How could I possibly make new friends, as well as form new relationships in a troubled neighborhood?
Being a mid-teenager, I’m having an intense time finding new friends, let alone PEERS within my neighborhood.
Just about all of it consists of kids younger than 12/13, families with negligent parents here and there, and occasionally hoodlums to top it all off.
I literally have only 2 friends that live remotely close, in which are the only ones nearby my family is familiar with.
(In case you are wondering, I don’t live in slums or somewhere deep in NY, I actually live on a military base, so I can understand if this strikes you as odd)
To make matters worse, almost all my friends, including friends of my parents, plan on moving within 1-3 yrs, so although this may be trivial at first, I know this would affect me dramatically down the road, and I cannot afford that to happen.
So can someone honestly make some suggestions of how I can connect with the people around me in which have someone I can relate to? Is there a “proper” way of introducing yourself to another family? (I have no trouble be-friending others, it’s entire familes that I’m heavily concerned about.)
I appreciate any sincere responses.

Je weet dat een aantal van dit soort vriendschappen zal duren u al uw leven, zelfs als u gaat wonen bij elkaar in de buurt voor een korte tijd. Ik denk dat een manier om te benadrukken dat het starten van deze vraag anderen wat hun e-mail adres is. Onthoud ook dat deze anderen zijn gevoel dezelfde problemen die je bent. Probeer ze op te nemen dingen die je doet of maak iets dat ze allemaal. Break erop dat frisbee of voetbal.
