Friends

It can feel bad to be out of the 'in-crowd'. But most people need mates and want to be friends. Act confident even if you feel shy. Make the first move, suggest a group of you do something together - you'll find one friend leads to another.

No real friendship just happens - you have to work at it. Friends can really help, so make sure you don't take them for granted. Give them time, the return is always worth it. Be a good friend.

Just fallen out with a friend? Take some time to think about it. Was it over something big? Are there two sides to the argument? Can you see their point of view? Is it worth losing a friend over? Take some time then talk it over - life's too short to lose good friends over nothing.
