Social life = zero!?

Question

I live in small town, most of kids from my school live in north of the state. My town is very small, not lot to do. My dad suggest us to go through neighborhoods to look for friends, I saw "Deaf Child" and I'm deaf, since my school is one hour away from home, I decide to make friends near my home. Is it bad to do that? Any suggestions, I'm 15 and deaf also, I'm trying to be less shy

Answer 1

Don't any of the other students from your school live near your home?  It would be ideal for you if they do.  I can't really say that looking through strange neighborhoods for friends is such a great idea.  It might make you look like a pushy person.  You could attend local functions in your town and the neighboring towns to try to meet people, but not just drive through looking for friends.  Good luck.

Answer 2

at least ur good at math

Answer 3

It may be harder since you are deaf and live in a small town.

Even in a small town, there should be some activities that you should be able to get involved in.  Try to find one or two that you would enjoy.  Getting involved in something is the easiest way to meet someone.  You will already know that you have at least one thing in common with the person(people) since you are in the same activity.  The library should have some events and the regular school may let you join some of the extra curricular activities.  

I don't think it is a bad idea to make friends closer to your home at all.  It will help you come out of your shell.  You could start with one friend and build from there.  Usually that one person can introduce you to others.

Hope this helps...

Answer 4

I wonder if any of those deaf child signs are talking about you. Not saying you are a child but anyway, I grew up in a small town also and after graduation you can go pretty much wherever you want so start looking forward and thinking about that.

Answer 5

Well by trying to make friends, you're definitely getting better at not being shy. Making friends around your neighborhood is great, since you don't have a long distance to drive (as apposed to making friends by your school). Although if you were looking for another friend that is also deaf, I would suggest asking around your school to find out who that person is, then getting to know them.
