Some people think being alone is a bad thing, but it could actually be a good thing!  A lot of people feel like they need to have friends to enjoy life more, or to just feel better about themselves and not to feel lonely all the time.  Well, in a lot of cases people, especially kids, could be spiteful sometimes and either they could hold you down or bring you up.

You don’t need friends to be “cool” or to feel included. If you want to be quiet in the classroom and mind your business do so! You don’t need to please anybody or try to talk more. That’s the mistake I made.

See, back when I was in 3rd grade I moved to a new school and I never knew how to make friends anymore, but when I did that, one friend that I made treated me horribly.  I’m not saying everybody is a bad person or would treat you horribly, it’s okay to have some friends on the side but don’t lose yourself or try to let anybody take advantage of you or make you do stuff you don’t want to do.

Don’t be a people pleaser. If you don’t feel comfortable with them talking to you in some type of way or treating you some type of way. stand your ground.

Tell a teacher or a parent please. Trust me,it’s better to be alone and independent,and that means ur free,you have the freedom to do whatever you want and you wont feel anything holding you back.

Unless you find the right friends that would support you,hold you accountable,be real with you,do not envy you,tell you how it is.One day you would find the person.

But being alone is perfectly normal. Being quiet is normal. You don’t owe anybody a conversation.

And it’s okay to talk to yourself. I always used to talk to myself and it always helped me because I feel like I’m the only one that could understand myself. Journalism or writing down how you feel could help. Writing,painting,Anything! As long as it’s not hurting anybody, do whatever makes you happy.

But if you are going to make friends just be careful who you talk to. Somebody could possibly do something sneaky to you. Just be careful what you do or say. And Pay close attention to their actions, mannerisms, and words that they say.

But other than that it’s okay and normal to be alone.that just makes you stronger,more free and more independent.
