I'm starting High School this tuesday.
I'm not scared or excited like everyone else is.
My friends are all going to different schools.
And I have a problem with meeting new people.
I have trust issuses with everyone around me(including strangers), so I try not to get close to anybody.
Everyone judges me as mean because of that.
Because of my hair, kids think I'm emo. and I'm tired of only making friends with kids who listen to emo music.
so, what do I say or do?
I want to meet all different types of people.
and this year isn't a good year for me, so I want to meet people who can help me get through everything. (link)

Join clubs, play sports, get active. In classes, start small conversations with people. If it seems like someone would be a good friend, start asking them to do things with you. Some schools even have new students meetings for new students to meet people. You should look into that.
If there's a homeroom or study hall in your school, it would benefit you to meet all the people you can because most likely your homeroom won't ever change (at least at my school). Just ask people what classes they're taking, what sports they play, about the school, etc.
I've been in your situation twice. I know what it's like to be shy and not know anyone. Just trust that everything will go alright and you will meet people. Maybe not in one day, or even one week, but eventually you WILL find friends just like you. Believe it or not, I spent a year of middle school pretending to be friends with people who I had nothing in common with so that I wouldn't be alone. It wasn't until the year after that when I met my true friends.
I'm probably the shyest, most insecure person you could meet, and if I could make friends at a new school, anyone can. Even you. =)
Not to sound cliche, but best of luck to you!
