I have had a pretty rough high school experience so far, here is a bit of context, i am ending grade 10 this year and i have not had any solid friends, i got to a pretty small school (1k people) and everyone is super nerdy to the point where they basically don't talk or just about video games or the "cool kid" so to say, I am somewhere in the middle, but my gr 8 year i was more on the nerdy side and i think people still see me that way, I was pretty unlikable, and said lots of things I shouldn't have, this made me pretty unpopular. in my grade 9 year I changed, i was more interested in the "high school life" of hanging out with people instead of sitting in my basement, i started going to the gym, but nothing happened, the resentment was still there. what is weird is on my sports team, there is one of the more popular kids and while we will talk in practice and get along in games but back at school or outside of sports he would not talk to me, i suggested going to that mall, and doing something but he put me off, grade 10 i was everybody acquaintance, i would talk to people, but nobody would invite me to anything, I thought i was making friends but nobody would hang out with me outside of school time. the popular kid would tell me about all of the friends and parties he would go to, never inviting me or wanting to do anything except talk during sports
im ending this year for the third year in a row with no friends, my parents think im lazy and just don't try hard enough, i don't know how i can change, or if i should give up on school and look other places, please give advice
sorry about the unedited post i am in a hurry but just need some input i don't know if i can be with no friends for 2 more years
