ygpm Dezign 🙂

Though I've been out of HS for a few years, I did go through the same area schools that she is.

Most of the kids are sheep, you just have to know how to lead them. :evil:

I think my sister's a pretty girl...

So she's not really very attractive? In high school that's all that seems to matter.

Why dosn't she just try to talk to people? If she is a dork(how it sounds), other dorks aren't usually very picky about their friends.

Just tell her to talk to people.

PS - I don't mean to be harsh, but this is reality, and high school kids aren't exactly very mature.

All of you saying that "don't worry about friends" blah blah blah is retarded. i'm sorry but you need friends. being by yourself freaking sucks. i would always rather be with people then all by myself. even if i was walking around the halls without anyone it just felt weird. i truly feel sorry for the people that i saw that seemed to have no friends and were always by themselves. the few experiences i had when i was eating lunch by myself because my friends were either gone or there was some crazy schedule going on sucked. sitting by yourself...screw that. serisouly, its crap who just wants to sit by themselves and have no friends. i'd definately take friends over getting the best grades or scores or whatever.

 
hey man, high school isnt important, screw it if you dont make any friends. i made two close friends in high school, and one of them just recently sort of stabbed me in the back. so tell her not to put too much thought into it.

Yes.

Don't.

that's what I did, and I turned out fine.

Just because you couldn't figure out how to have fun with other people through high school doesn't mean its ok for other people to suffer and be bored :\

Look, popularity isn't important, but friends are. Some people are more loners than others, sure, but everyone needs at least one good friend, one person who they can turn to and relate to. That, and more friends can't hurt. As I posted earlier, I've basically had only one good friend for the past year. I wasn't miserable, no. But tonight I got invited to a party and asked to dinner, by two different people who I've never hung out with outside of class. Y'know what? I feel pretty good. It's nice when people want your company 🙂

(and if luvly reads this, I'm sure she'll accuse me of "tooting my own horn" again, but whatever, I'm trying to make a point).
 
i just moved to plano, just got out of high school (moved from TN) and i know how she feels. id be willing to lend an ear and a saturday here and there to help her out. it makes me feel good about myself to help out other people in need, whether it be physical or emotional, i am pretty dependable. if worst comes to worst, you can count on me to at least give it a try.
