Social Life Help?

ok, so I had the best friends for 7 years, and then this year (our first year of highschool) they all ditched and left me completely alone, I tried to make new friends but no one would talk to me ( btw I'm not one of the weird kids or anything, my ex-friends are popular people now) I don't know what happened! But now I basically lost all social skills and confidence and I don't have any friends and really can't make new ones! So I sit in the library at lunch everyday and pretend to do homework, its humiliating! All the people lower then me on the social ladder are weird and do...substances, so I can't hang out with them and never will and none of the popular people will talk to me, and when they do I have no idea what to say since I lost all my social skills. But anyway I'm almost 15 and I'm dying to get on the social scene but I don't have any friends, so basically when I'm not at school I'm at home, any suggestions of any kind will help, please!

Go on this one website called Habbo. and make ursellf a little animated person. its a little world where u can move around and talk to people, and go different places and crap. you should try it. It sure helped me. Now im not that afraid 2 walk up 2 people i dont know.
Reply:join a sports team and or clubs.
Reply:look if you were friends once, then more than likely you can be friends again. just start talking to them about anything, and make sure that the convo doesnt go south. Another good thing would be to find a club or group early in the year, because then you can decide if you like the group or the people that's in it; then hopefully you'll have friends for the rest of the year.Though if you do try to fix the friendships with your freinds you've got to be confident but not annoying, think about it you deserve a good social life and good friends, and remember that popularity is cool and funn but, think as the popular people as people not just passes to a better life
Reply:I used to be JUST like you.


just talk to more people in your classes or Join a sport or a club.


at lunch find people you would like to be friends with or that are in some of your classes and ask to sit with them. DONT be scared just DO IT!!!!!!! it'll be so worth it and dont worry about the popular people they're not worth it. well most..
Reply:you know, high school really changes people


and high school is what some people say a testing ground for friendship


a lot of people on this will tell you to join clubs and sports


but i think you need to gain some self confidence and not be so insecure about yourself in order to really burst open your shell
Reply:sounds like a problem... what i would do is look out into the crowd, try to notice at least 1 person who looks like they can be a friend. trust me, you'll find sum1. But whatevr you do, don't trust anyone since you say you have no friends. but joining clubs or sports or teams is a good idea... when the popular people talk to you just be yourself. And you could try telling them jokes, or something funny. that'll make them laugh at least... good luck!
