I Need Someone to Have Fun With!

I'm the oldest kid in my family. I have a 9 year old brother and he plays baseball with my dad all the time. My 5 year old sister has tons of people in the neighborhood her age, and well me I feel like I'm invisible. I'm feeling lonely and left out. What should I do? - Katherine, 11, Columbia

"Hey, Katherine" Well, Katherine, you could get to know your mother. Maybe you two have something in common like your brother and your dad. I would try to find someone my age at school or in somewhere close and there is always the Internet. I know that you need to have friends near you, though. Ask your sister if any of her friends have sisters (or brothers) around your age. It can be hard to fit in but if you try hard there is always someone there to be your friend.

Just keep trying! Good Luck.

Mary, 12, Texas
