You know, I was exactly like you when I was in hs, and I always wished I could go back and give myself the following advice:
1) The people that mock you are the losers
2) If someone doesn't like you, that's their problem
3) Do whatever it is you love to do, and enjoy it
4) Don't change yourself to impress people
5) Smiles and friendliness go a lot further than attitude or being anti social
Seriously, if people are making fun of you, they're doing it cuz they know it bugs you. Ignore them, and they get bored. Just open up to people, lose the low self confidence, and you'll make friends. You'll even make friends with GIRLS.....and in time maybe you'll find a nice one to date. But don't get obsessed with finding a GF or it won't happen.
I agree with everything in this post. But I agree with others when I say lose the hat, or at least don't wear it like that. I can tell from your pic that you are indeed white, and the only guys that can really pull that off are black, not that they don't look dumb either when they're hats are on like that. If you want to wear a baseball hat, wear it the right way. It really does make a difference as to how people think. But just be yourself, and try to be happy. I went through a spurt last year where I was the most miserable prick ever, and I really didn't talk to anyone at school. Luckily I was still okay with my ex and buddies, but I didn't talk to anyone else. This year I've been trying to focus on just having a better outlook on life, and I feel like its working, and I'm making more friends because of it.
Also, you're in high school. Play a sport, or join some clubs. Shit, you may stink at a sport, but give it a go. You'll make some friends as long as you don't act like an *******. Also, don't wait for others to make things happen with you. Do it yourself. You meet somebody cool, call them and ask them to hang out. If they say no, **** em. Same thing with girls. Just try to lose the unhappiness. Even if you join some clubs that suck, you'll still meet some cool people. Good luck dude.
