<p>Friends are overrated.</p>
<p>I had no school-friends before 10th grade. Aside from always getting picked last during recess, it was fine. I'd just study during lunch and I got to spend all my time after school doing whatever I wanted.</p>
<p>Then for whatever reason I became really popular (homecoming princess and whatnot) and, well, it was nice, but it sucked. Maybe I have better social skills now, but sometimes I regret it. Now I never have lunchtime to myself--even when I try to sit away from my group of friends they tell me to come back, saying I have a group now. My friends will often call me while I'm working to ask me about super-easy physics problems so they can boost their grade from an 89.41 to a 90. Obviously I like helping them because they're my friends, they seem to care about me, and I'd rather they get As than Bs, but still...friends can be a real pain in the butt.</p>
<p>So really. If you don't have friends you're forced to see every day, go ahead and relish it. A friend is a huge commitment, and you shouldn't feel obligated to have one.</p>
<p>Also, How can you survive without friends? Really their essential, I mean who are you going to ask when you need help with something, or if you're bored and want to go to the movies. What about pick-a-partner projects? Who will you talk to during you free time in classes, and how could you honestly study every single lunch hour without it becoming pointless? Grades are important, of course, but I think friends are equally.</p>

<p>Question: How does it suck? I'm in the same situation and trust me, if you like to have fun, at all, it's a million times more awesome then not bothering to be social, and though it is a huge commitment to be popular, if you time manage you actually can get really good grades as well.</p>

Okay, that's the first time I've heard anyone say that. Almost every Doctor I know is filthy rich. Medicine is, over here at least, the most saught after profession of them all (bec. it pays really well) - but I guess it's different in other places.

<p>echnically 11-15 yrs after he will make the big bucks. This also depends on what med program hes doing. if he does those accelerated programs and doesnt specilaize then he could start making the $$ a little earlier</p>
<p>It's pretty easy to become popular, well for girls anway: 1. Get a new wardrobe, must be the latest fashion and something the guys will drool over . 2 Get a new hair style that frames your face nicely, and last but certainly not least, wear a TON of makeup aaaand WIOLA! your transformation from dork to popular girl is complete.</p>
<p>i was in the exact same situation as you because i moved schools. You can't wait for someone to approach you. you have to be the one to approach someone and talk to them to try to be their friend. try talking to people in your classes about homework, teachers, etc. f the talking in classes doesn't seem to go that far, join some clubs or sports. they REALLY help. even though you're not particularly interested in whatever club/sport u join it'll be worthwhile when you make a friend. hope that helped. :)</p>

<p>or if you're a guy you can work out and learn break dance. spiked hair works well too.</p>
<p>hahaha its ironic that you corrected them especially when you corrected them wrong.
Whoever brought up the thing about changing your wardrobe & whatnot: There's this girl at my school, lets call her Mary. Mary transfered in sophmore year. Mary, for some reason, DESPERATLY wanted to be popular. She hung around the outskirts of the "In-crowd" and tried really hard to be part of the group of 5 girls. Our school has a VERY STRICT uniform policy, but Mary would always try to have the newest Juicy bag or whatever the popular girls wanted. These girls ALWAYS made fun of Mary and she was not accepted by that group. I also transfered in Sophmore year. I was friends with one of the guys in the "popular" group so he invited me to a party he had. The party was relatively small and the whole time the "popular" girls kept telling me to hang out with them and the "leader" went out and said "The people you hang out with arn't cool. Come sit with us at lunch on Monday".
I never went and hung out with that group.This year that group broke into 2. I still hear all the members of that group gossip about eachother.
Moral of the story:
1. Don't be someone you're not. I didn't have the lastest bag and I didn't try to be cool but for some reason they wanted to hang out with me.
2. Don't be to clingy. They didn't like how that girl Mary hung onto them, and I guarantee you no one likes a leech.
3. Be friends with people you want to be friends with. If you identify yourself with the stoners, then hang out with them. If you like the "losers" then hang out with them. Better yet have friends from different social groups. Befriend people you envision yourself being friends with, not people that are "cool" and "popular"</p>
<p>I'm sure if you actually really wanted friends you could get them. Follow the steps with new wardrobe, new haircut, and makeup and people will like you. People like pretty people, they often get further in life then their less attractive competition(even if they are less qualified). It's not fair, but life isn't.</p>
<p>^^ i doubt it. judging by the subject of the site, i think even the pedophiles would be smart enough to know that most CC members are NOT that.. well.. that young nor gullible. I mean, CC is not exactly the place their victims would hang out in, ne?</p>
