I'm 15 yrs old and I'm very lonely. I have a best friend but that's not enough. She has a boyfriend and when they go out (which is often) the only thing I can do is stay at home. That's just pathetic. I also have two other friends but they have their own "gang" and I just don't know how to fit in. I don't know what to do. I'm not ugly or stupid and I wear fashionable clothes (if that makes any difference). Please help, I'm desperate.

This is going to sound really dumb, I bet, but it has worked for many, many teens who were lonely.
Volunteer.
You could check the local hospitals and be a candy striper. Or walk the dogs at the animal shelter. You could work a few hours a week at the gift shop at the zoo, or get together with a few other teens and start a neighborhood clean up.
Whatever you might do, choose something that will get you together with other people your age. I have never met anyone who did this kind of thing that didn't end up having a blast, and making new friends. Ask your parents what kind of volunteer work they think you'd love.

I feel sorry for you. I so remember that age and I would never want to be a teen again. That age is all about finding yourself and having feeling that you don't understand. So here is the best advise I can give you, first talk to your friend and ask her if she can squeeze some more time in for you. If that doesn't work try finding some new friends, and then you can always get some hobby to keep you from feeling lonely. Like find a part-time job or take up a sport at the YMCA or go to the library and create your own summer fun instead of waiting around for someone. :)

Can i beg you to please learn to be yourself. You do not need them to fashion out a way of life for yourself. What they do is not the best. You are made differently and how beautiful that will be if you can rather be the one to influence them?
If you be yourself, you'd have in peaceful and the future will be very beautiful for you.
In not too long a future, you'd all look back and they are sure- if they persist- to look down and you-if you survive- highly going to hold your head high.
Please be yourself and build your mind to do just that. Think things over before you do them and do not join groups for bandwagon reason.
The child is the father of the man. Says William Worthworth. If you fail today, the shadow of that failure will not let your old days be at real peace.
You are sure good, lovely and better if not the best. Keep it up please.

Do you love yourself? Are you a confident, happy-go-lucky person, who knows and loves who you are and what you want in life. These are qualities that attract others to you.
You may be lonely because you are unhappy with your self. Find things you want to do like hobbies or interests and then join groups or internet groups where you will make lots of new friends who share interests
