    Alone at school
    I'm a sophomore in hs right now and ive been having this problem since 6th grade. I have a few friends, but its very obvious that they would rather hang out with other people than me, so whenever they do stuff together, i'm never invited and they dont ask me if i want to join them.
    Also, i cant make new friends no matter what. I try to talk to people more, because i am usually quiet, and nobody wants anything to do with me. I'm more loud and outgoing once you get to know me, but nobody wants to.
    Every day at school, i do the same thing, walk through the halls with nobody to talk to, listening to music. sitting at the edge of the lunch table while my "friends" talk to each other. Then go to other classes while everyone ignores me.
    Is there anything i can try? or should i just accept the fact that i'm a person who was born to be ignored and i wont make any friends during the rest of my years in school?

    I kinda know how you feel I'm really shy&dont talk to many people at all. Just try your best to talk to people and smile. Try and not listen to music when your with 'friends' try to join in convo even if its nothing your interested in, once they know your interested in them they will become interested in you.
    Or just try making a completely new bunch of friends or go to the library in lunch/break there might be others in there that may be lonely and just strike up convo about a book or something.
    Dont worry your not alone many people feel lonely in school.
