Need advice

[MCR__Ftw]

Alright, like I'm seriously pissed/depressed. My story:

Well, in 7th grade (2 years ago) I had a bunch of friends and life was great. About 3/4 of the way through the school year I find out that I have to go to Alternative Ed. Mostly cause I went over the absent limit. Anyway I think "Fine I'll just get it done with", so I do and enter 8th grade. They say I STILL have to go to Alternative Ed, we try to appeal they say "He's not socially ready" and other shit like that. I think "Fine I'll do it if I have to". Alternative Ed isn't the worst place, but I'd rather go have a route canal. I go through it with the wanna be "gangstas" and shit that get sent down there.

High school starts, and almost all of my friends don't even know I exist as most of them have moved on etc. So basically I'm a loner, I have no friends as of now, and it's rather shitty. I know how to make friends, it's just that they're all in their little circles, and I'm not sure how to approach them after not seeing them for 2 years.

So I was wondering, does anyone have any advice on what to do?

"Hey, what's up", and then just catch up, talk to them in a class/lunch and everything will be back to normal.

well Ive done that before and its not all as awkward as you think it is
go ahead and just talk to them they will still be your friends as long as yall are still like eachother

Alright thanks, I'll give it a shot. I thought it'd be like really awkward.

You should of kept in touch with them via the internet, or phone or go out with them once in a while but since you didn't do that, I would follow L33t's advice.

I would just ask them questions about like what they did when you were gone, or like any new hobbies or find out whatever there into and just let them talk about it for a while and then it won't be awkward.

To be honest you find a group that you would like to be a part of. Go up to them and say "hey, whats happening" pretend your a new person, if they recognise you then just go from there, not much else you can do really. People at my school are very friendly to new students, hopefully they are in your school.

Not to be rude or anything. But honestly get the hell of sythe. Spend your time improving your grades, studying for exams and spending time with friends.
Always remember, " You only get out what you put in." Work so that one day you can look back at your life, and say. I'm gald I took that step. You don't want to be sitting in a shit job you don't like one bit and think back If only....

I wish you the best of luck.

You have got a point macroman, but some people just need friends to function at school. I do say SOME people.

Friends are one of the most important part of school. School is to teach you how to survive in the real world, its not all about grades. Those who go through school staying by themselfs and only caring about grades in my mind fail at life. they have get a real good job and make lots of money, but they will forever be depressed and lonely.

You need to learn how to interact with people and to have relationships. If you do not learn these skills at highschool, you have no hope after school.

My advise is to get back to your friends, they wont bite. And dont be scared to make new friends. Its not until you finish school unit you realise how easy you had it.

What is Alternative Ed? Do you have to go to like a different school for it or something?

 

[juvenilepunk]

Grow a pair and talk to them, or meet new people.

 

[robsamcalllum]

yeah that punk said is good, jut go up to them and say hey man i havnt seen you in forever!

 

[Reloaded]

If i was in your situation I'd just approach them like "Hey", "Whats up", "Long time no see" Make a laugh about it, and hopefully they'll take you back in as a friend from there, then hopefully life should just carry back on from there..

We don't know what their like, only you do. It seems only you can do it, but I would recommend just like saying hey every now and then and then approaching them like...properly.

 

[mr.lucifer]

You either go to them, or they go to you. Make people focus attention on you and make people interested in you.

 

[deadzone]

Honestly all you should have to do is make yourself noticed around them and they should come to you. If they don't then obviously they do not want to be your friend anymore and you should just move on.

Curious, why did you not hang out with your friends and keep in touch with them out of school?

 

[trainersaremyfriends]

lol they tried to do that to me but I switched schools so that I could actually learn
