I just came to live with my dad. New state, new town, new school, etc. It's been hard for me. A month has passed I haven't made a single friend yet. I took classes that were way too hard for me and the work from these classes is just piling up. No one seems to accept me here. All the teachers are moody b****es, especially my gym teacher. I've really started to like a guy in my last period class but he doesn't seem to like me back. He has done things to make me think he liked me back, but I've watched for signs and they're not there. I'm also feeling very insecure about my appearance. I have been breaking out with pimples left and right. I can't wear makeup to school because of this. I don't have many clothes so I have to keep repeating outfits. I know that sounds silly but in high school, it is not a good thing when someone wears the same shirt or pants every week. On top of all this, I'm missing home. I miss my mom, my old town, and my friends.

So what do I do? Please.. if you're gonna answer, give me more than a few words.
 
I don't know your circumstance but maybe moving back with your mom is a good option. If that is not I would just say to wait it out. I know that all those things seem important now but trust me in a few years none of it will matter. Just focus on your school work and everything else will fall into place.
 
I know that stress can cause pimples, so let's start there. if you find a way to lower your stress you may not break out as much and you can wear your makeup and be confident about how you look.

maybe a stress relieving bath at night would help...sounds silly but it might help..or relaxing music too.

at school just try to be friendly. if you want to make good friends, then these people wont care if you wear the same jeans over and over. you're new so you might have to start the conversations. just be nice, funny and friendly. you have to put yourself out there. if you keep yourself cooped up youll never make friends! and you seem nice enough!

good luck~!
i have aim if you want to talk too...or myspace!

Why have you moved? Moving is stressful for adults..never mind high school teens. IS there anyway you could go back? It's ok to give up on SOME things you know. Have you talked to your parents about clothes? If there's no way to get them to buy you new ones then what about a job? It might help you meet others your age. I think the first thing you need to do is to tell your Mom or Dad how you are feeling..I am a Mother and would HATE my daughter to feel like you are and not tell me...things are so easily fixed...write it all down in a letter. It will get better soon...this is a hard time for 99% of kids.
 
hmmm
thats a very difficult situation
maybe you could join a sport or club
visit your mom and all of your friends
adn really do try to make a couple of friends
 
well about the pimples... if you normally dont break out then it is probably just the stress of making new friends so just try to relax and not worry so much, about friends...have you joined anything like track or volleyball or choir or anything you might find similar interests with other people? also i am 22... so just out of high school and trust me once you graduate you will find yourself with a totally new group and not worrying as much about high school friends anyways, it might seem hard at the time but seriously concentrate on your school work more than anything because that is what will matter the rest of your life, not whether or not you had the most friends, but good luck and just seem like a friendly person, smile a lot and you will meet someone
 
I feel for you. High School can be very stressful. I think if you stopped worrying about what you look like and what you wore you would be much more delightful to hang out with. Even if you have to wear the same cloths change up your hair or accessories sometimes that makes all the difference. Just be patient it will take time to make new friends. Maybe you can join a club, or sport and start hanging out with those kids. I hope everything works out. Have self confidence and I know it will make all the difference.
 
awww dont worry! i started college as well but making friends is actually easy. just be very freindly and look for girls that has clothing same as your style that way you guys will have something in common and i made friends by doing group work in school and introduce yourself and then start sitting by them and then you get their numbers and then you actually have to plan things to do with them do this 3 times you got yourself a friend. and about that boy he probably likes you back just start tlaking to him more and show him that you like him so he'll ask you out!! dontworry and be happy :) :)
 
Ask your dad or your mom for advice. Ask your dad to get you new clothes. Try toothpaste at night for those pimple, put a dab on the pimple at night it will dry up the pimple. Try talking to people. Confidence is noticed to people. It has only been a month. It takes time to adjust to a new environment. Don't worry you will be just fine. Keep your head held high.
 
i think the reason u are having an outbreak of spots is because you are under lots of stress. i no its hard but you need to try and relax, when your under stress people can kind of pick up on it and tend to think ur a bit weird or something.

you need to relax, take a day for your self, make your self feel good by just doing the little things it can have a real good affect.

have a relaxing bath, fill it with bubbles and just relax, forget about eveything thats going on in your life and concentrat on your well being. You will make friends, it just takes time, be open minded and be happy, smile and try and chat with other people to get to no them.

i dont no your situation but just ringing your mum can help ring her daily and even arrange a day out or something this will give u sumthin to look forward to and put u in a better state of mind!

hope u start to feel a bit better soon,
