BlueEyedBlondie725 answered Tuesday July 6 2004, 6:06 pm: Hey. High school, they're are so many different people there. You are bound to meet someone you will relate to. Trust me, you meet TONS of new people. Everyone will talk to you. But, just try to be outgoing and talk to people. I mean you dont have to be really talkitive, but when you're in class, talk to the people next to you. Do that in every class, then you'll meet tons of new people!!

lovinyouzzforeva! answered Monday July 5 2004, 4:29 pm: Hey hun,
Just BE YURSELF! the world doesn't have nything against you, just the snobby people who have huge egos....but anyway, strike up a conversation, maybe try by your locker, or on the bus, someone older than you is even better, they can help you around the school! When you find someone to talk to, look for:
simularities in:
hobbies
friends
looks
guys
ANYTHING! You get the feeling that you've made a friend when, well, it clicks! You chat on or invite each toher somewhere. Heads up though: just because you don't have simmilar hobbies, doesnt mean u can't be friends, when difference merge thats cool too!

AEangel589 answered Sunday July 4 2004, 3:23 pm: Don't be afraid of highschool. First day, I was lost and couldn't even find the gym! The upper classman are friendly (most). Stay with your group of friends, and you won't have any problems! Make exeptions, hang out with more people. Outside your group. Join clubs and sports, so many people make a lot of friends that way! BELIEVE ME! If you are different... then the people who are just like you, will be very social. It's a good start ;) [ AEangel589's advice column | Ask AEangel589 A Question ]
