At 15, you're forming your self-image. It is a very awkward and difficult time...for most everyone. So you're not alone!
Get to know God! He will show you how He sees you...He will lead you where you need to go. Keep this the main reason why you go to Church and Youth Group.
Practice learning social skills. Learning how to talk to people takes practice. It will have some failures in it....I had a terrible case of 'foot-in-the-mouth' disease until I acquired some tact and experience in conversing.
Find a few good friends. If people ignore you, they aren't seeing the real you. You can't make people pay attention to you...if you try to, usually it doesn't work out well. Be friendly and inquire about other people's lives (without being too personal). People usually like talking about themselves so this is a good way to start.
This probably doesn't apply to you but it is one of the most common pitfalls in learning to converse.....Be careful about always bringing the conversation back to what YOU think or how the topic applies to YOU. There is a man in our church who, no matter what the conversation is about, will always derail it into how it affects him. This becomes annoying.
Don't give up. And don't hold a grudge. Resentment will inhibit the Holy Spirit from working in your life. Love and forgiveness go hand-in-hand.
Praying for you....awareness of the Spirit working in your life, wisdom and discernment, endurance, and love
