Hi there,
I want know, if you ever had friends at school.
I didnt have any, so I grew up very alone.
My parents never sent me to kindergarden, so I couldnt make friends with the kids there.
At the basic school then the boys knocked me around in my first school break, this was really shitty! The teachers didnt anything, because my parents were Jehovas Witnesses, that was the reason too, why no one wanted to get friends with me.
Eight long years it got knocked down by classmates.
Now I am 18 years old and live with my boyfriend. Hes so nice and kind, so I feel like in heaven! *smile*

Did you have similar experiences?

Gee KikichiSensei

When I was in elementary school, I didn't make any friends 'cause I was afraid of them.............
As time went by, I was still felt I was alone even though there were a lot of classmates around me.........
Around 2nd grade, I became friends with a buddy of mine that's pretty cool and funny!
From there, I made friends little by little.........
In school (during classes), I don't talk much or not at all 'cause I got nothing to say to people..........
I'm very comfortable talking to friends of mine.........or anyone related to me....
Right now, I still feel this way.........well, I haven't changed much, but I don't care..
It's not all bad..........being alone.............but being alone for too long isn't good.....
I'm pretty friendly to everyone..........but I always think of myself as a shy guy...

I am very shy. too!
When I meet people I dont know, Im afraid to say something wrong. I have to know someone better for a good chat.
But I am always friendly to everyone! Thats impotant!

There are some people at my office, that dont have something better to do as rail at other workmates! I really hate that!

I had friends until we moved to a different town when I was 9 and after that I didn't have any friends until I'd left school. *sigh* Kids can be very cruel sometimes espically with kids who don't quite fit in.

It didn't help that I was painfully shy back then,(I'm still shy now but not nearly as bad) i was always afraid I'd say something wrong and they'd all laugh at me or something.

Oh my... I really feel sorry for all of you... I wish you all good luck...

sorry, I can't add to your experiences... I really have a lot of friends and I have always wanted to try being a loner... I wanted to know how it felt...

Anyway, again, GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL! and don't be shy, people are people and we can always make mistakes, but even with those mistakes, there will always be someone or some people who'll appreciate you for that... don't forget that ^_^

Sorry to hear about your experience. But at least you seem to have found someone who cares for you and I congratulate you on that.

I didn't get knocked down like you but neither did I make lasting friends either when I was in school. I never felt like joining the crowd so I guess that makes me a loner whether I liked it or not.

I only made few friends after I got out of school and all of them through anime but at least I now do have some friends.

i use 2 have frenz in my school ! untill 1 day my frenz betray me ! because she is popular every1 supported her ! while me unpopular get alone with myself ! because of her 1 popular girl ! kick me out from all my frenz ! yea i am now feeling all alone ! just happy that my high school just ended ! so i do not need 2 face d popular girl again !

I am so sorry about that rexyion!
I know how you feel! Same with me, a girl named "anne" seemed to be my best friend, but she only wanted me to buy her one thing after another, lying she is my best friend. I always supportet her and was happy, when she got a good mark! but then, there came another girl into our class, and she had richer parents than me, anne never gave me talk again, she ignored me compledly! I was so sad, I cryd 3 hours long and was alone again.

Nope, never had the problem... but was hated by some blondes because I'm too happy...

Hope it gets better for y'all! Even if you don't have a lot of friends, you still have some close friends who loves you unconditionally! ^__^

Tough story in my cas:
when I was in grade 4-8 at Elementary school I made friends with the well known girls. I think they are my friends but sometimes they think I'm not. I only knew this because of their actions. Sometimes they pretend to be friends but sometimes they exclude me. Well, I'm the opposite of shy. Sometimes being too outgoing could be a bad thing. Friends may think you're stupid or weird.
Now I'm in high school, with few of my friends, and I'm looking forward to find more.

I was bullied a lot in middle school (grades 6-8, or ages 12, 13 and 14), and no one did anything about it, so I had no friends. The staff at my school and my parents didn't listen to me when I complained about it, and it damn near killed me. Thankfully, that changed when I started high school in 9th grade, because I had more friends and I was in band.

I never had good friends at school, nobody who I can trust everytime I trusted someone, inmediately all school knew what I told to my friend, so I had badluck.

