Friendship
I just feel stuck sometimes. I’m from a small school, where there’s like 20 kids a grade. Most of the people I usually would talk to are in different classes than me, and I just find school to be so boring because throughout the entire day I don’t talk to anyone for the most part. I was never interested in sports or anything like that, mainly because I don’t have depth perception. Unrelated to that, I do have friends, but it feels like I never see them that often. Some of them seem to make plans without me, and when I ask them about it they just make some excuse like “oh we thought you wouldn’t want to do that” or just dodge the question completely. There’s more I guess but I’m sick of writing so idk. The end.
There are pros and cons in attending a small school where you know everyone; however, there is a smaller group of friends to select. During middle school and high school friendships may evolve or change. Some people evolve and interest change. It may be time for you to reassess you friendship. Perhaps they does not realize what is happening. If they do, then maybe it may be time to re-consider this friendship. Friendships are supposed to be fun and supportive. If you are feeling anything less than that it may not be healthy. If you would like to talk about this or anything else further please feel free to chat or call through the app anytime 24/7.
It sounds like you're going through a tough time feeling isolated at school. Adjusting to a new environment, especially after coming from a small school, can be really challenging. It’s understandable to feel stuck when you don’t have many opportunities to interact with others in your classes.
Having friends who seem to make plans without including you can be hurtful, especially when you want to be part of the group. It might be helpful to express your feelings to them directly, so they understand how you’re feeling.
Have you considered joining clubs or activities that interest you? It could be a way to meet new people and make connections based on shared interests. Remember, it’s okay to feel how you’re feeling, and reaching out for support from friends or even a school counselor can be really beneficial. You’re not alone in this!
This is a safe space to share what's on your mind and to get support from real people.
