I realise I have friends, but not best friends; I am never invited to parties, etc. I'm usually a happy girl, but this depresses me.

hello1 agony auntI was in the same sitaution as you was. I have no ideal why they don't invite you out, maybe they think your not in the drink scene and don't invite you? some people just don't, you may have to make more of an effort and ask them out. Things got better for me when I went to college, cut off from all my old 'freinds' and made new ones who went out with me! Just remember you won't be in this situation for ever.

On the b/f, really don't worry about that! I know at the monment it seems like your the only one not having a b/f but its cause your mates have 1, other girls in your school don't either. It really isn't a big deal, I promise you that.

Hey! - don't get depressed. No one can feel like little miss popular the whole time.

At least you have friends. You said yourself that you are liked by many, so why don't you take the lead. Try inviting some of your friends out to the cinema, to go shopping, round to your house, etc. so that they'll get to know you better.

Put more effort into turning friends into best friends and soon you'll have many best friends ... And don't worry about not having a boyfriend yet ... I haven't either! x

hi

im your age and it seems like all teenagers go through this sort of situation. You are doing great, you are well-liked, and sure of yourself. You dont follow the crowd like most people. The thing you have to ask yourself is do you really care about being in the popular crowd, having a boyfriend, ect? Life isnt about how many calls you get, how many boyfriends you have had, being the most popular. Its about sticking to what you really believe in, being happy about yourself, and making the most of everything you have. You will make more friends as you get older, and for now you could try talking to different people more, and gaining a closer bond. You could join a few clubs, and meet people with the same interests as you. Good luck!

TomWilkinson agony auntThe best way to get invited to parties is to ask whoever is organising it if they'd mind you coming along. After a few times of doing this they'll start inviting you =)

Boyfriends are over-rated =P don't worry about it there's plenty of time yet for that =)

"Miss Popular" is usually a 2 faced bitch, be proud that you aren't her! You say you have lots of friends so you are popular, just maybe not in the "popular group"!
