Trouble making friends.

In 6th grade I was really shy, and had trouble making friends and by 8th grade I had made really good friends. But now I feel like I'm back at the bottom again with friends, I was a freshmen last year and I only have 2 close friends and my boyfriend. And...

my boyfriend doesn't even go to my school. I dread school starting because I feel lonely. I'm not really shy, or insecure... I just don't open up to people very fast and girls don't like me, and judge me. I don't really get why though/: But do you think this is just a phase that will pass... like it was in middle school? Or should I try and be more friendly, or something? I don't know.. nothings really working out for me. /:

yes.I went through the same things,it'll pass by,this is just one stage of being a girl,

I dont think its a phase or because your a girl but I was in the same situation for a little bit and it was tough but I suggest being more freinndly and if not stick with your friends as much as possible.

hey no worries, girl. there's plenty of other girls like you and you should try getting to know them. don't expect people to talk to you right away. you don't have to become Ms.Friendly, but just let yourself be known to other people. A simple smile or compliment is a great way to get a A+ in a girls book.

and don't worry if you're not spilling your secrets. although it's a greeat way to bond, it's not everything. find other ways to bond with people like doing something wacky and fun like bowling or glow-in-the-dark putt putt. on the first "play-date" never settle for anything that would involve a lot of talking like doing lunch or something. if you choose something you both like you'll end up having a good time.

good luck :]
