeling that you belong. I never feel alone because I'm not. Just realize that people all throughout life will try to hurt you to make themselves feel better. You control your own life....make the best of it....live life to the fullest. Talking to an older person is great because they are wise and can give you some of the best suggestions. Hope this helps

Dear dear teenager, \nI went to private school all 14 years of my education and I loved it.  If you were popular at your private school I feel certain that you will be fine at your new school.  Here's the thing: you are nervous about being in a bigger group.  I went to school with the same 100 or so people for over a decade, and I still got nervous every year on the first day of school.  Was I wearing a cool outfit?  Was my hair ok?  Everyone has these kinds of feelings.  What you need to worry about most at this time in your life is who you are and what you consider important in your life.  The groups or "clicks" at this new school may totally be something that you are not into, and that is nothing to be ashamed of I assure you.  Be yourself dearest, and you will be great I am certain.  Don't be afraid to be who you are and how you act.  \nBE YOURSELF -- everyone will love you\n\ngood luck

don't try to change yourself to fit in just be yourself. start getting involved with more activites it is a great way to make friends. or just try to talk to some people that u may think u hate but who knows they can turn out to be your best friends. believe me i hated this girl from another elementary in 5th grade and now were almost high schoolers and best friends

Try and spend more time getting to know yourself. What makes you happy. Be comfortable with yourself, school is one big popularity contest, don't buy into it. Spend more time making yourself happy than worrying about guys. It's not who you love, but who loves you.

you need to talk to a conselor or a close friend or member of your family. try hanging out with people from other schools. see if that helps.

Going by your spelling, you're probably really young?\n\nHigh school is a time when everyone's discovering who they are.  Along with that, many people are trying different things out - such as how to actually make and keep friends.\n\nIf you're with people who are not good friends, then it's time to find people who are nicer to you.\n\nIf there are programs at lunch or after school, sign up for one of them.  You might find people who like the same things you do.  If you see someone sitting by themself at lunch, introduce yourself, and start a conversation.  Sit next to someone you've never sat next to before in class.\n\nOutside of school (where girls tend to be way less bitchy), you might find friends in a store in the mall.  A part-time job can lead to friendship as well as some extra cash.\n\nYou'd know if you were bad dealing with people if there's no one at all that you're friends with.  If you've ever had a friend at all, then you're fine (which I'm sure you are).

Talk to your guidance counselor and she or he can help you deal with it. She may suggest talking to the teacher, asking if there is an area you can improve on or something so that she thinks you're willing to work hard. Otherwise, maybe your guidance counselor can talk to her and find out if you did something or if there is something she is upset about so that it can be fixed and you can have a good year next year. \n\nAlso, it might be that you think she doesn't like you when the truth is she does and it's just her personality. No matter what happens, good luck!

If someone followed me into the bathroom I'd make a joke out of it, like, "Oh hi! Do you have to go too? What a coincidence!" Or ask them to pass you the toilet paper. \nMean, scary people--stay away. \nTwo-faced people--are at EVERY high school. Ask yourself, what makes them that way? It is their own insecurity and trying too hard to fit in with too many people. If you are confident in yourself and kind to everyone, then it doesn't matter what anyone says to you or about you. Maybe you have heard this a hundred times already. . .but it really is true. As you get older, everyone mellows out and guess what, gets nicer. Really. High school kids can be totally cruel and mean. But if you can rise above it you will be two steps ahead of them. \nI was so shy in high school. I was always kicking myself for the things people said to me and the things I WISH I had said to them (come backs). But now I realize that if I had been more sure of myself I would have definitely had more friends, and I wouldn't have been hurt by the silly things people said (and sometimes they didn't really mean any harm). \nHigh school is a fake world. Whoever is important there will probably never be important again. Whatever happens or is said will be totally forgotten after a year or so. \nMaybe you should try to find friends outside of school, like a mentor or youth group. \nAnd if you smile and say good morning to your teachers you'll find not all of them are so bad. I am sorry if you have bitter losers for teachers. Look at them as if you were their same age. Would you still see them in the same way? Or would you have some sympathy for them?\nTry to get the best education you can. If you have to join some class outside your high school, then so be it. \nWhen I remember being in high school I don't recall it being especially fun. The years immediately following--college and after that--were about a MILLION times better. I don't even think I had many friends in high school. I had one, but she drove me crazy. And then maybe 2 other girls that were younger than me. That was it!! But I did have a couple teachers who were totally cool. I will never forget them, and I'll never forget some of the things we studied, books we read, etc. \nI just kept going and things went totally uphill from then on out. Do not quit!

