SAME. I had alot of friends, but I noticed they were all fake friends.. I started school this week.. im 15 and entering 10th (like you).. I only have one friend, and hes my cousin but hes a junior so I don't have him for my classes.. Just try to talk to people in each period so you know people in each class you can talk to. Try to get a girlfriend.
Thats what im trying:).
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
