Q: I have moved to a new place less then a year ago. I'm a student in high school. I hate it, because I can't make any close friends here, or friends that I can hang out with. I am pretty shy, and its hard for me to connect with other people.
How can I change this? What should I do?
Get involved in after school activities such the art club or any other activities you like. This may sound stupid and from a magazine but it helps you reach out way better. You could also try just being yourself and going up to people and just start a conversation. Sorry i couldn't give better advice.
