Okay, Im asking for some help on how to make friends.
I lived in baltimore all my life. But when i was 14ish I moved to a place called belair. (Liked an hour and a half away from there.)
I smoked alot of weed, ALOT. And now I feel like I cant socialize to people anymore. All my life I always kinda shared my friends friends. And people liked me for who I was and I didnt worry about anything....So the summer after 9th grade I moved to 3 different places. And 2 days into my sophmore year I start at a new school. Where I know no one. Not one person. Every weekend I would go over my old friends house and get high and have fun with him. Kinda like a vacation from feeling like a loser at my school. I sat at lunch by myself. (also got 4 different lunches which is bullshit lol)I didnt talk to people, idk why. I never was really shy as long as I was with my friends. But now, geez, im like a fuccin ghost! So another year goes and it was basically the same. Every weekend get high. And stay quite in school. I sat with people at lunch though finally. Only 2 lunches out of 4 though. The other 2 I just would eat and walk around the school. So to add with losing all my friends and my house. My brother goes to prison for a crime he didnt do.Please trust me when I tell you he didnt do it. The only reason he is the is because the other suspect who really did it snitched and lied trying to save his ass. My brother didnt snitch and sat at a jail for 6 months until he was bailed out. My brothers record is clean. Nothing on it. When the other boy who witnesses said in report saw him do it had a beef with the kid who got shot, and he got arrested twice after being bailed out for that with a 1st degree assualt charge and sex offendor. My brothers facing 15 years over that bullshit. And alot of shit went on. He had a boy who a girl he recently married and lost him from a misscarriage. The judge didnt even let him go to his memorial service. Well during my last 2 years he was my bestfriend. We hung out almost every day. Played ps3,smoked weed,talk. He was the only one who seemed to care and he gets taken from me for that. Now im left with no one except my parents and old friends that are just awkward to talk to now.
I quit smoking weed, which is hard because its the summer. So now im an alcoholic lol. But can someone help me make friends in a school that thinks of me as the quite kid. Its not like anyone talks about me to my face because I havent fought yet lol, But its my senior year and I want to make new friends and talk more in school and just have fun again. Thx if you read all of this...I kinda went off lol. Peace!

Getting high and drunk is just temporarily taking you away from the pain you're feeling. You should stop, it's more trouble than it's worth (of course, drinking every now and then is cool), but you don't want to break the law and go to prison. You have a choice, your brother didn't.

Just think, if you're friends with one person, you're more likely to meet his friends, and therefore get more friends as time comes. Who do you sit with in class? 'cause you should try talking to them...
