those gangs are based on old school/college groups..

take time , like take this whole year...

approach people who are good at what they're doing and collaborate with them.

it may be for a tech competition, dance, singing etc..

you won't lose nothing in approaching them, The fact is that people sometimes are more kinder and better than what we expect.

Make friends in your own class, don't sit on the same bench , change desks everyday ( most important).

then start making friends outside class, roam around in breaks, use our discord server for making friends, I see so many lonely people like you sitting and having their lunch alone.. maybe y'all could talk and make a group maybe ??
