Im 17 and a junior in HS. I was homeschooled all the way up to 8th grade, so I never had any friends (literally, I didnt even know more than 5 kids my age) during those years.
Welcome to 8th and 9th grade at public school. Coming from homeschooling, I lacked the "street smarts" that most kids had from being in public school. As you might expect, I got picked on alot, got beat up once, and basically hated those two years of my life.
After I finished up my 9th grade year, my family moved, and I was put in a different school. This was like a new opportunity for me. I was alot smarter then. I got my first-ever date that year, and then went out with a second girl as well. I was not real popular, but at least I wasnt a dumb@ss like in my 8th and 9th grade years. I made a few friends, and kept my nose clean.
But I never really had freinds who I did stuff with. Yeah, I talked to kids, but I never hung out or got invited to parties or anything. And I was never popular. I guess some of the reason behind this was because I was sheltered without hardly any friends for so long in homeschool.
So how do you make friends who you can hang out with and do stuff with, who get you invited to partys, etc.?
And how do you become popular among people, not only in HS, but also at your work, and at college?
I think if I could become popular and have alot of friends, that would help me out with girls too cause Id be invited to more parties, meet girls through my frinds, etc.
