I can't make them laugh

Check these out, too...

I have a problem with my friends at school. I can’t find a way to entertain them. Other girls always hang out at lunch and laugh and talk, but I can’t keep up. I try to tell jokes I think they will like, but they don’t.

Dear Can’t Make Them Laugh,
You don’t have to be the class clown to be one of the gang. Forget entertaining the crowd. Instead of jokes, talk about what happened on the bus. Maybe you have opinions about Britney’s meltdown of the November election. Friends will value you for remembering to say, “How’d that test go?” or “When’s your audition?” Perhaps you always have a compliment (“Fab jacket!”), an encouraging word (“You’ll be awesome!”) or the right answer (“The meeting is at 3:15”). There are many ways to be part of the group besides being a chatterbox or stand-up comic.

SERIOUS STUFF? For serious issues, don’t wait. Visit our HELP! page now.

My friends will listen to me when they are talking to me by themselves, one at a time, but when they are together I can't get one sentence in. And when they are telling an inside joke and I ask what it's about they tell me "nothing" but my other friend always tells the other about me and her inside jokes.

That sucks. One thing you can do is make stories, web comic, fan fiction, web series or something else you like that and try to make people laugh. I'm a fan fic writer and in some my story people say I made them laugh. Then you can take what you say on there and apply it to your life. You just have to have more confidence in yourself and it'll come. Trust me it did for me.
