Make new friends in high school when yours ditched you?
I sat alone at lunch cause my friends ditched me and sat with a girl who doesn't like me at all, and they'd ignore me, and tell one of them and they say rude words to me and they say I'm being rude and that's why I can't sit with their friends, when they actually were my friends, and then one of the other friends say that her and another girl call you mean behind my back.

@Puggielove,
Confront the girl in front of everyone lul [which is prolly a bad idea I guess omo] But you know, bullies get their energy by the fear their victims have so you shouldn't give in to them! Chin up, and greet a couple other kids! After a while, you could ask if you could eat lunch with them.
You should never, ever let yourself down. Ignore them too, don't stare at them while being lonely - it adds oil to the fire! I know the saying where people say "If they were your real friends yadadadada~" but in truth, they are your friends, just...a bit changed in a way you didn't notice :> If they gossip, just say "I can hear you!" or something - don't just let 'em get away with it! Them little buggers! I'd be surprised if she has more confidence to back talk to you anyway!
Don't back down once you move forth, it's like chess - no moving back, only forward - caught or to catch ovo [which is a saying I've never seen or heard before aha] xux Sylestia'll shower you in love! Feel free to let it all out, we'll be here for you! :>
Trust me, it'll take a WHOLE bucket of water off your shoulders once you say something to them! It'll make you feel a whole lot better and the more you confront them in private [with the occasion companion or two] it'd be much easier! I'll be honest - I've been a bully too, but y'know what? I realized that after the person told me and I took a day or two to realize I was wrong - that is, unless they bother me and pest me a whole lot o:

Be yourself.
If they don't appreciate you, don't worry about it. They aren't worth it.
You'll find others who do appreciate you.
And in the end, it's just school. You're there to mainly learn. I don't talk to a single person I went to school with. I made friends elsewhere.

@Puggielove,
I am gonna go with Krin on this one. Be yourself. You will get the best friends from showing who you are, not from being fake.
I only talk to one person I knew in high school. She's my best friend, but she was also the first person who ever gave me the chance to be who I wanted to be, not who everyone else wanted of me. I can go weeks without seeing or talking to her, and still know that she will be there for me if i need her, and that if she needs em she will come to me.
You can have a million friends, but when it comes down to it, the only one that really matters is the one who will stand by your side even after everyone else turns their backs. Don't worry about making lots of friends. Find someone you know you can rely on.
And don't worry if you don't find anybody right away. I didn't meet my best friend until over halfway through junior year/11th grade, and I had roommates in college who met their best friend at university. You have your entire life ahead of you to make super close friends. Just focus on becoming who you want to be, and when friends come, they come =) (And internet friends like all us here are great until then! =D )

@Puggielove, Agreed with Krin and Lost. This happened to me at primary school, (although the chick beat me up then stole all my friends, I was also blamed for the whole thing and left that horrible school. But not the point) You are who you are, if someone decides that they do not like you that is their problem. Don't ever try to change yourself to fit how people want you to be. As for those so called friends, I would put it behind me, if that's the way they treat you they are not worth your second thought. People eventually grow up and out of the 'dumba**' phase. Smile even when you feel sad, I know its tough but keep your chin up, life moves on and so will you. You will leave school and never have to see any of them again.
Maybe try talking to the other loners out there. You could group together and create an army that over runs the world, then what would those bullies say. Lol, ok not the best of plans, but there will be others out there that feel the same way as you, many that just don't have the confidence to go up to another and say "Hi".
The other thing I did (because I was really shy, and struggled to make friends when I changed schools) was I found something I enjoyed doing and from that made friends (drama, volleyball).
The main thing is to never let anyone make you feel as though you are worth less than them (because you know that the only reason a bully becomes a bully is because they are, in fact, insecure about themselves and need to hurt others to make themselves feel better).
All the best of luck.

Yup, these guys know what's up. To be honest, I only made a couple friends in my last two years of high school, and other than that I was a total loner. I thought I was gonna be that way my whole life. Which was a totally crazy assumption, I've made some of the best friends of my life through my jobs and the internet!
Things get a LOT better after high school though, trust me. People grow up and learn to be more honest, open, and compassionate. I'm sorry those girls are being so unfair to you, and I'm sorry people you trusted turned around on you. Just be yourself, and be open-minded about who you talk to, hun.
Good luck with all this! My inbox is open if you wanna chat about it! :)

Yea school sux, College is better, you'll even find nerds like us. XD life after highschool is wonderful, just sing the "forget you" song at them and look forward to college. Those who you won't see at college are the losers who don't grow up, trust me I still see them at work, since I work in the town I went to highschool in. Otherwise most people do grow up, and they tend to be much more nice, It's almost shocking.
I myself talk to very few people from highschool, or at least am still good friends with them.
