So in that age group, try places like local shopping centers (usually ones that have movie theaters) there should usually be some youthful people there. Or try and use the friends you have to network and make new ones, ask them about parties that or get togethers that are going to happen and go with them.

Do some volunteer work or take up a sport with lots of people or join a running group. There may be info on Craigslist or your local paper.

Like I said, no towns, so, other than the mall, no shopping centers. And the people that are constantly at the mall aren’t really my type.
My only older cousin is a druggy, so I don’t trust the people he hangs out with either…
and what would volunteer work do? The ‘new recruit’ season for sports, groups, etc is over now. Plus there is a very few amount of those anyway… Doesn’t anybody know anything about Utah?
Like I thought, I’ve tried pretty much everything… Ugh, how annoying…

I had a friend who lived in Utah, they didn’t really like it so they moved back here in CA. I hear there isn’t much people or youthfulness in that place. Ill let you know if I think of something.

I mentioned volunteer work because it will help you meet people, even if it’s not exactly what you want to do, it will still get you out and interacting with others.

Advertise to start a band, whether or not you can play anything or sing.

An Unknown Location | 1 year, 4 months ago (28 minutes after post)

Oh? Well, do you have anything specific in mind? I’ve tried to do some volunteering around, but they don’t want me… I think I have to wait until I’m 15 or 16 before I can even volunteer…

Sorry, I should have been more specific. I have no real ‘type’ I’m kind of my own person. I don’t fit into any category…
But I mean, I don’t mind if they do, most of my friends are. I just don’t want to be hanging out with somebody where there class is their life. Like, all they do is talk about this or that… I want to know at least a little of what they are saying…

Wouldn’t they be expecting me to play or sing in a band? I play a bit of guitar, but probably not enough to be in a band…

But if you start your own band it doesn’t matter, just have fun. Hell many good bands rely on three cords and they do fine.

Hm, that may be a good idea, but how should I advertise that? Most people that play around here are already in some kind of band… And they are also more of the ‘heavy metal blow out your ears’ kind of thing. I appreciate the more calm, peaceful, relaxing type stuff, but I think I’m one of very few around here… Utah sucks…

in our area the healthiest way to meet other young people is to plan an activity. Watching movies, playing board games, outdoor games, camping, fishing, going for walks, camp fires, play musical instruments, teach each other new hobbies, tutor each other, discuss science/politics, etc. It is done on a zero budget. Usually they pitch in to help each other with rides (a complex task around here).

Once a year at most, they also plan a big event such as renting the local theater for a few hours and doing video games on the big screen. Everyone brings systems and games they have. The young people open it to the public and charge an admission but they always let everyone in…they won’t exclude someone because they are so poor they don’t have 2.00. Sometimes they’ll make food and sell it at the event…again…if someone is hungry they will be given food. They’ve always managed just enough to pay the cost of the theater.
Meeting others can be difficult but if you brainstorm with a few friends, maybe get parental support, you might be able to get something going on a regular basis.

Our area has a major drug/alcohol problem…meeting others who don’t drink is nearly impossible. In our area locals don’t like youth volunteers…the young people still come up with ways to volunteer but not with an agency…it is people helping people. Get a group together to help an elder resident who lives alone…etc. Don’t give up.

Wow, that sounds like a great place. Especially the part with “people helping people” That kind of thing has, and most likely never will happen around here.
Like I’ve said, Utah sucks, the people here all hate each other, and no one is usually willing to help.

Most don’t find our county to be a great place and want out of here as quickly as possible. I can relate to the hate…I’ve never seen so much in all my life and it saddens me.

People helping people is something each of us can do no matter where we are. It’s also a great way to meet others(and make the world a better place). If graffiti is a problem in your area you could organize your peers to be a first response team to cover the writing. Making cards to send to young people in children’s homes, writing letters of upliftment to send to places like Ronald McDonald house, calling to check on elderly residents who live alone. Start a rap group for you and your peers or a support system. There are many other ideas too. I can think of zillions. If you find you are serious about community service I can try brainstorming with you. I bet you could come up with ideas too. If you think of something, there may be others in your area who would be interested in forming a group to implement your project. Great way to socialize and meet others! Even a youth action group…just meet weekly (more or less its up to you) and discuss ways of improving your town or ways of creating activities.

The young people I work with have come to understand, the only way our community will improve is if they make this community what they want it to be. No easy task if you knew what type of attitude they are up against. They don’t want to be the ones who have to do the work although they realize if they don’t do it, no one else is going to. They work hard and little by little they are changing the area they live in. I also encourage them to think about one day becoming involved in local politics. When we started…there was nothing. Zilch. Many of the young people can tell you stories about how lonely they were…Most never had friends.

Out of curiosity, what is the population of your town and county?

Close to 90,000 people, now that sounds like a lot, I know, but they are mostly Senior citizens and small children. Even then the few teenagers here are very rarely outside, and could really care less about what happens with the community. If anybody even thought about making a teenager community service group, they would get laughed at in the face. Not exactly the most respectable thing to be helpful around here… I know that sounds ridiculous, but it’s true.
