I find myself anti-social. I don't go out with my friends, infact, i hate going out (Except going to school.). I would rather stay home and use the computer. I ask myself why. The reason i found was that i'm embarrassed that my clothes i have isnt very nice. It's not that my family is poor. My mother is usually the one buying me clothes. I also lack the confidence to put my hands into my pocket or fold my arms like what every guy does.

How alike can you be to me....Well I dont mind going to school. I just hate getting picked on because i'm a little diffrent then others. Its not what you like loike on the outside. Its the inside that couts. But most kids tend to ignore that but that dosent mean you have to.! Hope I have helped there.

My class do have a few bullies, but they were settled by the school and we are very united right now.

As an FYI, 'anitsocial'='lacking conscience', as in not caring about right and wrong, the rules, etc., criminals and such. What you're thinking is 'asocial'=without social life. I doubt this is accurate, btw.
A lot of people prefer to be by themselves, maybe you're one of them. However, if you think it's b/c of your clothes, than your social state is due more to some situation, rather than some natural tendency to want to be alone.
If your mom buys your clothes, why not go with her, and maybe make some suggestions? That way, you'll have some input into what you wear, and you might be more comfortable and self confident in social situations.

You don't need to try and fit in to feel like your part of the crowd. If you really want to make friends then you need to be yourself and find friends that have some of the same interests as you. Don't try and change who you are to fit who they want you to be. As for your clothes if you don't like them then next time go with your mom when she buys your clothes and pick out the ones you want.

You shouldn't really care about what other people think. They are helping you. They are making fun of you and I used to be poor in the 6th and 7th grade. What I always used when people always used to laugh at me for having "goodwill" clothes, I just said "Well, At least I have clothes on. I would rather wear clothes that were from goodwill than no clothes at all. Which one would you rather for me to come to school in.
Then they would get tired of teasing because I would always come up with a good joke to fool them off.

If you don't want to be anti-social then don't be. It's all about being yourself but if you want to change feel free to do that. If your not happy, keep working at it until you are.
Your post was a bit confusing, you label yourself as anti-social and you hate going out, if you want the confidence you've gotta come out of that shell, and mix with others. You've got to carry yourself hold your head up high and just be proud of what you've got.
If you don't like the clothes your mom buys, tell her. Clothes that look really good on you help boost your confidence, or buying some clothes that you know nobody else has is helpful too. When you start feeling great about yourself, and taking care of yourself other people notice. Treat other people with respect and they'll give it to you right back.

Yeah you are going to have to loosen yourself up a bit. Are you even willing to even make this change. You have to open up yourself before you open up to others.
Start talking to people you know, and start making some friends. Have fun with other people. That's why people are on this Earth so you can socialize and be friends with them. Its no fun being by yourself and I know that you feel upset when you feel alone.
I already explained about how you feel about the way you look. So all thats left is that you need to change yourself to be more open about things.
