Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
This is a hard one. It always has been in sociability and always will be. First off.. Spell english. 'How to make friends"
Second of all. Depending on if you are a guy/girl. You will be interested in different things. And depending on what grade you are in, you will either have many classes or not alot.
Fact is you have to find people with common interests. Say you heard about a concert some where or an event that is happening in your city. As some of the people around you if they are interested in such event and see if they would like to hang. It's not easy. But it can be an opening to being friends.

You don't mention if you are asking due to having social anxiety/shyness. If you do, let me know and I have special instructions for that issue.
Otherwise, remember a smile goes a long way towards meeting and making friends. A smile on the face of another person signals the message that they are friendly and approachable.
Whether in school, at work or in the neighborhood, the way to make a friend is to be friendly, smile and say hi and start a conversation with a person. The best thing is to use something you already have in common, having same class, they are playing a song thats a fav of yours, they are wearing a tee of a favorite team, etc... If you start looking, you will find possible openers for conversation and if both of you enjoyed talking to each other then you say something like, hey i really enjoyed talking with you, Wanna hang out some time soon? Trade phone numbers. Dont fall into a pattern of just texting the person, cus thats not spending time together really getting to know them.
It might seem scary to be the one who speaks first and approaches others first but generally, the majority of strangers out there are personality types that are friendly, social and approachable. Only a slim margin like to be left alone. So in numbers, thats like maybe 2 in every 100 people you talk to, at least from my experience its been so.
Also, do not ask any close ended questions, meaning one that can be answered by the other with a yes or no cus after they've given a yes or no, you have nothing that they'd revealed to use to launch your next question, statement, or story about you or an experience of yours.
Example: Instead of asking So do you like grunge music? You ask: "I hear you listening to grunge music. What other kinds of music do you like?
If you need more ideas for how to start conversation (which is key to meeting people)let me know some things you participate in (clubs, sports, hobbies) and if trying to make friends at school, work, elsewhere, all of the above, and I'll see what I can do to help more.
Good luck!
