<p>I don't know if it's just me, but this is my senior year and I've never felt so lonely... because I don't feel like I belong anywhere. I DO have friends, in fact, plenty of them..just not the ones close enough to go shopping/watch movies with. During my freshman year, I hung out with this huge group, but as the years progressed that group branched out into little cliques. I've been busy with ECs and studying that I ended up losing so many people in my life. What is supposed to be one of the most enjoyable moments of my life (as a second semester senior) is probably one of the worst and loneliest. Let's just say.. I can't wait until college starts.</p>
<p>Oh my gosh I feel sooo much like you! It has been really lonesome for me this year! =\ I used to have really tight friends back in the day but sometime during sophomore year my friends just began to "change". Then I gradually became more and more busy with school and such, while they continued to change, in seemingly strange ways, without me. And now, Senior year, it's news if I even talk to them! They're just different people. And yes, I was aware that I was becoming distanced from them, but it still sucks, you know?
It's no wonder that I feel turned of by all the <em>Senior Moments</em> type stuff... I can't find it enjoyable. I mean I hang out with a crew of awesome, amazing people, but at the same time, I don't really "fit in" with them. I do regret losing touch with people, but it seems that nothing is the same anymore. I can relate to you dude. I am totally anticipating college and meeting new people there and making some new friends.</p>
<p>You're not alone, raindrops and macramequeen: A lot of kids--especially highly motivated kids with outside interests--end up feeling this way in high school. Hang in there; it does get better in college.</p>
