making friends, here in brooklyn

[stormy_14]

I don't know exactly what is wrong with me, but here is my situation. I have not had a good friend since I moved to brooklyn, and i don't think I am lacking in personality, I just don't click with anybody around here, i am not racist, but I dont think i can get along with these kids around here, every girl wants to fight me. I don't run my mouth.......they just meet me and want to fight..........my sister has this theory that they envy me. I don't think that is possible, but now I am beginning to think it myself, because they are always accusing me of being fake..i dont wear make-up..except for gloss and mascara....and i dont do my nails, but they are always trying to play with my hair, and some compliment it for being so pretty and silky, they are always saying im pretty, and I feel kind of uncomfortable about it, when they try to play with my hair, i pull away.....then they get mad at me cause i dont want to be touched, they are always commentijg on how soft and clear my skin is and stuff, but if i don't want them to touch me, they get mad and want to fight me, like i said ui am not racist but I am white, the only white girl is my grade, maybe even school...lol and eveyone else is black, i dont mind black people at all, in elementry school i most of my friends were black, but now, in high school they all want to fight me, is it because I am white? I have aked before you know, why do u want to fight me, and they are like how i must think i am better than them, or make fun of me and call me names, i dont want to have anyproblems this year, but if these bitches want to fight, i'll bring it.....lol
So if you can help with some advice please do.............

When you pull away they might think it's because they're black, or something.

Well, if you're not doing anything wrong, and they just get all pissed and say "you wanna fight" ask them why they wanna fight. When I visit my uncle in Staten Island people wanna fight if you look at them wrong. Maybe you just have to get to know these people? I dunno, I can't really offer much advice.

How about not typing in Bold, big leters for a start

Well, I suggest you just avoid these people as much as possible. I know you have to go to school with them, but don't deliberately put yourself in situations where you'll be alone with them. Like after school on the streets, secluded areas of the school, etc. And if they say they want to fight you, don't egg them on. Make it clear that you aren't interested in fighting, and try to be as kind as possible when you are around them. And if they ever DO harm you in any way, tell an adult as soon as you can.

As for finding friends, well, it looks like your pickings are pretty slim where you are. But that's just life. Concentrate on your school work. Spend time with your family. You won't be going to that school forever.
