Hello, I have a problem that really bothers me...
So... I've been with my class since kindergarten and no one from there is a real friend of mine, because all they want from me is help in tests, because otherwise they wont even invite me to anything or won't even talk to me... The onyl person that has really liked me is my best friend (which i talked about in Teens' Lounge) and she's moving away next year probably...
I do everything i can to be social and friendly and whatever but i just cant seem to find someone who truly likes me for who I am...

For many, college can be different from high school in the way we connect with others. It's by our merits without influence of our parents. I say that in a sense that sometimes our childhood friends are greatly shaped by how well our parents got along. Have faith, life can get better.

I often tell my 12 year old daughter not to fret over friends at a young age. Everyone is still learning and experiencing changes in their lives. When we are older, we can count our true friends on one hand. I had a similar experience. I am in my mid 40's, and I quit drinking a little over a year ago. I was helping myself to become a better person, friend, and father, but many of my "friends" I had several years ago have vanished. I guess I will make new friends and you will too!
