When I was in high school many years ago, I was popular and went to homecoming. I can tell you -- it is not that special.
As far as making friends, it is difficult when you are shy. Being nerdy should not be a problem, though. I was the nerdy math & good-grade guy and work with computers today, but still had lots of friends. Don't try to be close friends with the "popular"-shallow people. Surely, at your school there are enough nice people that will be your friends that you don't have to worry about the others.
To help you come out of your shyness, just try to say hi to people -- even people you don't know. Don't try to force a friendship. Try to learn a little about other people and their interests. You will find that there are other people that have your same interests. Smile a lot and be a fun person to be around. People really don't like to be around other people that are downers.

High school can be fun but it can also be a hotbed of adolescent insecurities which is sometimes why kids are ostracized, Kids can be extremely cruel at this age but it does pass for most of them. Homecoming isn't a big deal in H.S. but I did love homecoming Weekend in college and I bet you will too. College is much better, more exciting with people from different countries and cultures plus different areas of the country.Even if you don't fit in high school you have a much better chance in college.
But even in high school, you can find friends, Look for people with the same interests as you. Not the popular kids, they don't need you. The regular kids are struggling too and though you may not see it, many may feel alienated and alone as well. It's the age of big emotions and changes so adolescence isn't easy for anyone. If you recognize that fact, remain friendly and try to open up a little, it will get easier with each effort you make. Good luck to you.

I didn't go to homecoming OR prom... NO LOSS !!!
The biggest waste of money today for teens is PROM...(in my opinion) Do yourself a favor and DON'T go, and turn around and put that money in an IRA for yourself and watch your life get better and better due to not giving in to all the teen years spending hype! This would also pleasantly surprise your parents by starting to care about your financial future.
Soooooooooooo glad I didn't do prom, ball games OR homecoming !! Never went to a class reunion either and I hear all they do is talk bad about those who didn't go so why bother !!
aaaaaaaaaaaaaah life is good in the real adult world when you leave the morons behind!!

Homecoming is a huge waste of time. It's just seeing the same popular kids getting picked for the same popular kid awards. (homecoming queen/king) Seriously, don't worry about not fitting in or having friends. Dedicate yourself to your school work and highschool will be over before you know it and you'll be in college where the real fun starts!

you didnt miss anything. high school is not life. after you graduate its not going to matter what the popular kids thought of you.
