ADVICE! I am 16 and I feel really alone. It’s difficult to make meaningful friendships because I am homeschooled. I have not been homeschooled all my life but the friends I made in public school left the day I began homeschooling. (I guess they weren’t my real friends) I am a dancer and I attend weekly classes but I am merely acquaintances with the other dancers in my classes. When I ask other people how I can make friends they tell me to simply talk to the dancers in my dance class. (I do talk to them during class but our friendship doesn’t leave the dance studio. Trust me, I’ve tried.) Does anybody have any words of wisdom?
