High school sucks.

I’m a sophomore this year and I’ve found myself pretty lonely. I didn’t like the direction I was going at the end of last year, so I started off fresh this year. In the beginning of the year, I didn’t have much friends (1 or 2 maybe) So I took my mom’s advice and made friends around me.
Unfortunately, those friends are all older than me so they don’t have any classes with me, and are not in my lunch. At lunch, I sit with people who ignore me. I am in a weird lunch, where I don’t know anyone because they are all seniors and arrogant- I’m not exadurating either.
I’m kinda quiet, I mean, I usually won’t start up a random conversation, but people do like me when I talk to them. I’m pretty nice, I’m not a loser at all. I’m not ugly, 10 or 12 people said I can be a model, even though I’m a normal weight. I have a guy that is soon to be my boyfriend, not in any of my classes though.
So what do I do about lunch? I can stand being alone, just not in front of a lot of people. It’s a very very small town in Ohio, 95% of the people in my school are racist and conservative. I can’t stand it, but I have to for 2 1/2 more years.

Arrogant people don’t mind humble people. They usually only fight with other people who are also arrogant.
Just treat them like you want to be treated. If you want someone to start up a conversation with you, think, “It’s just as hard for them to talk to me as it is for me to talk to them.” and start up a conversation with them. Friendliness must start somewhere.
If people are racist it’s usually because they don’t know anyone well of that race. You can change that. It is always hard to do something different and it is always easy to stick with the familiar and the easy way of doing things.
Martin Luther King Jr. used to play with white kids in the sandbox when they were all toddlers. That is part of how he was able to see all of us as the same.

Yup. High school sucks.

Find someone else who’s alone and sit with them. That way you are unlikely to be rejected.
