i have this problem too sometimes. its so annoying. and although everyone says to be friendly and confident, it is much easier said than done. if u have trouble talking with kids, maybe during lunch or recess find something to talk about that u have in common with someone else. like for example, complain about your homework, or teacher, or say that you are tired. then start talking more and have a conversation about something that the two of you have in common. when its time to choose a partner, be brave and ask that person who you were talking with earlier if they want to be your partner. if not, then try not to sound to sad or desperate, and go find someone else. and as for being made fun of, is it the boys who are doing it? because maybe they are giving u a hard time if they like you ;)
sorry that was kinda long, but hope it helped

It's time to take some risks. Say, "Next time YOU'LL be MY partner!"
I wasn't that weird either, but there I was alone every lunch, alone, alone, alone. I've held back all my emotions since I was a kid. Were you adopted by any chance? I think that's the root of my "social phobia." I don't know if that's what you have, but it's worth looking into and finding some books about it.

psha. you're probably more mature than any of them.
try extracurricular activities. join clubs and organizations of people who are most like you. those are a good way to practice your social skills. be open. don't let people bother you. and when they do, show them that it takes more than that to get to you. be confident; people are afraid of those who have confidence in themselves. try not to let yourself be an easy target. when people see you shy away, the more they'll try to intimidate you because they know that they have power over you.
if this doesn't work, hey, you're only one year away from high school. things should get better there; people are more mature and accepting and it's much easier to find a group to fit in to.
remember, don't try to please people without pleasing yourself first. you can't make people like you. you have to start with yourself. when you realize what an awesome, cool-tastic person you are, the buds of confidence shall grow. it's only when you can truly see who you are that people will begin to take notice and interest.

its probably something you give off that makes others feel that you want to be alone. try striking up a conversation with one of the popular kids about something that happened intersting on t.v if all else fails get your parent to let you have a rocking party you'll be the envy of your peers then and without a doubt the chic to hang with

Don't be afraid to be yourself, just ignore the kids in class most times kids behave like that because they want your attention, so in my book you're one of the cool kids.
