<p>Anyone know what it feels like to be the new kid?</p>
<p>Second week is over and I dont have any friends.</p>
<p>I do homework for people, help them out, and still NOTHING!</p>
<p>Noone likes me, or appreciates me. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.</p>
<p>I just moved here, and started my Junior year.</p>
<p>Its gotten so bad, that I eat lunch alone every day. In the bathroom. The type that is a single bathroom, with one sink stall etc etc etc etc. I lock the door, eat my lunch while sitting on the sink, turn off the lights and lie down. Occasionally for entertainment i look under the crack of the locked door at the feet of people who are walking by. I listen to their conversations.</p>
<p>I really have no friends, and am really depressed. what the hell do i do?</p>
<p>I know what you're going through. I moved once, too. It was terrible. You need to get out there somehow... My social breakthrough was by getting a job.</p>

<p>I'm not trying to be rude, but I find that to be deeply disturbing. Were things like that at your old school, too? If so, you may have social anxiety disorder or some other issues. Not trying to be insultive, just brutally honest.</p>
<p>I was just trying to let you know that mods around here ban people for saying stuff like that all the time. They're rather--- I better not say it, because I don't have the freedom of speech b/c I'm a conservative.. Anyway... I know lots of people who get banned for saying things like "you're nuts." Even if it is true.</p>
<p>I'm really sorry to hear that you're going through such a hard time.
Are there any clubs that interest you? It's easier to talk to someone that has the same interests as you.
At lunch time, just ask someone (someone from class, someone from a club, etc.) if you can sit with them. There's probably other people that feel the same way as you.
I hope everything works out for you. High school is a tough time for many people. Just remember that it'll all be over before you know it.</p>
<p>stand up for yourself and don't do other people's homework! Personally, I hate people who get pushed around - i don't feel sorry for them.. i just don't like them.</p>
<p>Don't wait for others to get to know you. Get to know them. Join clubs. If you are the 'geek type', join 'geeky' clubs. You may befriend a geek but who cares? You got a friend!</p>
<p>And don't eat in the bathroom.. just sit by yourself outside. I sometimes invite 'solitary lunch eaters' to eat lunch with us (even though the rest of the group hates it) beacause I feel respect for them that they are not hiding out in the corner, and that they show a bit of confidence..</p>
<p>But don't go intruding other people's circle of friends because I totally get ticked off at those kinda people .. (eg "hey guys. i dont know you guys but Im going to hang out with you guys today")</p>
<p>And seriously........ the bathroom?? People are going to start noticing.. I wonder if there are any loners in the bathroom in my shcool?</p>
<p>Have the clubs started yet? Once the clubs start, your life may improve if you join a club in a subject that you're interested in.</p>
<p>Also, if there's a sport or musical group at school that you can join, including as a class, that can be a good way to meet people who have things in common with you (assuming that you join an activity that you like).</p>
<p>You could try asking some other students about their suggestions about interesting activities that need members. Another option would be to ask your guidance counselor.</p>
<p>Please also keep in mind that even though you're lonely now, things can change. It does take a while to make friends. In addition, at the beginning of the year, it can be hard for people to realize who's new and who's not new. That's why speaking up to people, letting them know that you're new, asking for suggestions -- all can be a way of getting to know others and letting them know that you're available.</p>
<p>If you don't say much, people may not realize that you're shy or are lonely: They may think that you don't like them. Most people, even secure appearing people think less of themselves than one might imagine. This particularly is true of teens who have a lot to get used to -- from changing bodies to changing perspectives and schools.</p>
<p>If this is a troll, then you are really good.
However, the fact that this is your first post is a clue..</p>
<p>If this is not a troll, then just make friends with some nerds. They are typically accepting of people as long as they are smart, and you seem to be.</p>
<p>This is high school. It's like animal kingdom. If you dress and look fugly, the sad truth is that no one will speak to you. I'm not advocating that you change yourself, but rather that you make yourself more presentable.</p>
