My parents felt the same way about me. They said, "You have to get involved, etc, etc, etc..." Ugh. Looking back, though, I do wish that I hadn't been such a incurable recluse. Undoubtedly, there's a lot of BS in high school, but try to make the best of it anyway as it's a very temporary situation. Remember that popularity is over-rated; you really only need one or two good friends to enjoy life.

By the way, welcome to gnet.
