Hi! I just read your post and didn’t want to just carry on scrolling without saying hello! You have already received such amazing responses and it was great to see that you already felt so much better for them. I just wanted to add that your feelings are completely natural, and despite uncomfortable, it is normal too. Just keep reaching out, like you have done, and you will help yourself and others too!

Hi everyone feels lonely now and then. My advice is get out and about, meet new people, develop your interests and hobbies.

Best wishes.

have you got any youth groups in your area? This helped me get out of the house and make friends, usually they are free ! :smile:

I’ll be honest with you if you feel lonely in your friendship group you should first let them know and if you continue to feel alone try make new friends in year 11 and if you struggle with that keep with your friends until the end of year 11 then move schools to another sixth form and make good strong friendships there as year 11 will go by so quickly so don’t worry that much. Try entertain yourself by joining clubs or doing hobbies etc to deal with the time you have left in year 11.
