I think high school is the time when friendships start to get complicated. There are factors that affect whether people want to be friends with each other or not, such as how competitive you are as an individual e.g. grades, appearance, cultural/family background, sportiness, etc. This might sound harsh but the world beyond school is even harsher. But first of all, don't discriminate anyone based on 'outside' qualities.
However, to begin with, you could approach that classmate you always sit next to, or the one you join the same club with... by saying "Hi (their name). How's going?" with a smile. Ask back if you're asked by someone. It shows that you care too. Also, don't be afraid to offer help to someone in need. Be polite and speak carefully. You must consider others' feelings before you say something to them. Let the friendship develop gradually.
Just be open minded. Although discriminations could exist, don't be scared to socialize with anyone. All you gain is a collection of experiences interacting with different people. Like anything else, the more you practice the better.
Even if you have tried your best and you still have no friends, don't panic. Don't feel unworthy. High school is only a very short period in your life, it will pass and many kinds of people will come into your life later. I am sure there are qualities in you that people would appreciate. Believe that.
Thanks:) that really does help. One of my goals for this upcoming year is just o communicate more. My opinion. Who I am. Thank you for spending the time to give me ur insights!
