I am 12 years old. My parents constantly tell me to join clubs instead of being on my own most of the time. I have two best friends who I really like but for some reason whenever I'm with them out of school time I start thinking about how I want to go home and do something else. Whenever I do try to join a club I act normally on the outside but on the inside I'm hating it. I cant make friends and whenever someone tries to talk to me they end up giving up because I have nothing to say. However, if I'm with people I know and i can determine what I want to do I always have fun. This isn't possible when I'm with my friends because one of my friends has a very overpowering confident personality and she always decides what we're doing. Please will someone help me find something I can do that I will actually enjoy and stop me sitting round the house on my phone with nothing better to do ☹

For starters, ask your one girl-friend if you can pick where you go. When it comes to making friends.. it's not an easy task you know, but you need to put yourself out there.. and no, I don't mean be overly out there, I just mean simply say hello to someone or even smile at people who pass by. Joining clubs are a great way to make friends, just find one club that is involved in something you like, there's bound to be one.
- Good luck to you!
Hey thank u for the advice , let me elaborate a bit more on my friend. Me and her are completely different: I love books, she doesn't. She loves fashion, I find it completely boring. Its very strange how we ended up being friends as we are polar opposites. The trouble with asking her if we can do something else is the fact that we are so different. Anything I want to do is boring as hell to her, and my other friend is just like her so she always sides with her. I still am best friends with her and I really like her but we just don't have the same interests so we can't both decide on the same thing.
