Hey, im 15 years old and a guy and i've been recently worried that my social life kinda sucks. I'm not exactly the most social person, and i enjoy my alone time so i don't expect to have good social life nor do i want it. I just finished year/grade 10 this year and im going to start year 11 in feb (Australia is different to America). Inside of school i don't have THAT many friends, but i am in a group with about 3 other people and we're fairly close. I'm generally liked in my school though, so that's good. Outside of school, all i really do is hang out with 1 or 2 friends and pretty much just play basketball or tennis about once a week. I also have friends over every now and then, but that doesn't happen too often. I do stay in contact with my friends using msn and facebook though. I haven't been to any type of party since like grade 6, i was invited to 1 this year but i couldn't go because i was at a cousins house 2 hours drive away. This is pretty much ALL my social life consists of, What do you guys think?
BQ: What was your social life like in grade 10/11?

Tbh, the equation for me is: The more friends=more problems.
You don't need a lot of friends. Just a few.
And you can really trust those few with your life.
And no, your social life doesn't suck. The number of parties you are invited to doesn't determine you as an individual.
Don't worry about it, be cool, be yourself.
My social life isn't really interesting per say, I don't have boy trouble, or some girl causing trouble for me every week. I think it's mainly because I've cut down on those friends that cause drama and just been friendly. In grade 10, I wanted to be cool and everything, wanted to be popular, but really, it's nothing.
I'm in 11th grade gonna be in second semester on the 9th of January anyways sounds good to me liked in school 3 friend group goes out once in a while that's good dude quality over quantity as in best to have 3 really close friends then 30 whatever friends I'm simiar go out a few times cuz I have no money many many times lol and hang with a group of 10 or so and have people to talk to for every period close to your story so your all good
No, not at all. Just because you are not with someone every moment of your life, doesn't mean your social life is bad. It's actually pretty good, since you focus on other things in life too, not JUST friendships. Keep doing what your doing, and Junior year should be great.
I think you have a pretty social life. You shouldn't base your social life on the amount of parties you go to or the amount of time you spend with friends. It's ok that you like to spend time alone. Your social life should be what you want it to be.
