Nothing to do.

please keep this anon as people from my college come on here, and word may spread and i don't want it to.

simple as, there's nothing wrong with them, but i don't mix with the people in my area. and it's depressing, because i don't do the things they do, and everyone is pretty much the same where i live. the main things to do are drinking, smoking, hanging out in a park, getting into gang fights, having sex with strangers... that is what most people around here do, and i dont do any of them. does that make me boring? i'd like a girlfriend but the girls around are so easy. i don't see the appeal in the girl who talks like a truck driver, bares all, offers a handjob on first glance, and has been around. it's probably ideal in most people's eyes, but i've had hardly any experience, so i prefer talkers. i don't mean to offend anyone reading, but i really am getting depressed as i haven't made a good group of friends, and i'd like to. i don't speak slang, people don't like me drinking around them as they think i'm a kid, i'm small so people dont approach me for sports/clubbing, i'm just hopeless in their eyes.

what can i do? i've gotten to the point where i rely on school. i see the same people for 5 days, and its good, but it ends at 3pm every day. i never see them afterwards. half term has been HELL. i rang up one of my old friends to wish them a happy bday, got a cold reply, and a "i'll ring you if we're doing anything". he didn't ring, but its making me frustrated that i have no back-up friend, no friend to call when ive got **** all to do, or really, NOTHING to do. i just stay in all day because i havent a clue what else to do. another reason i dont go out is because i tell myself my workload, but then i dont even do it because i think "yeah but ive got yonks before it's due in".

im stuck with my family 24 hours a day and they all look down at me, because i'm rarely out, but what else can i do?! what would i do, if i were to go out? walk around town, hoping to avoid chavs so i dont get beaten up? go to the gym, get laughed at by strangers, because i'm short, small and...ffs, i'm sorry for feelin sorry 4 myself, but i really am a loser arent i.

i'd like to play sports. people just look at me and think i wont be good at them (and theyre probably right) because i'm unusually skinny and short for a 17 year old, so i never get to play them. its not as if i can go to a park and start kicking around a ball by myself. and i used to go to the local gym, but have stopped because people would take the piss out of me, and they didnt offer any advice, so i was just going there without a clue as to what i was achieving.

any advice at all? i'm hating my life atm.

First of all well done for not being like the others e.g. having sex with strangers and fighting etc.

Least you got some standards in life, do you plan to go to university after school? because something like that can be a fresh start. Maybe you could get yourself a part time job, that is one way of meeting new people.

yeah I want to go to uni in September, have applied. i'm hoping that's where i'll meet most of my friends for good, as it's a chance to meet all sorts of people really. i've been thinking of getting a part time job, but again, people rarely believe my age, and i don't think i'll be the first choice for a retail job, which is ideally what i'd like; a job down the highstreet, but i might give it a shot. thanks for the advice.

Quite easy to get a job in a high street job, even if it's only temporary xmas job.

Are you planning to go away for University? trust me it is a lot better than school, you get a lot more opportunities to join sports clubs and meet new people etc.

Nothing to do.
