Does being unsociable make me less attractive?

[Sarah]

Well I'm a sixteen year old girl and A few years back I moved to a really rough part of Manchester. The school is hard going!

At first I was bullied really badly - loads of the girls hated me and made hate groups about me on Facebook (seems to be the fashionable thing for teenagers to do these days) and they just wouldn't leave me alone. The boys were just as bad, they'd try and touch me up all the time and shove me about. Once one of them grabbed me up out my seat by my hair. Instead of being scared, I was mad this time so I got up and floored him and everything soon died down. They still chat about me behind my back, but at least they stay out my way!

Anyway, the teachers are all good though, and I'm doing really well. I really don't mean to sound big headed but I have got a lot going for me and I think this is why I was bullied - I stand out. I'm bright, people say I'm really slim and pretty and that I'll have no trouble finding a husband in the future! (Husband, not boyfriend - bit different in my culture lol)

But after everything that's happened at school, I can't be bothered with people. I'm usually quiet (apart from the odd scrap haha) and keep myself to myself. I've never got on with other girls my age.

In future when I find someone, will he think its odd that I hardly have any friends - is it a bad thing?

As a person myself, I've always thought I'd be a good wife. I have morals, honest, very loyal and faithful, make a good mum blah blah blah, you get the idea. So is not having any friends that big a deal?

you just keep doing what you are doing. it seems to be working well fo ryou. nothing wrong in being smart. nor quiet. you don't have any friends, or many friends, simply because of your environment. you stand out, something few at your school do. don't worry about the lack of friends, or being unsociable. you are doing what you need to do to succeed. and that is a fantastic thing to be doing. keep it up

Sarah,

I can count my friends on one hand and I love it that way. People will judge other people on every little thing, if you don't have an issue with it, no one else will.

Your still young and you will make friends outside of school.

Don't befriend someone just because you think society will look down on you, if you do this, you may befriend the wrong type of person.

Good luck
