The problem was how hard it was for me to make friends. I get so anxious when I'm trying to make new friends irl and I never fit in. Plus the schools in my area are a long way away (nearest highschool is like, almost a full hour away) and they're filled with messed up people who I'm nothing like.

I remember one of my friends who went to highschool for a while there (before going back to homeschooling). Apparently he could've been the smartest student in his class. And he wasn't even that great apparently. I feel like, with the exception of that one guy in my school who got arrested for shoplifting (turns out in the end, he was just the getaway driver, and even then, he was a little young to be driving), my high school is OK when it comes to the students. Maybe there could be a lot more stuff going on, but everyone's basically just stressed out and suicidal at my school anyway, so no one really bothers anyone else (unless you actually bother them, in which case they will act visibly annoyed). Almost everyone is also introverted, so it's easy to connect over similar struggles. Usually people can become friends by sitting next to each other in any given class. In short, most students here aren't actively trying to make things better, but they aren't making things worse either.
