Making Friends
I feel really alone lately. School is starting soon and I don't think it will go well. Last year I acted different just so people would like me. Now I tried to act like myself and I can't find any friends at all. I liked my old friends... But now it seems like they don't like me. All I do is sit on the computer trying to hangout with someone. No one does though. How can I make friends and not feel so alone.

With school starting soon don't you think that the activities that come with school will be starting as well?  It's time to get off the computer and start making plans with people. Make a phone call. Enjoy the socials, the games and other activities that start your years.  Ask one person to go with you if you can.  Meet there if possible. 

You should act like yourself.  Be yourself and don't try to be somebody you are not.  It always backfires. People will like you for who you really are.    Let yourself shine because you are an amazing person.  You should tell yourself that every morning.  It feels good!

When you go into a situation thinking it is not going to work out, be fun, or a good year, it probably won't because you have already doomed it to be.  Try thinking positively about this next year.  Open yourself up to new things that you are comfortable with. You may see some changes. 

Go to the website and check out the journaling pages.  They might be able to help you , especially the "What About Me" page.  It's pretty cool.  Have fun with it. 

Thanks for reaching out.  It is so great that you opened up and expressed yourself.  That is a really healthy way to cope.  Good job.

Take care,
