While at school I had a set up where at any time I could go to the school counselor or nurses office at a moments notice. I also had at least one of my 2 close friends in every one of my classes. That is the way it will be next year as well.

I will only be scheduled if I get the job for at most 20 hours per week. So most shifts will probably be 4-6 hours. That isn't too bad. My Mom has also been a stay at home mom ever since I have returned home so if anything does go wrong she is only 15 minutes away from the theater to get me.

I really appreciate your kind words. If I do attend a dance my two closest friends would be there so that would help. I have never had a boyfriend and that is one of the most difficult things for me to even think about a I cannot even think about trusting a guy because of all the sexual abuse I endured in the 15 months. I can pretty much only allow appropriate touch from my parents, brother, therapist,school counselor, Psychiatrist, Nurse, 2 friends, and other close family to this day.

My home we have a pool and I'd love to have a pool party, but really other than my 2 really close friends and my brother nobody would come. it isn't that people don't like me. It is people don't know me or think I am so fragile and a complete mess and crazy. I have also thought about having sleepovers at my home with my two close girlfriends. The only problem with that is I have frequent nightmares and i am afraid that would ruin the sleepover.
Sounds like you have everything set up for yourself, to keep yourself safe. That is awesome!

I say, have that pool party. You could ask both of your close friends to each invite 1 extra friend and so you'd have 4 guests total. Like I said, start really small. Don't just assume that no one would come if you invited them. Assumptions are based on our own insecurities and fears and are 99% of the times, never accurate.

So, maybe start with a pool party -- how fun! -- and invite your 2 close pals, and ask them to each invite another friend along who would like to go. Then you can entertain 4 guests with food and fun in the pool. And eventually, maybe even by the end of summertime, you'll grow your social network a little larger.

Getting to know people takes time.
