Hard to fit in

Sepideh,

I don’t have a lot of friends in middle school and it’s hard for me to fit in with any groups. Sometimes I say things I regret later, I can’t make normal conversations. Any advice?

Solution:

• Find people with same interest – look at clubs, student government, activities, or guidance counselor
• Be more aware of what you say. Pause for a moment to think about what you are about to say
• Offer your help. Volunteers are often welcome
