Guys please help me I started high school a few days ago and I don't have any friends. How can I make more friends? How can I start a conversation? And also, how do I deal with this clingy girl? I mean, she's the only 'friend' I have and I know I shouldn't be picky but because of her I nearly lost my PE uniform (worth at least $80), got a low score in a maths test (thank god it wasn't a test), are absolutely nothing at school for 2 days and more. I'm sorry if I'm complaining too much but I don't know what to do and I really hate that girl.

You are not complaining at all, this is what "personal" is for, right? ^-^ but with the girl, there are just people like that, she just must really like you... and if she distracts you too much, tell her that (politely) and if she would like interaction, try to make it during free time or after school. But take what you have (this girl so far reminds me of mika from DRRR!!, so i am going off of that, i just don't know that much about her) you have a friend who likes to spend time with you, and that is the best kind of friend (and remember looks don't matter)

We are pretty much in the same boat. I pretty much just kept to myself when I started high school , I'd rather be independent hat with the others. When I entered high school, all the friends I knew scattered. We all went our separate ways. Like you, I didn't wan to be alone though, so, I kept connection with them all. You know that route you take between classes that is pretty much the same everyday? I acknowledge the friends that I see on the way to my next class and to lunch. That way I keep connections. After about three weeks, I just sit at my spot at lunch and occupy myself (mostly with drawing) and a whole bunch of people stop by to have a quick conversation with me, some people will even sit next to me. My method of independence also makes new friends pretty easily. People come by, say hi, look at my drawings,and then we are acquainted. This is also a good method to use to keep from making enemies. If you are a major social butterfly, then this method may not work for you. But if you are good at just occupying your own time, then it should be good. If you need a better explanation about it, just ask me, or email me:

>>3 Thanks for the advice, but as much as I would prefer drawing alone, the clingy girl drags me around so much that i can't eat my lunch and also I can only draw stuff related to anime. I know no one will say it's cool or unique because the teachers in my school all think anime is some unrealistic stuff that consists of characters with gigantic eyes (meaning chibi but they don't know that). In fact, my art teacher reminds us every 10 mins not to draw anything related to anime/manga. Also, I'm in a selective all girls school so everyone else is just focused on coaching, grades and nothing else. That's why I need help, mostly on how to get that girl away from me. She hates anime (not that I mind that much) but she always try to get me in trouble. Like today, when we were working in pairs in music, she chose the hardest card in the box and left the work to me. Then when time was up and I couldn't think of anything, she pushed the responsibility to me. Overall, my main priority is getting away from her.

Well, you always have your friends in the Dollars... I'm not really sure how well that helps. But go around and ask people if they'll be your friend. And tell them what your interests are annd such

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH I HACKED INTO THIS WEBSITE EZ I GOT IN WITHOUT THE PASSWORD HJAHAHHAHAHA NUBS!

So guys new update: this is now an urgent issue. Now that the clingy girl is dragging my friends away from me. Whenever we have to save seats she only saves seats for other people but not me. Well not that I care about the seats; the main problem is that she keeps doing everything wrong and then pushing the responsibility to me. We have a big group project coming up and I know she will do absolutely nothing and when something goes wrong she will get me in trouble. What do I do? Because of her I've already gotten in trouble 5 times! Plz help

Well the first Impression is really important but my messed it up. Its simple don't talk to the girl at all reject him say '' I don't care / I'm not interested or that kind'' there must be groups of student (They usually group in near of the popular guy/girl find him try to find his hobbies and learn what he usually talks about(try to act at least u have interest in his subject but first google a little bit so u can't get caught as a poser) They will accept you. Trust me it will work .Aww do a little sport cuz u can get higher chance getting friends (and its healty).I mean try to join of their activitis in short .Now to your grades ... YOU MUST STUDY . There is no other way.Listen carefully and study daily (30-1h not much more.Just for now.)Highschool aint easy).Well thats the advices that I can give u .wish you good luck and try to have fun.Highschool isnt that bad as it seems.

tell a teacher.

Tell that bitch ass girl to stop with the shit. Basically, tell her why she's pissing you off and make her aware if she didn't even know.

>>10
Let me tell you something that you probably won't believe, Holo. That won't work. Why? Cause she doesn't know what the words bitch, ass, shit, and pissing off mean. She's been studying all her life, so much that she doesn't even know what cartoons and periodic tables are. And even if I managed to do that, she would take revenge by purposely blaming me for something stupid. The only thing this bitch is good at is framing people for things she did. That's why I want a more friendly approach, so she won't hold a grudge against me for the rest of high school life.

This clingy girl doesn't sound like a friend, she sounds like a bully. Be honest with her, brutally so if you have to, and get a counselor or teachers involved. Get your family involved. It may not seem like they can do much but I knew someone like her in elementary school and middle school and the teachers all kept her away from me after I told the counselor what she was doing.
I know you don't want her to hold a grudge, but honestly it seems to me like she's already making you really unhappy and you said she already got you in trouble. Tell people what she's doing, call her out in public places for what she's done to you already. The more attention you bring to her, the less she can do to you. If she's doing this to other people, try to get other victims involved as well.

As for making new friends, I drew anime and video game stuff all the time and people always wanted to talk about it. Also if you don't have uniforms, you could wear clothes related to what you like. I have a bunch of nerdy T-shirts that I wore all the time and I got a lot of nerd friends that way XD If you're looking to start a conversation, pay attention to what people around you are wearing or doing and talk to them about it. Or if you are feeling particularly outgoing you can do what my best friend did, walk up to someone you'd like to be friends with and say "Hey, I'm going to be friends with you now!"

