So first of all ew on your mom’s part, I’m sorry she said that! Have you tried joining clubs at your school? Try this: envision the type of friends you want; where are they? Coffee shops? Library? Pilates class? Art studios? Wherever it may be, put yourself in those places and strike up light convo! You deserve to have a social life. Don’t let jealousy consume your heart as it will repel the thing you want most!
