How do I make friends in a setting where I’m around people much older than me?

Updated: 2/8/2020

I go to classes on a college campus but I’m in high school (15 year old) I don’t have any friends because I have social anxiety and I also don’t really feel comfortable around the people in my classes because they’re at minimum 3 years older than me. I want to make friends but I’m struggling with how to do that when I’m never around my peers. Not having any friends is also making me incredibly lonely and depressed, and the only people I interact with regularly are my parents. I don’t have much time to be in a club because of homework. Any advice?

Can you have friends older than you?

Yes, you can have friends who are older than you. There is no age requirement for friendship. However, it is also true that people of the same or similar age to yourself are the most likely to be interested in the same things that you are interested in, so sometimes it is difficult to make friends with people who are very much younger or older than you are. But it is certainly possible.

How old do you have to be to babysit people?

There is no set age to babysit. It can depend on the relationship you have with the parents. Older babysitters are obviously preferred, as they would be considered more mature. Family friends of course would trust younger people. I would say around 16 is a decent age though.

They are still friends, they just aren't as close as they used to be. People change as they get older, things changed, and they just drifted away from each other. They are still friends though, just not as close as they were when they were younger.
