What do I do when I need help with everything about my life?

Don't worry, it really wasn't much of an overload.
Well, I really don't know of any activities that I could join outside of school, I like gymnastics and martial arts, but most of the places I know of are too expensive (for me) to join, and given that I live in the American equivalent of a suburb (in regards of distance from the main parts of the city) it is nearly impossible to get to the places I know I could join, because they are located to the other side of the city.
There is one place that comes to mind, and it's a sports federation across the street from where my school is, but they only take under ages; as to meeting any of my neighbors and becoming their friend, I guess I could try that, but I've never seen any person my age around here, and the few times I've, it's either in a car, dirt bike, or going to/coming from a sports/exercise session. And as I mentioned earlier, I have trouble opening up, it's easier for me if I have a thing or two in common with a person, and I can be quite socially awkward when it comes to meeting new people.

You know, looking back it was easier for me as a kid to make friends, it just sort of happened, but I've moved 4 times already and it just seems to get harder instead of easier.

 

Well, I live with my cousin, and given that I don't like thrashing others (specially behind their backs), all I'm going to say is that he is the nicest jerk I've met so far (by the way, I live in a small house with seven other people). I guess I could try making more of an effort getting to know better those classmates who I kind of get along with, talking to students outside of my class wouldn't be the best of ideas, as I'm already in my last year and if my classmates are immature, don't even try to picture the lower grades. Back to those few classmates I mentioned, I said I sort of get along with them because we might engage in small talk from time to time, and have actually gone out together a couple of times, although not much conversation happened there. We seem to have things in common, but I have no idea how to bring up subjects they might want to talk about, I'm quite passive in those things unless I have gotten to know the person better...I'm terrible at making friends.

 

I'll guess I can try that; I love video games, so I might as well try to get them talking about games they like. It does help, let's just see if my awkwardness doesn't get the best of me.

 

Thanks, to everyone here, thank you so much, feeling my problems were heard and having the support of others is something I can not stop appreciating.

 

Well of course, no one likes to make friends, only to leave them behind, then have to make new friends and then leave those behind as well. I'm in between the reluctance of making new friends and the desire to have new bonds.

 

Okay, I would like to make a question here, how do I show my classmates (those who I mentioned before) that I'm interested in being included in their conversations? As I mentioned before I'm quite socially awkward, and therefore I'm not the kind of person to just go sit next to them, and start chatting up, specially for two reasons: One, if done too many times, I could easily start being perceived as a nuisance (or a nosy person), and two I don't know how to start a conversation with someone I really don't know that well ("tragically" ironical, huh?).
Guys, be blunt, what are your honest opinions in all of this? I'm not talking only about the most recent posts.

 

Yeah, that seems like a nice idea.

I do have their names(and they, mine), I'll try to find something they like to talk about as well.

 

That is something I will keep in my mind, thank you.

 

Hey guys, small-ish update on something I wanted to share with you, that I forgot to do yesterday. So basically I got in a conversation with my classmates (it was actually the group that misbehaves in class) during recess, and they were teasing me (jokingly, I never take them seriously) about if I ever liked girls, and I told them the truth that I've had, exactly, a couple of minor crushes over my life (and also boys, but I did not tell them that). Then they changed the subject (as I expected) to start talking about homosexuals, and at first they start joking about what would I do if I started liking boys,(by this point a couple of the classmates I do hang out with were sitting close to me and just listened) and basically I had to dodge the bullet on that one (see out status), but then I asked them to hear me out, which they did, and told them about what I believed about sexuality, how I believe there it is no universal law for everyone, how I believe it varies from person to person and even within a person, I even took the chance and said directly that there was nothing wrong with homosexuality, what surprised me (although I didn't show it) was they said: "Yeah, there's nothing wrong with being gay." The thing is at this point I didn't even know if they were joking or not, they had certainly stopped laughing as much as they had at the beginning of the conversation, but they were still making jokes among themselves. Recess ended and the conversation a couple minutes later. It felt nice to express my opinions, and I actually avoided doubting myself while I was talking (although I did stammer a bit), and I'm also glad that part of my opinions is out in the open. Yet, I still wonder, did they take anything of what I said about sexuality seriously?
Ok it was long, but I felt it was a thing to share, tell what you thing about this.
