Default I need to completely change my life! Can someone help?!

I am 14 and a freshman in highschool. Middle school was very bad for me. I was the most unpopular kid in the school with 0 friends and I never said anything and sat alone at lunch.

At the end of 8th I just got lucky and started hanging out with "cooler" kids because they started to sell me weed and smoke it with me. Then I got addicted to marijuana and started hanging out with them everyday to smoke with them. Then I got to know them and I got to sit at their table at lunch.

The problem with this is I'm meant meant to be a "popular" kid. I am socially awkward and shy. I am mute in all my classes at school. But one good thing about me is I'm very good-looking. But I feel fucking retarded because I get no girls!! No girls talk to me! Noone ever notices me. Except the girls at my lunch table. All my classes have the same kids in them because I'm in some program thing and theres only this one girl in my classes who says hi to me alot and shes black.

and im pretty sure im good looking because 5 different girls said i'm hot in the past months but those are only girls who are complete strangers I see like in restaurants or on the street. but girls never notice me and I'm just too shy and stupid to talk to them. I fucking hate being me because I'm so anti-social and I fucking hate it!!!!

HOW DO I CHANGE MY LIFE!!!!!!!!!!

start talking to ppl. One new person a day. Try talking to ppl in different social circles if possible and both genders. Start simple at first. Ppl u feel will be easy to talk to.

Smoking weed is generally not an 'attractive quality'. But, my personal opinions aside, learn to be social, learn to talk and be open while at school and engage with people.

Its hard, but its doable. And you'll be a happier person because of it.

Well, you can start by stopping the weed. You're paying a high social price for basically nothing. As you see, being burnt doesn't improve your attractiveness to girls.

try to be more confident. Just be you. be yourself --don't care things[that make you feel bad] too much. you're good-looking,that's the advantage. be more confident and you'll be less shy.
don't care much about good -looking. [cause you're always good-looking]

i what everyone here says is right you need to be confident and just be you and everyone is good lucking in there own way and you should stop the weed sounds like it could be making you a little depressed as the drug is a depressant not a high

Think about what makes others appeal to certain people. Usually the most popular people are the most experienced, the most interesting, the funniest, and share something in common with their friends. So I'd work on improving those sorts of attributes. For example, if you hear a group talking about anime (which you apparently seem to like), walk up to them and introduce yourself and let them know that you like anime too.

It also helps to think of everyone as you're equal, 'cause it's true and you have no reason to be intimidated. You're in high school, and everyone attending is there for the same reason; to learn, to get a decent job and to broaden the possibilities of their future.

I'm a bit antisocial as well, but not terribly, and if I need to/want to, I'll talk to someone. I don't worry about their social status, if they're popular or not. I've taught myself not to be frightened by the invisible, non-existent wall of superiority that seems to surround populars.

Smoking weed does not help or improve social awkwardness, so give it up. The people you smoke it with will move off. They're not friends anyway, encouraging you smoke the stuff which is illegal. And expensive.

You could join a local youth club. Help you interact with people. Some churches have a youth club, so are properly run by responsible adults. There'll be girls there, too.
