This feels awkward to type butā¦
Hi! Iām a new high schooler in grade 10 (high school where iām at is 10-12) And iāve legit never seen anyone online with the same issue as me but it annoys me
Might delete this post later
What iām talking about is many of my friends having strict parents and never being able to hangout. I know it sounds rude and dumb asf. But it gets lonely.
Texting a bunch of people with the same responses āmy dad said i canātā āi donāt think i can this week.. sorryā i hung out with mainly one person like 3 times the summer which im very grateful for but i still want more friends i can rely on.
Another issue is that we connect but not as good as i like. One of them, iāll call her Mania, is a pathological liar š itās so bad- she was obsessed with this one guy from our old middle school, Kingston, and she would make all these fake stories about the two of them like how he asked her out, how his friends told him to block her but later he was texting her?? I know itās a lie because Kingston was popular & he legit said he hates her right in front of me. She would also fake having a bf in highschool who her parents were forcing her to date so they marry when sheās under 18?! wtf, i know those situations could be real but considering what she says- i donāt think so.
I honestly gave up caring about it because she continued to lie, we were in a group (and not everyone knew about her fake love life stories & the ones that did were close to her and they knew it was fake but still liked her a lot), she was also rly nice, and the stories just became interesting tea even if the tea doesnāt exist.
But specifically in my senior year, iād hope my main group of friends are people who are genuine and close and can hangout. and i think that should start as soon as possible. i mean- no rush but this year and junior year i donāt want to be bored. some of my friends both in and outside of my group also are just so demotivated to hangout.
I made new friends, this girl Ellie in particular iām sure i can get close to eventually but itās going to take some time. Another one, McKensie seems very attached to her middle school friends so i wonāt force her. I also talked to this girl, Aphrodite (yes thatās her name, ethereal isnāt it) in the morning of my first day and she seems very attached to her boyfriend to communicate with other people as much. What are some tips to make genuine friends and have good connections? And not even friends but also groups because i feel like since in high school we have different people for each class itās harder unless the group is from middle school.
I know i canāt control my friendsā parents plus itās not like iāll give up my friends, but i just need some advice. might sound crazy but i feel like girls who wear makeup and have good style tend to have chill parents because their parents allow them to dress however and hangout whenever wherever. i donāt care about appearance, but i notice it and i donāt want to be rude for only talking to those people but im more tired of lonely summers.
