text: my best friend is my 3 year old sister.? i desperately need help making friends. i am 12 years old and i don't have any friends at school. i probably only had about 5 friends in my entire life, all which were the kids of my parents' friends. i am really lonely and wish i had someone to call and talk to whenever i'm having a problem. nobody at my school even notices me. you will grow out of this as you start to mature and grow into your self. you still dont know who you are yet. most 20 year olds dont know who they are yet or where they want to be in life. as time goes on and you start to determine which direction life is taking you, you will begin to make friends like you. give it some time. be asertive (probably not spelled right) introduce yourself to people make yourself known.
