Of course I would feel guilty and sorry that my child was in that psition but sometimes parents have to make decisions that our children dont understand. Maybe you can look at joining some afterschool activities to help meet other kids. Good luck honey.

Yes, but putting your parent on a guilt trip is not going to fix the fact that you moved. I am sure that your parents had good reasons. You need to take a step and start talking to these people, and if they want talk to you start talking to a counselor and get her to help you understand some of these people around here. Part of getting a relationship started is someone making the first step.
I know it is hard living in a new place. I remember when I moved from a small town to a big city I had major culture shock. It was not easy in the least, it took me a while to make friends, but I was the one that had to start talking. So give it a try, and if you have already tried to take the first step then again, go see a school counselor, I am sure they will be glad to help, or talk to a teacher you might like.

No I would not feel guilty, I would feel concerned. At 16 you should be more able to adapt and make friends. The world does not work to make life easy for you. Do you have an attitude problem? Is that why you haven't made friends? I know that I have three boys and all of them talk to people and make friends so easily, so why can't you? Don't put the blame on the school and the kids, after a year there you should be able to do better than lay it off on someone/something else.

Maybe, but I would also wonder why my child is not making a effort to make new friends. Also how far are you from your old town and school. You can always still talk to your old friends, even if they are far away you have email and IM.

You can't totally blame your parents if you don't have friends at school.You must try to make an honest effort to make new friends. Your parents can't make friends for you, only you can do that.Check out the afterschool activities, you might be surprized and find a new friend. Maybe you are sending out body language that makes people avoid you.School is your domain, explore it.

Maybe. Have you actually told your parents how you feel? Are you involved in any after school activities, if not, now is the time, with college applications in the near future.
