Dogscoff: 11th grad is usually around age 17...

Taera: I'm in about the same position, have been all my life actually. I'm 17, just getting out of 11th myself.
I had a hard time with friends, most of the time I felt like an outcast around other ppl. I was also an only child for the first 10 years of my life. (the 10 greatest years of my life lol) So I learned how to get along fine by myself. I stopped caring about what other ppl thought of me and I stopped trying to fit in.
It took a while but I eventually found some friends, not many mind you but I did find a few. Just be yourself, like Dogscoff said, look for other comp nuts like us in your school or neighborhood. Trust me they are everywhere

Looking for new hobbies might help. The other guys said something about community service, like a homeless shelter or something. See if your school has a Key Club.
Key Club is the largest high school orginization in the World. The Carolinas district alone (North and Souther Carolina) has 30 something divisions and 4 or 5 clubs in each one. See if you can get into one...
Church is another good place to meet ppl. I met my current girlfriend at my church. However she lives 1000 miles away from me... I'm still trying to figure that one out myself

About this girl... Try talking to her about your situation. If she is a friend worth having she will try and help. Don't be pushy though..
If you need to talk, you know my email...
And remember you've always got us in Legacies

EDIT: Ack! two ppl posted while I was writing...
