Just Cut off Sidewalk Friends, How to find Fastlaners in High School?

[hypeking]

After realizing that I couldn't change the habits of my extremely un-driven and lazy friends, I decided to cut them off and just avoid them as much as possible. It came to a point where I became influenced by their sidewalk mentality (ie: gossiping, laziness) and I had enough of it.

The thing is, I've cut off most people already and the only friend I have that understands and is pursuing the fastlane is in college.

It's not that I mind being alone, sometimes I actually prefer it because I am much more efficient without others holding me back, but the fact that I am still a sophomore in high school, it gets lonely sometimes while in school.

Have I made a bad decision by cutting out sidewalk friends from my life? How do I go about to meet other like-minded individuals who want something more out of life...
