suddenly akwardness?

[138]

im a sophomore in high school. in middle school i used to be super (even diagnosably) socially akward. It was bad, i couldnt even friend any girls in my class on fb hahahha. but it switched schools in 9th grade (my school ended in 8th) and was much less akward. I finally got loads of friends, and even a gf. but then i had to switch schools again (my family moved out east). I blossomed at my new school. I made so many more friends, picked up some new hobbies, and was having a great time. Unfortunately, some of those new hobbies got me suspended for a week. i have been and still am grounded since about a month after that. i only see anyone at school, and cant hang out with anyone outside of that capacity. i havent gotten with anyone or hung out with a chick in over a month. i find myself getting progressively more akward and nervous at school. im getting more and more like my middle school self. whats happening?

You are probably anxious about how you got suspended. Plus since you can't really hang out with friends outside of school, it doesn't give you as much opportunity to socialize, so maybe your social skills are a bit rusty. I would make an effort to talk to your friends in school more anyways, like during lunch, in the hallways, etc. You don't have to be outside the school grounds in order to chill with friends.
