in need to belong...

[dannibear]

God created humans, to have the feeling
of loneliness, and I always have that feeling...
I never belong to one group of friends, I pass
from group to group and back again, because
of the fact that many are atheists, and do not
wish to be with me. I want to make more
Christian friends my age, not just my
devoted English teacher -_-.
Does anyone have any idea, how I might
and where I might be able to?
I've made a couple in church, but they go to
different schools...

i know how you feel, is there a christian group of some kind in your school or how about a youth group near you? also try to meet your friends outside church make them more than "church friends" hope this helps

any help is appreciated
im going to check and see if there is a Christian club
in my school, and see if I can see my
friends that go to church outside of church.
even if they go to different schools.

Sounds as if you're speaking of two projects: 1) Forming a Christian club at your school and 2) Connecting with church friends who attend other schools. Be prepared for resistance from school administrators on the Christian club idea. They may be afraid of violating the Separation of Church and State court ruling and of the American Civil Liberties Union.

Where making friends is concerned, learn the 80/20 rule: Start meeting as many people as you can. Just say, "Hi, my name is......., what's your name?" Don't worry about starting a conversation. Keep it simple and do it with lots of people. Keep at it for, say, a month (as a trial run). Its been my experience that 80% of your contacts will not bear fruit. But, the other 20% will become true friends. It's a numbers game- the more people you meet, the more will fall into that 20% bracket.

Not alone

Being lonely means that you long for a companion, humans were not created to be alone, we indeed need each other. When you feel lonely remember that you always have God by your side, Geneiss 28:15 - I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you. Psalms 37 is also a good read for you, it talks about dismissing what others have and worry about what God has in store for you.
