Question

Heyy guys..this is my 9th year in new york city.. and im 16 so I guess I basically grew up here.. but as im growing older.. i've come to realize i really dont know much about stuff..stuff i should know..Im kinda an introvert.. I have friends which i hang out with..but im usally just at home..and i feel i have a lot to catch up on.. and i feel far behind.. you know how some people are street smart.. well im street dumb.. I dont know any restaurants,clubs or brand names, or stores, streets, avenues, subway or bus routes..perfumes, and etc.. etc..and my family never goes out to eat or vacation.. or just hang out.. so i really dont get any kind of outside knowledge from them.. i do find stuff out from friends.. but still..most of my friends know so much more then me about the outside world.. and i feel really dumb.. i just want to know what i can do.. or how i can be more street smart..and more knowledgable about all this..i want to know stuff.. any suggestions or advice.? Thanks

join community services or school groups just not the bad ones, also you can ask your parents to hang out or your friends, stroll the city but first find out ideas on the internet maybe or your neighbors. Socialize and believe me you'll get to know some as you get older , your still young so its on natural to be confused and feel unwise. :)