Dont change any thing about your self, Fake people are the worst. Are you in School? If so things get dif. when you get out of it. Just try and keep the friends you got, and get involved in activites (not in school ones).

Dude, you are a senior, its time you realize no one picks your friends but you. You hang out with who you want, it doesn't matter... you won't see half or more of them after this year anyways.

it is not true that no one likes you, as u say you feel more confident when your friends are around.  i quess that makes you like able because u have friends.  perhaps you feel uncomfortable on your own  i presume u are young because u go  to school.  just going to school can be distressful and your age is stressful because you are just learning about yourself.  being free and happy comes with a price, and the price is self confidence.  learn to like yourself, and understand your limitations, and that u are a important person.  learn also to accept some of the things u don't like about yourself, and if possible work on these things u don't like about yourself  being more content and self confident in yourself will make u feel more free and happy.  u may see a lot of things u don't like about yourself, and feel, that the guys are not interested in you, because they can see these negative things about you.  that might not be true, it sounds like your must feel negative about yourself, and it may show in your interactions.  don't be too hard on yourself, nobody is perfect.  if u feel more confident about yourself, and have a sense of humor, that may attract more boysl   \ngood luck, hope this helps, and take care of yourself, a new hairdo or a consultation with a beautician can go a long ways

Our middle son is going into middle school in September too.  He also feels what you feel, with fears that the different school will be bad.  I'll tell you the same thing we told our son: Don't worry.  You will still have your same friends and you have the chance to meet new friends.  The teachers know that you will be new at middle school and they will treat you the same as all the other students in your class.  Don't feel that being tall (in his case, he is short for his age) will be bad.  You are the way you are because God made you that way.  Just be glad that you have your friends and your family to help you.  If you need help, talk to your family and friends.  I'll bet if you talked with your best friend he or she would tell you that they feel the same way.  You will do great!  Good luck in September!

Relax, a lot of us have been in the same situation.  I was never one to have many friends and because I was one of the smallest in my class a lot of people often tried to pick on me.  I learned that the best thing to do is simply not care about what other people think or say.  I learned to accept who I was and the fact that a lot of people are just mean or idiots.  In the end I had a few good friends and people left me alone because they found out they didn't matter to me and the things they said and did didn't bother me.  If they know what they do affects you then they keep doing it just because they get a reaction out of you.

Let me tell you about friends babe.  Most people confuse acquaintances with friends.  If you have 2 or 3 friends that last you over a life time you are a very rich person indeed.  Only your family will be there for you.  Talk to your mom or dad but don't expect a lot.  Teachers don't seem to be the same standard as when I went to school.  Their behaviour leaves a lot to be desired, especially in maturity.  I say to you , you are on the right track.  Study hard and don't let offence from immature people worry you.  They have a problem not you.  You are not a loner either.  You are simply a mature person.  Congratulations on being you.

Your friends may be feeling exactly how you are! So instead of waiting for them to invite you to do stuff, invite them to the movies, mall, or to your house. \n\nAbout making new friends? Well, in general just be generous, sympathetic, friendly, and outgoing. Be willing to listen for sure! When you find someone you want to be friends with, just go up to them and say "Hi," or "Wasn't class ____ today???" Hopefully the conversation will be good, and with time you will have a new friend.\n\nGood luck!

You can't make anyone like you and you should never change or act like something you're not just to make a "friend".  Chances are, they aren't the kind of friends you really want or need.\nI'd venture to say the track team is jealous of you.  Don't cave in!  Be true to yourself; the issue is theirs, not yours.
