If a clique doesn't like you, look for another group of people to be friends with. It's totally up to you who your friends are in middle school. Don't worry about what the clique thinks — just focus on finding friends who like you for who you are.

Try joining an after-school club that you're interested in. You'll meet lots of other people that share the same interests as you. Over time you'll get to know them better and even become good friends!

What if you don't have a cell phone but they do?

Write their number on a piece of paper and ask your parent or older sibling if you can borrow their phone. If you have a computer, you could also try instant messaging them instead of texting.

Not everyone will want to be your friend immediately, but that's okay! If you don't make friends with the first person you talk to, just try chatting with someone else the next day.

Question

What if I don’t really get invited to events?

Ruby

Top Answerer

Don't take it personally, it is very likely no one was trying to exclude you. You can make opportunities for yourself. For example, look into what events are on, such as school discos, fairs, etc., take part in clubs, outside or inside of school, volunteer, or anything else that appeals to you. This gives you the opportunity to meet new people, as well as have fun.
