Default Because of my friends I have no social life

Basically I'm 15 and I live in the U.K. In my GCSE's I'm basically predicted all A/* but I go to an all boys school. As well as that it's basically been make friends in Yr. 7 keep those friends the whole way through school. Well now that I'm in Yr. 11 it's really annoying. Basically my friends are the sort of people who just stay at home ALL the time playing video games, and it's got to the point where it really annoys me. Because I go to an all boys school I can't meet any girls there, and all the other girls I talk to are friends with absolute dicks who are annoying to be around. If on the off chance I ever go to town with my friends it's literally just go out at 1pm go to game, go to gamestation be home for half 2. It's also reached the point now where school has become a tedious chore, go to school talk about video games all day (which I don't find that interesting) go home and do the same thing again. It's reaching the point where I can't be bothered going to school because it's getting annoying, despite the fact I'm doing well and it's too awkward to just go to town on my own because I'll see all the people that are insufferable dicks. I guess I just want some advice.

I basically spend all my time talking to people I don't know who live hundreds of miles away, but even talking to them I'm pretending to be someone I'm not

Thats a weird advice but ok!^^

Anyways to your question I understand that it must get really boring after some time.
You could talk with your friends about it and maybe they will understand or maybe they feel the same way, if you already know that they wont answer posetive things then u probably shouldnt tell them.
Another thing you could do is to join a club or something, just some activity you might like.
Or you could just start talking with other people at school but that might be a bit hard to do.

Haha, I know exactly how you feel. People I was friends with from about year 7 to 9 are pretty much what you described, however since year 9 I have spread out my friendship groups and now of our year I can comfortably hang out with 60% of them. Year 11 is a lot tougher though, as I made a fair few of my friends by messing around a bit in lessons, getting noticed by people generally "naughtier" than my old friends, but by now the majority of them I still talk to have mellowed a lot. My best general advice would be to just try and talk to other boys; i know you've tried it, but just ask if anyone's going into town that weekend and if it's cool for you to come too. I know it's difficult to make new friends, but if you really want it it'll soon happen. Best of luck!

For loads of bullshit reasons I'm not going to go into, that isn't an option. People in all boys schools can be very "bitchy" and once a lie spreads there's no way you can convince them it's not true... Well, only this year and the next two years of sixth form left >.<

awww hun that sucks

the best thing to do is to join as many clubs as possible, because then you can a least make friends with the same interests you may not think it will work but it will. i know this from personal experience

good luck babes

It sounds like it's time to make new friends.

It might be convenient to hang out with the guys from school, but if they're not into the things you are, that makes it tough. So, you'd need to cast your line in a different part of the pond.
