this prob sounds sad but i left school early and no friends kept in touch. so i really lost them all.
now i have two children and really feel lonely and isolated. i have tried going out meeting new people at baby groups and drop-ins but its knocked my confidence that no one is talking to me and ive been going to them for while now.
i dont want to go on chat rooms looking for friendship but another website i can go on to look for friends in my area. im just a normal 19 year old with a lot of responsibility.
i have no family support either so i am literally on my own.

I know exactly how you feel. I am way older than you but since living in UK have been friendless. Does not really worry me much i am a loner but makes friends very easy. I talk to everyone whether they feel like it or not and that way getting home from my walks with my dogs i feel i have had enough of talking. It is hard when you feel sad and have nobody to confide in but you get used to it. I feel for you as you are so young and wish you all the joy in the world. Take care and when you feel very very lonely just come onto Questions and Answers and you will see loads of people here who are obviously lonely or they would not be here. MMMMM.:)))

Hiya, I know how you feel I have very little contact with my friends now (my own fault coz I spent most of my time with my boyf), dont be afraid to start conversations with people at the baby group, they may think you dont want them to approach you if you have come across as a bit stand off-ish because you dont have much confidence, have you got any hobbies or interest? Try and go to groups where you share the same interests so you know you will have something in common with them.

It seems a sad and difficult situation you are in. I don't know how limited you are with having the 2 children, but are there any hobbies or interests you would like to take up or maybe a nightschool course. I would suggest you don't do these things with an intention of meeting people, but I have found that you just naturally aquire friends with similar interests this way.

Firstly don't stress abt getting a friend, people will see it, thats probably the reason why they are not talking to you. In order to get a friend , u mus be a friend as well. Be friendly and talk to people nicely but don't let anyone take advantage of you. Don't go out to look for friendship, cause they wont come. Be yourself and love yourself and people will love u as well. Trat yourself with respect and people will do the same and you will get good friends. Stop pressuring yourself, have fun with ur children and friendship will follow

I'm sorry to hear that. Everyone needs someone to hang out with. Especially if you have no emotional support. Try going to places where there are people with the same interest as you, like bookstores or museum. Strike up a conversation with an interesting looking person. Ask them questions about themselves. If anything, you can play the "I'm new in town" card and see where it takes you. There really are nice people out there.

I'm really sorry to hear that. On Yahoo Answers you will make lots of friends, try Myspace as well, you can always start an account and make friends like that...or online comunities for mums?
Don't worry, we all go through similar phases, its learning how to step out of them that really helps

What about neighbors with children? You inviting them over- the kids can have have a play date and you can chat and get to know your neighbors.

first, appreciate yourselve with or without afriend. see the friends you have in your kids. and see the nice person in you.
dont be so lenient of having friends. try and be a nice cheerful everyday person who smiles always. itll help you feel great about yourself and attract nice people to you.
dont be too eager to hook up with any potential friend as there are as many nice persons are there are not too nice people.
goodluck!!!!!!!!
