I just moved to a new high school as a junior. I've spent three days so far. What gets to me is lunch period. I spend lunch hour eating alone on the floor in front of everyone. I kinda feel them staring at me and it's kinda awkward when some familiar people ask me, "Hey dude, do you spend your time here everyday?" I don't want to admit it because I'm afraid of embarassment. I've finished all my assignments for today so I have nothing to do. I just sit there... and stare at people.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not anti-social but, however, I'm mildly introverted. I talk alot when I'm in class, just that I spend lunch alone. I want things to change, you know? Anyone, please leave some advice or comments and feedback or whatever.
Thanks to everyone (if anyone) who spends some of their time to share thoughts.

When people ask me, "Do you sit there everyday?", I get the feeling that if I say yes, they'll make unpleasant remarks.

From what I remember about High School (a long time ago), kids won't just invite you to join them. Maybe you can look for some of the kids from your classes at lunch, and introduce yourself. Tell them you are new in school, and see if they invite you to join them. I think that as long as you don't ask desperate you will find new friends in no time. Good luck!
P.S. I know it is hard to believe now, but you will look back on your high school years later in life, and realize how unimportant everything that you thought was life altering really was.

For the first couple of months when I started high school, and didn't know anyone, I would hang out in the library. It's a good place, no one talks to anyone, and it's quiet. You can read, surf the web, do your homework. After a few weeks, some clubs start up, and the meetings usually run during the lunch period (or after school). You can join those and meet people. Does your Gym open at lunch? The pool? There's lots of activities you can do alone. I was very shy when I was in high school, I even hung out in the washroom during lunch for a little while. Eventually, you'll start meeting people, make friends, and lunch period won't be so bad any longer.

You should tell the person that you do spend your days there. He may have some other places in mind for you. I don't think you should be embarassed about it. Why are you sitting on the floor in the first place. Ask some of the kids in your classes is they would mind you lunching with them. I know the lonely feeling! It is one of the worse feeling in life. Are you allowed to go home on your lunch hour? Ask one of your teachers if you can do something for him/her during lunch hour. Tell them what you are going through. Are you in sports or any other club. Ask some one in there to join you at lunch. Good Luck and You are in my prayers.

Well, when I first went 2 my school, i was new and at lunch i spent lunch all by my self. But in class i was talkative. Well one day before i went to lunch, i asked friends to sit with me. They decided they would. during lunch i found out alot of stuff about students that had alot in common. So my advice to u is before lunch, ask ur friends to sit with u at lunch.! Hope i helped! :)

At lunch try approaching someone you have a class with and asking if you can sit with him/her. Why are you waiting for someone to invite you? People your age are generally not comfortable with themselves enough to approach others but are usually open to being approached. Give it a shot. I met my best friend of the past 15 years by being brave enough to introduce myself. Good luck. Things will get better in time.