I always was the loner type, so I really wasn't friends with alot of poeple in school, which is also the case now. Some people tried to bully me because I wasn't "one of the guys", I didn't do various stupid shit they did for "fun", I just didn't find that funny at all. I was always treated like an adult in my family, and because of that I prefere to stick around with older people then me. Anyway I couldn't stand for that so I defended myself in every way I could. And that's the same now. I have some friends, I have some enemies and lots of poeple I don't know. Luckily I never had that serious problems with enemies, since I'm very tall for my age and definitely not skinny (but not fat either) and because of that they didn't dare to mess around with me using force. Words can also cut deep, but I had problems like that last 2 years in middle school. Now I'm in high school and everything is perfectly fine.

I am very happy, that so much people answered to my tread! I tried to find out, if iam the only one with these problems.
Please excuse my bad english!
At the moment Ive found a boyfriend. We are one year together now! I am really happy. He supports me best and makes me really happy! I hope we can marry some time!
This year we gonna make holidays in Turkey. (In July!) Im looking forward to it!
But at the same time Ive not found any true friends already. At work they taunt me because of nothing! What in school has endet (because I left school) continues at work! I hate it really.
Its hard enough to get up every morning and get to work. When you know, the people there will rail again it even gets more difficult.

Gee -KikichiSensei-

Since i move to my new school, I don't have any friends. They just didn't suit me. THey talked a lot and that's what made me uncomfortable! Alll they wanted is to stuck their nose in other's personal life.

Besides, all they talked is about the boys. About how they look... girlstuffs. That's just stupid, why not go out and play. I hate sitting in one place in about 1/2 hour. What's waste of time... No wonder why they grew fatter and fatter!

I didn't have friends in Primary School - not that I really wanted them there, since everyone was really bitchy. I just stayed away. I made a few lose friends later on in College/High School and now I'm at University and have quite a few.

Yeah I know this kind of bitchy girls. And they are awful.
A had some of them at my old school too, and they really always stayed hours long at the same place and railed at other girls.
All they could talk about was sex and boys. Nothing good... Thats why I always could talk more with boys. They talk about computer games and cars for example. thats better than these girls!

They looked nice but had no brain.

not that many, just a few close friends, no one else, not really a social type person, more anime watching, gaming ^^;;; and talking on the phone

well.. in my place I grew up with many children who older than me. So I don't go out often. When I go to primary school, I found that the other's act are childish... well that what I think in that age.... so I became a silent girl. But luckly now I manage to fit myself in .. *high school* I took that long....now I have many friends but goodfriend are rare to find..

I had a lot of friends in elementary school and middle school even though I was quite shy (still am). I guess I made friends by being one of the most athletic kids back then. I wasn't very outgoing, so other people generally initiated the friendship. I moved just before going to high school, and I didn't quite fit in with the "popular" crowd in that area. And I didn't want to join any of the sports teams there for various reasons, so I didn't have the athletic thing going for me anymore (I was still athletic, no one knew though). I still had several good friends, which is all I really care about. I actually prefer having fewer friends because I'm not all that social a person, and having a lot of friends gives you a lot of social obligations. It would be difficult to have no friends though, especially if you get picked on as well. I've never been picked on for any extended period of time... there was a group of kids in middle school that tried to pick on me, but it didn't really work out for them.

In my elementary school, I was teased a lot, and lost all my friends in the 3rd-4th grades. But I switched schools in 7th grade, and then I made lots of friends!

The thing is, I tend not to make "close" friends.

My shyness gets in the way of me making friends. Sure, back when I was in school
I had a few people to talk to, but I never really consitered them friends.
It also didn't help that most of the people in my class were generally a bunch
of jackasses.

I've always had friends at school, but most of them were kind of shallow friends and eventually they'd stab me in the back and ditch me. I used to be hurt, but now I don't care. I'm determiend to be myself and if my friends choose to betray me, then it's their fault, not mine. I've always tried to be nice because I know it's too easy to be mean, but that doesn't get reciprocated sometimes.

Although this may not stick to this topic so much, I would like to say that being lone is not so sad thing. It brings you quiet, concentration on your work, a sensible observation to the environment.
Also, I don't have a lot of friends. But I am not sad or disappointed.
I think the quantity of friends is not important.
The important thing is the quality of friends.
