so I will start by saying i really appreciate this website. I go to school, i just moved to a new school not so recently, and i am having trouble finding a friend. I have friends but they just leave me behind because i don't talk that much.so i am always seen walking alone, even one of my juniors stopped me and asked if we could be friends i said yes but i don't see her all the time because the is in a lower class than me.in my school we have drama 3 times every week, I don't really participate that much because i always think people will judge me, i am really good at acting but i am really shy and insecure. So there is this other girl who is also new and every one knows her she has lots of friends and when i think about it makes me feel down it it brings down my confidence even more. Like maybe i am not good enough or i am not pretty enough. The reason why i am not really that outgoing and engaging is because i just moved from Africa to London and i have never been in s white people school so i was really scared and i am not used to change. Same goes for my life at home my mom is really judgy, because i am overweight and too tall for my age she always insults my when i don't like get my work done the way she wants and obviously she is older and knows better she always wants me to do stuff the way she would it ,and it really scares me which pretty much affects my life in general. i really need a hug i am tearing up writing this. I am getting more depressed daily. in general i am a really nice person but most people don't see that. I would really appreciate your response thank you very much or this website it really helps a ton .
Thanks.

i'm virtually hugging you :) i'm sorry you're going through that, that's really tough. Moving from Africa to London is such a huge change, that must be hard to be in such a different place. Don't let your mom and the people at your school bring you down. You sound really nice and I'm sorry the people around you don't see that. I'm very shy and quiet and I have trouble making friends too, it's tough. If you see someone with a shared interest, try starting a casual conversation with them about it. I only have a couple friends but I became friends with them because I noticed they were interested in the same things I was and I tried talking to them about our shared interest. It was hard but we became friends. I know it's really tough to see people around you easily making friends and being well-liked and wondering what's wrong with you, but the answer is that there is nothing wrong with you. The people around you just can't see that
