I think a lot of it is because I didn't go out and socialize with people in freshman year or middle school, which is when people usually form their connections

Thats how I feel too. In middle school, I hung out with friends that were gamers and have stuck to that group through freshman year. Then in the summer, I sort of changed my tastes and wanted a more exciting life than just playing ssbm in one of my friend's living rooms. However, it was kinda late as most people already formed close cliques and I found it hard to fit in to other social groups. I guess I will make up for it in 14 months when I go to college.</p>

<p>"I have a decent amount of friends in school, and while I have been hanging out with friends more since most of my friends can drive now, I'm still home by myself a lot. During the school year I pretty much prefer it that way, but it does suck a bit during summer. I go to a private school so kids live really spaced out from each other so that definitely contributes to the fact I don't hang out with them all the time but I also truly enjoy alone time. It's not that bad as long as you make sure to get out every couple of days and do something."</p>

<p>I have the same problem with private school and living far away and it is a pain as a lot of the other kids live close together and can walk to each others houses to hang out while I have to drive for 30 mins. Its not bad in the school ear as im around there anyway but diring the summer it kind of sucks.</p>

<p>Aww you guys may feel like you're content having no life, but i really recommend you make an effort to hang out more with friends outside of school, it really is a lot of fun. it's part of what high school is about!</p>

44

<p>I used to hang out with my friends like everyday afterschool / on weekends but I noticed after Freshman year was over that my grades / SAT II's took a pretty nasty hit for that...so this year I still see em and hang out sometimes but just cut it down significantly to get my grades up since im looking at the top schools now, and thanks to this site I realize what kind of hell college admissions really is</p>

<p>"I could go out and have a fun time, but recently, partying and going out isn't always fun for me. I feel like **** when I figure that I have accomplished nothing that day."</p>

<p>exactly how I feel =&lt;/p>

<p>Do the code tags work? Shoot, they don't!
All right then, here's what I'll say. To make quote boxes:</p>

<p>start off by focusing on the stuff in the Code box. Change the < to [, and the > to ]. Then it should work</p>

<p>that about sums it up</p>

<p>I don't really do much, but do talk to friends in school. Sometimes we hang out doing volunteer stuff, but that's mainly it. w/e</p>

<p>What do you guys think of my situation? I messed up by not making socially-capable friends during my middle school, so while coming in to high school, I had about 6-7 pretty good friends (who I hung out with maybe every 1-2 months), I came down to about 1 (or even 1/2, since I talk to him, not in a deep way). I guess a lot of people I was friends with weren't high achievers. I think a lot of it is the ego factor (I hate people with humongous egos or whatever). But, I'm over that now. Now, I've got "school friends" as someone mentioned, and friends in activities and whatnot. I'm still kind of sad that I don't hang out, or do stuff with any of them. </p>

<p>I think more than that, I'm worried about not having friends when I go to college, and even more so when it gets to the dating scene. Like probably most people here(of course, like others, I didn't try because I didn't want to hurt academics in hs), I have yet to go on a date, so I actually want to in college. </p>

<p>So, what do you guys say to having a blog (with some of these people) - where we just use our cc name or whatever, and we blog about what social things which we're doing, to be more active?</p>

<p>Wow, I have 3 really close friends, like we hang out every Fri, Sat, and Sun and every day in the summer and are on the phone for too long each night when we can and we felt weird that we each only had like 3 good friends. Seriously though I don't understand how you can be happy alone on the weekend. I mean, I don't drink or party or any of that but just being with my friends watching tv is way more fun than doing it alone. Just try to find some other smart people with the same priorities as you and gradually start hanging out with them more and more outside of school. It may be weird at first but it is totally worth it.</p>

51

<p>I’m kinda like the OP</p>

<p>me necroing this is the final nail in the coffin lol</p>

52

<p>I don’t have a life but then no one has a life in my dorm except the lucky ones who get to go home every weekend so I don’t feel bad.</p>

53

<p>lol It would be fun to live with all the people from my school (at least the cool ones, i.e. those in my classes)</p>

54

<p>Don’t you have clubs or theater productions at your school? Can’t you leave campus?</p>

55

<p>We are not allowed to leave the campus and we can’t go out of the building alone.</p>

<p>Funfun</p>

56

<p>Wow, that’s a bummer:/</p>

57

<p>We do activities in weekends though…I think this weeks Go Karts…</p>

<p>…</p>
