feeling a bit down in the dumps

Hmm, where to start? I dont want to sound like am whining or moaning but I apoligise if I do.
I have lots of friends/aquaintences at school, like people who I know who I can talk to. BUT, not many close mates, out of them only 4 of them I consider close mates. I have another close mate who was in the year above but she has gone to Uni (am in Year 13 now.) And well I kinda feel a bit lonely. I love my mates but they are not the type to go out clubbing/partying or going out in general... except the one who does go to uni- shes out all the time :P. I really want to be going out. If I do go out, its usually me asking if I can come along..not the other way round... They always say yes, but often when I text them asking where to meet etc they never reply! I really want to get closer to them but im finding it difficult...I see all the pictures of the parties ppl in my year go to, but I dont know how to get to certain peoples houses and when I text them asking to meet up etc, as I've said, they dont reply. THEN I see pictures of them at the parties on facebook...
I really want someone to confide in, talk to, cos well tbh although am close to my mates at school, I admit they arent always there for me....
I don't know what to do, and I am making an effort.
Also my prom is coming up next year and am frightened Ill be left on my own like I have no one to go with, cos my close mates arent going to it... I was on my own at the end of year 11 party...it did wonders for my self esteem..

Do you actually talk to these people during school time? At lunch or whatever?

Why don't you try approaching them at school and just get chatting. Invite them out if you want, go grab a coffee or something. Then maybe your friendship can progress and they may invite you to these parties.

Why aren't your mates going to the prom? Religious reasons or something?

And if you want somebody to chat to, feel free to PM me. I don't bite. :p:

Look on the brightside, you have 4 people you can call close friends. Some people don't even have one.
