Not always, but a lot of times not having friends in Middle School is class based. When I had this age I moved schools, in the first one I was objectively poorer than almost everyone else and the subject of bullying and loneliness. I would hide in the library during reccess not only because I liked reading, but to avoid the pain. Moved to another school were I was absolutely average socio-economically speaking, had some of the best years in my life. Rich kids are incredibly cruel.
