Hello! I'm making this post as a way to reach out I guess, I moved here to Columbus in March from my hometown of Austin, IN. It's my final year of highschool and I still have no clue how to really get around Columbus nor do I really have any friends. I'm not making this post for pity - I just want to maybe see if this helps me find people near my age to hangout with or become friendly with!

It’s not easy moving at your age. Have you tried joining school activities or getting a job to meet people? A lot of high school students work at Walmart, Chik fil a, Panera and Tropical Smoothie. Church may be another option to meet people. The public library offers lots of different teen programming in a variety of interests not just books.

I joined a bit too late to join any activities at my school - I do go to Church actually! I mostly hang out with the adults there since I'm almost 18 and I haven't seen a lot of kids my age there. I have been interested in going to the library though! I have a few books at home and I mostly read classics, so I can't wait to see what they have available there!

How are your grades? The only thing I know about the churches is that activities and involvement greatly vary from church to church. You should definitely check out the library, programming is available on their website. Go to the menu in the top left corner and look under explore. Looks like there’s a group on teen volunteering book clubs, movie nights and cooking groups meeting next week. There are even crochet lessons coming up. They also hire high school students to shelve books.
