I have always been friends with everyone, and everybody liked me in school. I think it's because I have been in the same school since kindergarten. But now that I have moved and know nobody in my new school, I cannot make new friends - I am too shy. Deep inside it hurts me, because I see everybody hanging out in their groups and having fun and I am the outcast. For example, when we make groups in classes, I am the last one to be picked. When there's a partner-project, I never have anyone to work with. I don't know what's wrong with me I need some advice in making new friends cause I'm freaking out. When I talk to my friends from my other school, they ask me if I have forgotten about them because of the new friends I supposedly have. But what they don't know is that I wish I had never moved. My self esteem is on the floor and I cry for help in making friends everyday. Sometimes I just wish I wasn't alive at all, because I can't stand seeing myself walking alone in hallways, and end up doing nothing but homework in the weekends. I just wish there was some other girl who felt like me and wanted to hang together or something. - Danielle, 15, New Jersey

"Hey, Danielle!" I suggest joining some clubs after school to get to know new people with similar interests. You are not alone; there are plenty of teenage girls that feel the same way as you do! Everything will be fine; it will just take a little time.

Never ever think that your life isn't worth living. You can and will change the world just by being who you are and you will find plenty of people who like you for who you are.

Never change yourself to fit in, you are fine the way you are! Eventually everything will be okay. As for your old friends, make a concerted effort to meet up with them and phone them about once a week; I'm sure they miss you. Remember crying isn't going to help; be confident and others will find that your personality and friendship is a very valuable thing to have.
