Should I worry about my nonexistant social life in high school?

I am 15 and a junior in high school.i went to a private school until 8th grade then went to a public school in a different town for 9th grade. i only knew one person at my new school… i still don’t really have many friends here. I was popular at my old school but now I just can’t relate to the people here.the popular people smoke pot on the weekends and go to parties and drink and stuff but I can’t relate to that. I get good grades-my sophomore year i got a 4.17 gpa and this year i am taking 2 honors and 2 AP classes and i play basketball..I am attempting for a 4.8 GPA. the whole social aspect of school gets me down. im introverted and my friend said she thought I was a “snob” when she first met me in 9th grade..we’re ok friends now but she kinda ditched me.anyways is this something to worry about?people at my school still dont know me last week a girl said “are you new i never seen you before” anyways im sad all the time about my lack of friends but i can’t find people to relate to

You know what, you are worried about nothing. I know that at 15, it is really hard when you feel like you don’t have friends. When I was in high school, here is what I did- first, rise above those who “ignore” you. The more you act like you don’t care, the more they will be interested to get to know you. If they think that you are confident enough not to worry what they think, they will realize that you are your own person. And don’t limit yourself to one “click”. I was friends with the jocks, the snobs, the rednecks, etc. Put forth effort to get to know those that you can relate to & go from there. You sound like a great person & don’t blame yourself for those who are to shallow to see that. They will regret it later on. Keep your chin up & you will be fine. Self confidence is an important quality to have. Hang in there!

My heart goes out to you πŸ™‚ You are already worried about, so think about how to change it!! I went from having tons of friend to next to none when I stopped drinking, so I understand not being able to relate to the “popular” people. Don’t worry about being friends with the popular crowd, some people just do not mix well, and you can’t force it.

Your classes are obviously your top priority (good for you!!) but have you thought about joining a school club? Or even some organization outside of school? You will meet people that you have more in common with.

There is nothing wrong with being introverted unless it gets in the way of everyday life or your goals. And it sounds like one of your goals is to have more friends. You don’t have to act like anyone else or compromise yourself in anyway to get friends, just be yourself, smile, and be comfortable in your own skin and they will come to you.

I wish you all the luck and confidence in the world, I really hope your situation improves πŸ™‚

ok. i think of you need to locate like-minded human beings to dangle out with. you need to grin, be friendly, effective, type and approachable. I understand you’re an introvert… i think of somewhat some persons are introverts, myself blanketed… yet you won’t have the capacity to enable that rule your existence. i think of you’re smart to stay faraway from the team who party and do drugs, sounds like it rather is no longer your style – and that’s a sturdy ingredient. it rather is okay to be quiet, do purely no longer cut back your self off from the international. highschool could be exciting. Social stuff is substantial yet do no longer enable it get you down. some individuals are ‘late bloomers’. while something of the team grows up (over right here couple of years) you will locate which you slot in better. until eventually then, attempt to locate some human beings to dangle out with and luxuriate in a snicker with, it will make you experience better approximately your self and issues will circulate forward from there. dangle in there sometimes you experience such as you’re purely waiting for each individual else to strengthen up!
