I just transferred to this school only at the beginning of the school year from another place. I made really good friends, and had tons of fun for the 1st month. I felt like I actually fit in. I had friends in all classes, and I felt very comfortable. But then I they moved me up a grade. I started to feel uncomfortable and I now have fewer friends. I still have some classes with my old friends, but it's just not the same. I feel like a huge loner, and I'm sort of classified as one, too, because the people who talk to me are, in a way, loners too. I feel really sad because of this, and I don't know what to do. Any advice please? Thank you so much. :)

I think.. if the people who were your friends before.. were really your friends.. you woul still talk to them.... A friend is someone you talk to during and after school.... if the people you talked to before only talked to oyu at school.. then they were what we call.. "school friends"... soo..... I mean.. just ask some people to hang out.... If you lareayd feel like a loser... You have nothing to loose yno?.... People who hang out in crowds, usually are very insecure about themselves.. if your different.. and funny.. and just a fun person to be around.. people are going to want to hang out with you..... hHope that helps...

I know how you feel because I had this problem before myself. What you need to do is establish relationships with your friends outside of school. You guys should hang out when possible after school, that way you have a lot to talk about at school. Hang out together at lunch and stuff like that. Also, you could maybe talk to other people in your classes and make new friends. You seem like a really nice person, so making friends shouldn't be a problem for you. Just maybe try to be more outgoing and show people the real you.

I think from what you're saying, it's more of what you did than what they did. I think they still want to be your friends, but since you moved up a grade, you feel like you can't be a part of them anymore because you're in a different grade level. That might be something that's happening in your mind that you don't realize, but it could also be something that's very common at school--not having friends in different grade levels. I remember I didn't have friends in different grade levels until my freshman year of high school and through my sophomore year, but at this moment (my junior year), I feel like most of my friends are coming to be in my grade level. Try not looking at this barrier that separates you from your friends--after all, just because you're in different grades doesn't mean you're not the same age!

Sometimes moving up a grade isn't the right choice. I'm sure that you're very bright, but sometimes, we need to be around peers our own age. Would you consider moving back to the grade you were in? You're still smart either way. Talk to your parents and see if you can work something out. I believe that social skills are just as important as academic skills. We definitely need to balance the two. Good luck to you.

An education is for a lifetime..Some friends come and go!
Congrats on skipping a grade!
I would hope your old friends would stand by you. Then again, you have a chance to meet new friends too.
Best wishes!

Just talk to people and make conversation. Tell a few jokes. You'll make new friends in no time.