Good luck, Kuudere, I hope you make lots of new friends :)

>>11 ...................What? How can someone NOT know what the periodic table is? Also, GLHF, I think you're fucked

>>12 thanks, I told my mum but she just told me to ignore her when she says something insulting and that by blaming stuff on me, she's not learning anything and I am (yup, Idk if she's really optimistic, or just doesn't bother helping me) Anyways, especially since she's only been blaming me for small things (such as telling people that I was the one who made her get lost) I can't really tell a teacher. I know I was exaggerating, and I am sorry for doing that, but I was thinking on the long term. If she's already blaming me for small things like these then what about later when something big happens?

As for your suggestions for making new friends, unfortunately I am in a all girls selective school. All girls as in stupid stereotypes (yup a girl literally backed away from me and said I've got problems when I said I would, if I had a chance, learn fencing or kendo), and selective as in a school filled with lifeless people who spent their entire life coaching in which the clingy girl is a prime example of.

>>13 Yep, you wanna hear some more? So, you already know that she doesn't know what the majority of swear words are, nor does she know what cartoons and periodic tables are. She also has that stereotype personality like in the paragraph above. Oh btw she hates anime and thinks it's some weird porn. And like, her schedule is: go home, take a shower,eat dinner, then study from 6pm until she sleeps.

Well fortunately for you I know from experience that making friends is hard and there are going to be those clingy ones. It could take a bit before any real friends are made but the main part is to just be you and not care about the opinions of others on what you like or dislike in a lot of cases. The honest truth is that if someone is going to give you a rough time then just don't speak to them unless you have to, their not worth the time. If you really want to make friends fast (real ones) I'd say you should check out some clubs in the school that your interested in, that way you know that you have something in common with a whole group of people that you can talk to. It'll be hard for a bit but it'll get easier.

That does sound rough, I had a few 'clingy' 'friends' before but those we're mostly that way only for a short period, or in other words when they decided that they won't be in the centre of attention while hanging out with a person who would rather stare at a their phone or just daydream basicly, rather than talk to everyone else. So they showed their true colors and became two-faced b******, basicly one of the reasons I failed the 1st grade in high-school. Yes, I had a class so mentally exhausting that I was bordering on depression, but that period is over and should not be mentioned anymore.
But you shouldn't fail, that is NOT my advice.
I agree with the others by saying you should confront her about that in person, and if asking nicely doesn't work, well, make her have a reason to back off. I mostly pissed mine off by ignoring them or being as sarcastic as possible until they backed off.
And if that won't work, wait until she does something big enough that someone will have to do something to help you get rid of her.

>>14 ...I suddenly find that an all boys school sounds a lot better than an all girls school

Sorry guys lately there has been a lot of homework so I couldn't check for new replies. Anyways, today that clingy girl took a day off and I've made some new friends since I last posted. But this new best friend I made, (let's call her Izzy) is too good to be true. We both hate dark chocolate, like anime, have never made a real best friend and there's more; it's just too unreal. But I'm not really good at reading people, so I'm scared that she's faking herself just to become friends with me, and I don't like that. All my life people have been faking their true selves in order to get close to me. I don't want that to happen again! So, please help me.

I'm really sorry if I'm asking too much, but I feel like the dollars community is the only place that can help me; because here we can be ourselves, unaffected by what other people say.

>>17 nah, some of my male friends say that they have to wear a rainbow tie or something.

>>18 There is the possibility of her faking it but if you pay close attention, you'll realise whether she just says 'me too' after everything or she would occasionally mention things and you'd agree (balanced) :) Having a friend is tough, the trust issue sucks but if she is kind then it's worth it in my opinion! I have a friend who is very VERY good with words. He knows exactly what others want to hear and easily makes new friends. He is also, in my opinion, a really good looking guy so that's an alert there XD But I enjoy talking to him a lot so I decided it is worth it, whether he is a liar or just an asshole I'm ready for it.

ONE MORE THING watch how she treats other people but do it when you aren't directly present so maybe when you're just walking by and she is having a chat with someone. I know someone who fakes a 'good girl' face when teachers are around and she tries to use others. Makes people feel bad and is an obvious show off plus liar. If she wasn't a liar and didn't hurt (use) others then she would be an awesome friend. Sadly I do not have the courage to tell her directly.

Guys I'm sorry for bringing this back up but I think it's better if I post all my current problems on one thread instead of creating more.

Yup, I'm 100% sure she's faking it now. In fact, she's not even faking now. She appears friendly but today she flicked my iPhone on the ground twice! (I'm angry cause it costs over $1000 and I don't want to break it) Also, she cropped my photoshop into something horrible even though I told her not to! I spent a whole hour just getting that Akabane Karma fanart in position.

As for the clingy girl, she doesn't talk to me anymore but now it's even worse because every time we have science I'm forced to sit with her and she doesn't let me do any of the actual experiments. And her friend keeps stealing my 'good seats' (the ones where you don't have to struggle to get out of). I don't know what to do.

P.S. For those of you who are going to say that not having a friend is no big deal, and that people should pay more attention to the other threads involving suicide and all that, I don't care. I have my own share of problems, but I don't feel like talking about it. Instead, if you're not gonna post something nice, then don't post at all.

>>18 Lol wut? Rainbow ties?

>>21 Tell them to fuck off and that you're sick of their shit. I'm pretty sure this is beyond repair.

>>21
What is wrong with you people.
Even my fancy phone costs $300 at most.
