[Faith-talk] confirmation retreat advice

[vejas]

 Hi.
My name is Vejas.  I'm a 16-year-old boy and I have my 
confirmation in May.
However, next month, I have a 3Day confirmation retreat.  We're 
going to be staying in cabins.  I don't really want to go.  The 
main reason for this is because I don't have any friends that are 
boys that go to my church, so I can't really choose my cabin 
mates.  There are only 2 boys in my class but they're very 
annoying and distracting, so usually I hang out with the girls.  
Most boys enjoy talking about sports or girls, but I'm not into 
ei; I'm more of a person that keeps to myself and likes to read 
my braille-note, and only have a few friends; we are more 
academic-based.  During our retreat, though, we're not allowed to 
use cell phones and computers, but I understand why.  My main 
concern is that without friends or electronics, I won't have 
anything to do and that I will be completely ignored by people 
who have known each other for quite some time.
Has anyone else gone through a similar time in their life? 
Because if it weren't for not having many friends, I'm actually 
quite looking forward to going.
Thanks so much.
Vejas
