My family is dirt poor and cannot afford a smart phone or even a trac phone, so i m really worried about having no friends in high school. Seeing that in 8th grade all my friends dumped me for not having a smart phone. And it was really impossible to make friends without a phone when everyone else has one and lusts on it( no joke). SO I had to spend most of the year as a loner which I would be cool with but all of my teachers kept wanting the students to form a group and do the work because of want the superintendent said. and I will always sit there in a very depressing mood waiting for a chance someone would want to work with me. But in the end no phone means no friends. So the teacher would have to urge a group to take pity on me to let me in which i m also so embarresed about and usually cry.

So I want to know will High school really be any different. If not then please tell me how to survive/stop that akward moment where eople take pity on me
