Answer 1

Find somewhere where you can volunteer preferably with other teens. Call around and ask specifically where teens are volunteering in your community. This is a great place to meet great kids.

From http://www.canihomeschool.blogspot.com.....

You will make friends by getting involved in activities.

-volunteer

-church youth group

-sports

-art classes

-teen council

-start a club

-get together with old friends

-work a part time job

-join a homeschool support group

-community orchestra

-drama club

-4H

-choir

You will make some really great friends because they will share common interests with you that last longer than a high school class.

Answer 5

Do you have a job? If so, get to know the people you work with.

Wouldn't you need money to run around with friends anyway.  Even if you don't go do something that costs money, the gas to get there does.

Answer 6

Does your town have a library? Church? Community Center? 4-H Club? Charities? Arcade? Bowling alley? Museum? Hospital? Basket ball court? Botanic garden? Soup kitchen? Bookstore?

Find different places. Go there. Volunteer. Join clubs. Sign up for classes or workshops. Get involved with things. Meet people.

Answer 7

Just try joining school clubs that you'll enjoy. You'll have friends in no time.

Answer 8

The possibilities are endless.  You can get a part time job, volunteer, get involved in community activities, if your family goes to church there are things at church you can get involved in.  If you feel isolated it is because you have isolated yourself.  Unless your parents chain you to a table or lock you in a closet there is not reason except for your own lack of ambition as to why you feel a lack of socialization.
