Forget about making friends in high school. Not often do people stay friends after high school. REAL friends come along after high school.
Out of all my so called high school friends, i still have 1 (we've been friends for the past 8 years)
Why is it so hard to make friends in high school?
Majority of my lifelong friends are from college and work. So, just worry about what you should realistically worry about. Doing well in school and getting into a good college.
Because people are still immature and petty. They care more about there stupid popularity and not having people they can count on. Thankfully, I don't give a sh*t about that and I have people to count on.
