i'm a freshman in high school. it's been a couple of months since school started and i haven't made a single friend. everyday during lunch i go to a secluded place. my class is doing this 'know about each other thing' where people speak aloud in class. one of the questions is 'what do you for lunch?' everyone is forced to participate and it's gonna be my turn. i'm very afraid. what should i do?

Say the truth. If you say something like, " You know it sucks being a freshman, right now for lunch I just hang out in the lunch room and eat by myself. Hey if anyone wants to join me sometime be my guest!" Sometimes being honest is the best thing. Maybe someone will say, hey why are you eating all alone? Come sit with us man! You never know!?

Just maybe you should give up your secluded place for a place where people hang.Their is always someone else looking for a friend.You may fell like your the only one out their without friends,but I'm sure your not.Go to the lunch area and look for someone else setting by themselves,and go sit beside them. Things will take off from their.At least give it a try.

I'm so sorry! I know how difficult that is! If you can, show some initiative. A lot of people really like that. Then you can stand up and give a beautiful story about how you used to eat lunch all alone until you met these wonderful friends. I think you have a lot of potential!=) If you want I'd love you to email me and say how it goes!

When I eat alone, I tend to read a book. when I was your age it was because I wasn't talking to too many people and it kept me from looking lonely. Now that I have people that talk to me, at me, and around me all day long, I think I do it to hide from them.
But...if you are reading something while you are eating lunch, couldn't you talk in class about what you were reading and why you liked it. You could avoid the whole them vs me thing and might find someone in class that has similar tastes. Just a thought.

you are what is called an introvert...you don't do company well...
the world won't end if you are honest and tell your class mates that you don't communicate well with others and don't really know how to make friends...you didn't really give enough information to suggest much else...good luck, they won't kill you and they won't eat you and they more than likely won't laugh at you, most people are copassionate and want to be friendly, even freshman year of high school (though, now that i think of it i didn't have many friends when i was that age, either...alot of my classmates lacked the maturity or intelligence to really be worth my time), but age changes things, and i've learned to accept people for the way they are...and my friends are still few, but they are good folks, it isn't the quantity of friends one has, it is the quality of friendship one develops over time that is of importance.
