Heey,I'm Croatian too,16 and half
Which city are you from?
Maybe I know someone out there who can help

Also,do you have a facebook account?

quit trippin dude. there's soooo many ways to make new friends. join a sport at ur school, any sport. that way u'll be there because of the sport and not the people. once they notice how cool you are, it'll be gravy from there. any sports are a great way to find new people. alot of my buddies i played polo with in high school are friends with other ppl from other high schools. consider it a social networking tool

Hy mate, I'm from Croatia! Nice to see some of my "people" around here!

As mentioned above join a club of some sort OUTSIDE of you highschool and from there you can start to make friends it may be daunting at first joining a club where you dont know anyone but all you've got to do is go and introduce yourself them.

It sounds like you've pretty much alienated yourself from people at your school so start there. People will then start to talk to you and hey ho you've made some buddies then start going out with them outside and you'll probably meet up with there mates from whatever school they go to. Maybe they know people from your school and people will start to respect you from your own school and you can start over with making friends there.

Its all about networking!!

Good luck!

This one really worked for me and it is really simple. Just SMILE....... When ever you are walking down the halls or sitting in class and you happen to make eye contact with someone, just shoot them a smile and then go back to what you were doing. You will be surprised at the results...... i was

P.S. dont make it a goofy smile, just a nice friendly one if you know what i mean.

as Leon Says you need to get some school pals, i think.
I don't know about Croatia, but in the UK we spend something like 8 hours at school a day, 5 days a week, so if you don't socialise with people the days will really drag (which I'm guessing you've noticed, which prompted this thread).
how you sort this out really depends on you and what you did that made a bad impression (or you think made a bad impression, the other guys at school may have forgotten whatever it was already). I guess to "win them round" you need to demonstrate some value, i.e make it worth their while to spend time with you. Maybe you have an internet connection that some other guys don't, maybe you are really good at a particular subject and could give some pointers to those that aren't, maybe you can get more realistic fake ID than they can!?! you get the Idea. The most important thing is don't let it get you down, though School is important, the majority of the people you meet there won't be a part of your adult life. Let us know how you get on.

First of all, I don’t know why you care what country thier from. I go to a big college in Cleveland and there are tons of croations and serbs, plus like every other ethnicity. I talk to all of them and have friends in each group. I wouldn’t worry where their from, just make a connection with anyone. I'm from America but that doesn’t mean I just hang around with Americans. With that said....

As others have said sports are a great way to meet people. If your really not into sports a meet a lot of cool guys at the gym. Start going to a local gym where the kids from high school hang out, you'll be sure to make some friends there. Just ask someone for a spot or talk about lifting technique next thing you know, you know there name, then you start sayin hi when you see them, then maybe if you guys have something in common you start hanging out. Plus going to the gym has a benefits’. Health, physically in shape, and a bunch of hot chicks.

Another place to make friends is work.. Get a part time job in retail or something. Ive made some great friends at work. Work is nice because there is not a lot of people there. I used to work at Sears in electronics and there was always like 2 or 3 people I was working with, so I got to know a lot about them, and then the next thing I know were going on break together, going to the bar after and hangin out on weekends.

All in all just be nice to everyone, smile, say hi.. People like others that are friendly..
Good luck....

These books have helped me and alot of my friends be more social and make more friends.

Dale Carnegie - How To Win Friends And Influence People
Carlos Xuma - Secrets of the Alpha Male

Ye you are from America so you don't get it, the former yugoslavian countries have alot of tension between them so even though the serbs might be great and make good friends there is still a diffrence.

But i agree with you and others that have posted, get a job, join a sport, pref some common sport like soccer but if you suck arse at it join a MMA/Judo/Boxing club where every one can go at its own phase without being dorky like the Tae Kwon Do / Kung Fu dojos.

I don't know if anybody already has said this but: Only because you made a bad first impression doesn't mean you're screwed. Relax. Make some way to make contact with them and let them know that you arn't actually as lame as they though You can always change things!

Good Luck!

If you're serious about getting your social life on track here is what you have to do.

Step one. Stop making race an issue, if I wanted to find people of my national heritage I'd never have friends. I'm italian/Jewish/Irish/French. Each of my grandparents are from different parts of the world. I don't hang out with people from any single national/racial/socio-economic group. As long as they are cool people they can roll with me.

Step two. Find a hobby, ideally a sport, that you socialize with. I play Australian football, soccer and cricket. Fantastic ways to socialize and meet great people. I'm not any good at sport but the teams love me for my enthusiasm and loyalty. It also helps to keep you in shape. And playing some sort of contact sport will really encourage you to hit the gym. A few tackles from some 100kg 6'4' psycopath will push anyone into joining a gym.

Step three. get out there and get a job. In a cafe or retail. Great for helping with social interactions. Builds you spirit up.

I have another step, that really isn't for everyone, but I find it really helps me. Read some Zoroastrian texts. Personally I dont subscribe to the religious components, but the philosophy of balancing chaos and peace is fantastic I think. If water is left still in will stagnate and become full of pests, if it is too violent, nothing can survive, the same applies to all of life. Right now, you're life is too peaceful, you have nothing to do. But if it becomes too chaotic you will never find happiness.

Message me if you want any advice on following through with any of my steps.

Damn, this stupid religion, leave those shits, Croats, Bosnians and Serbs.

I am Bulgarian and I don't understand why you get the religion so important, maybe since those wars...
anyway

Dude I am not sure but the Bosnians are friendly to the Croats, right so you can build relationships with more Bosnians
