Yes I like making new friends but I am quite selective. Most of my friends are older than me as I find the other kids my age too immature and a lot of the local kids who are my age are as*holes.

Okay, I laughed pretty hard when I read that. That would be my reasoning, too, if I were still 11.

Glad I could make you laugh, though it wasn't intentional. What is your reasoning now?

I'm 14 now, and have always cared. When I was a 1year old, I would run up-to people my own age, and try to be their friend.

My buddies are high priority in my life! :) I don't know how I'd go on if I didn't have any friends.

I'm thirteen and I feel the same way. Most of my good friends are 1-5 years older than me. In summer, I'm with my grandmother, in a scientific research community. If you think scientists are interesting people, then try hanging out with their teenage children sometime. I made more friends in my first summer attempting to socialize there than in the rest of my life combined. It is really cool to find a place where nerds are normal. In the winter, all the people are boring and normal, or total jerks. I don't have very many friends in my town. It ceased to be important to me a while back.

That sounds really cool. It would be nice to be amongst more nerds rather than feeling my IQ being constantly diminished by the neanderthals in my class.

This is basically me. I like making friends, but not with someone who's just way too immature. Usually making friends though isn't entirely important to me. As long as I'm not a complete loner, I won't mind having only 2 or 3 friends.

I know when I was younger I wanted to make new friends. I was never able to join a conversation properly. I just got weird looks when I tried. I gave up on that and stayed with existing friends instead. I no longer wish to be friends with my classmates as they gossip about me and I don't like most of them. I also realized I can handle two real life friends at most. I made friends with a kid in a younger grade this year, she is nice. I hope this post does not demotivate anyone. There is advice and surely not everyone is a jerk so there should be friends out there somewhere. Maybe taking any chance to join a group that has your interest, you will already have stuff in common with people there.

I care but i don't have any true friends at school :(
But still with old friends from old schools yes i do care

Friends are very important to have and don't worry if you don't have any friends right now because hopefully we will in the future :)

You need to find someone that

1. You feel comfortable with
2. Have some of the same interests with
3. Treats you nicely
4. Is there for you when you need them
5. Respects you for who you are
6. Never puts you down
7. would never physically or mentally hurt you
BUT REMEMBER WE NEED TO DO THIS TOO TO BE A GOOD FRIEND :D
