I'm too quiet and therefore boring?

Has this been since you've been going to senior school or did you have difficulty making friends before then?
Secondary/high school is a horrible place and time to try and make new friends. You're discovering the stuff you like,the bits of personality you can't stand in others etc.and as a form of safety, people gather in cliques.only feeling safe themselves if they can discriminate against others.
I guess the only advice I could give that makes sense, is to say to yourself, that"I am a great kid with a great personality and I will not be dumped on by anybody!"
"I have insecurities of my own but I refuse to accept any more!"
If you have this as your "lesson to live your life by" your personality will shine through and my guess is people will want to know you as a result.
I wish I could tell you that life's a breeze. But it ain't! So the only thing you can really do is be true to yourself.
