My situation exactly! I know like no one my age, or who at least knows the same things I do. They are either my age and I never see them cause they're schooled, or homeschooled, not my age, (usually younger) and I can't talk about the same things with them. :(

What's your favorite book? (I've already told you my favorite series. =))) 

Peep! Peep!!

Same! I don't have many friends, and can't even see them that much because . . . eh, I've already told the reason too many times. 

Anyhow, maybe you should be the one to strike up the conversation! Maybe they're just shy.

Some people think I'm crazy and terrible for wishing this, but sometimes I wish I could go to public school.

Sometimes. 

Hrm...well strictly speaking, someone doesn't have to be the same age or gender or even like the same things as you do to be a friend. 

l have an older friend of mine, he's five years older than me, but l don't really get to talk to him much because he lives across the country and is going to college soon.......

Anyways, to answer your question, l do in fact have a hard time making friends, mostly because l'm not very friendly or open with people. But l'm honestly fine with that, l don't want a best friend, and l don't feel the need in my life for a friend. It's not that l'm mean, it's simply that l'm not activly seeking out someone to talk to. (Loner forever, eh?)

So...if you're having problems finding "normal" people, look for a friend in anyone and everyone. People have the most amazing stories and personalities beyond that seemingly normal face. If there's something that l've learned over the years, it's that people are far beyond how they act and what they like.

I'm homeschooled, but I've met plenty of people. I'll tell you how.

1) A great idea is to go to a youth group. Find a local one, and check it out! Of course it's summer now, but do some research next time the school year rolls around. There is plenty of personality variety.

2) Find some homeschool groups. Or you could even start your own! Like a nature group, where you could hike and learn stuff. Or a book club at your local library! Yes, it's possible!

3) Just get out more. Explore your neighborhood. Bike, walk, all sorts of stuff.

4) If you can't do any of those things, try to search up local events for kids your age!

I also go to church, which is where most of my friends reside.

Also go say hi to people. Do it. Trust me. 

Amen, Tex, Amen! I have discovered that it is virtuially fruitless to attempt to make friends with most other gals my age. 

I get along much better with sensible guys. Which unforuntely, there aren't many of them. And most guys don't want to be friends with me. 

So, that leaves me with ElmoDaisy, Cron, and and the twins. I can't get the twins to come on the CB. Wahh ...

The reason why? Partly because they do not know how to use a computer, and partly because they are paranoid about using social media. (This shows how awesome they are.)

And they would fit right in! I recently introduced them to Roleplay. They love Star Wars, LoTR, Ranger's Apprentice, Wings of Fire, Harry Potter, the whole kabodle.

And, whenever I mention the CB around them, then they start a ten minute lecture about the evils of social media, followed directly after with a five minute debate in which I am most likely to lose.

Yup, they are my closest friends aside from Cron. (Think Fred and George, minus the pranks.)

I am the best non-teenage teenager around here. I mostly don't hang out with girls because I hate clothes, make-up, shopping, and boys. They don't talk about anything else. It's SO annoying!

Me: *talking about books and stuff

Them: *blink

Me: *rolls eyes

Them: continuing conversation about hair 

Yeah, I moved a while ago too. I was in the exact same situation (I am homeschooled too), so I can empathize. Just keep trying to talk to people, introduce them to books and stuff. It will get better. I have lots of friends now. And remember, you always have the CB :)

I will be your friend! I'm technically not a teen yet (I'm only 12), but most people would say I have the maturity of one. I can't really help you with meeting/connecting with other people, because all of my friends I either met when I was really young, or they made the first move to talk to me. Like, I can't even say hi to people without freaking out, so I'm no help in that area. But, if you ever need anyone to talk to, I'm here!

I kind of have split personalties, so it's sometimes hard for my friends to keep up with me. I pretty much like everything! All types of music (There really isn't any music I don't like except 70s music) , all types of art, all sports(except running!), girly things like hair and boys, and tomboy things like sports. Also, all books, all types of writing, and pretty much every type of movie/play/tv show. So, I have things in common with a lot of people. My mood and what I talk about depends on what the people around me are like. So, maybe just keep looking? I'm sure you'll find a bookish friend eventually.

P.S. I am definitely not normal, Sorry! :)
