Oh boy. The subjective is not fact. Something happened to you, I get that. Unless this is a comedy routine, you can't say "whats the deal with everyone doing X" if you can't show any figures.

And beyond that, even if you had figures, you couldn't infer intent. To the point about being surrounded by people, School has never been a great social scene. I'm 28 now, you know how many people I still speak with from HS...maybe 5. Friends based on geographic location doesn't make a terrible amount of sense. You're surrounded by people if you're in prison too, doesn't mean I want to speak to them.
