"I need help with friendship.... I only have one friend in my class... I only see my one friend in band on Thursdays. And I only see my really good friends at theater on Thursdays and Saturdays."

Hi, first of all I'm terribly sorry for responding after a year. You probably solved this trouble of yours but I guess I'll just post this for others who could relate to this..

You know, having a few friends isn't that bad. It's good that you still get to see your good friends on thursdays and saturdays. I hope I don't offend you but I feel like you seem troubled on making friends?

If I'm right, then that's okay. 

I (admin) could actually relate to this. When I was at my 10th year, I had extreme difficulty in making friends at my own class. I wasn't bullied or some sort. It just so happened that everyone had cliques already and made it obvious that they don't have a room for another person. (So.. Yikes.) Like you, I also had my group of good friends but we are all separated in different classes and considering that we aren't in the same class, it means we have different schedules.

Honestly, It was really hard. But the good thing is, I had one friend in that class whom I could call or talk to. And we could pair up together when there are projects. We aren't what you call 'best friends' but we could actually get along well and feel comfortable with each other.

So I guess my point is that it's perfectly fine to have one friend in class. As long as you know you have your good friends and still get to see them, everything's alright. After all, Although you aren't 'friends' with most of your classmates, what matters is that they aren't giving you a hard time. (And I hope they aren't) If you wanted to make friends with them, then go ahead and talk to them..  if it's a bit hard because maybe you're shy, just observe a bit and look for a person whom is open and easy to talk to and once you get to get along with them, others might find you as a good companion.  And last thing you should remember that you're there at school for your education so having a thousand of friends doesn't really matter so yeah :) 

Not sure if it helped but I hope it did a bit,

Admin & Riley.
