He is the last person you want to talk to!" and I was thinking that's just cruel but I wanted to know what they meant by it so I asked what was wrong with him their answer didn't give much away they just said "He is very odd and lonely." and I was thinking aww to myself like that's horrible, he's only lonely because you're all calling him weird.. I was upset for him.I know this sounds shallow but I don't know if I can be-friend him like I want to, because I might loose everyone else if I do so. So what am I going to do please help?

If they are true friends then they'd accept that you like talking to everyone. Plus, some of my best friends are the 'dorks' of the school and, as Luckshot said,they are much better people on the inside than those who are popular and loud. Good luck!

 Hello :) There is no reason for anyone to judge him, or you if you befriend him, and also 'mild dyslexia' is especially not a reason for people to judge him! I mean, I have mild dyslexia and nobody judges me :/ if your friends are true friends they'll accept that you want to be friends with this guy :) please remind them that.. I hope I help a little bit :) Good luck! :)

 If you like this guy and think he would be a good friend, who cares what others think. At the end of the day it's the outsiders that can be your most loyal friends for life i've found.
