I am sorry Kittycat, High School is a big challenge for many young teens. That age group is still very narcissistic and what tends to happen is individuals this age circulate and group together looking for new ways to develop their own social skills and loyalties are only important when individuals gain attention.

When you tried to interact with one of these individuals on facebook and got that response, you have learned how this individual is still a very selfish person. When people behave this way they are not the kind of people that would ever benefit you in any way because they are not empathetic, they are shallow and unfortunately many of these individuals do remain that way throughout their lives.

It is well documented that when a young teen is moved around, they do have a problem connecting with others, that is partly due to the fact that in this age group many students tend to group together and develop that established group where they don't really allow new comers to join in. Part of this also has to do with how parents group together and socialize and their children get to socializing from that group of parents.

I am so sorry you were so lonely during this time, that really was not your fault.

Often these tight knit groups are actually intimidated when they get into College because Colleges do not have the close knit intimacy that High Schools have so that power group is not very powerful as was the case in High School.

Often what individuals that were not oh so popular in High School have is that they already have learned how to be more independent, so it's not so traumatic to them and because so many are in a new environment, it is often easier to make friends too as it is not so much of a who knows who like it is in High School.
