new...and making friends
I'm new this year at a school and I thought it would be so easy to make friends, and it has been thanks to basketball. But during school, the most people ever say to me is like...Hi! and then when basketball practice comes around they're all crazy. I'm a VERY talkative person, but going to the same school for all my life (except this year) I know what it's like to have a new girl and instantly not like them because they're not as tight with your friends or whatever. I'm saying I need to sharpen my social skills, but asking questions like, "So...what do you like to do?" isn't a question I'd normally ask. It's odd asking questions like what's ur fav color and stuff....so i need help...

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
Making new friends at a new school can be tough, especially when you don't know what to say. Anyway, if you see a person you wanna be friends with, make a conversation starter. Like go up to a girl and say, "Hey, cute shirt! Where did you get it? I might think of getting one" or something to that point. Ask what their favorite type of music is and all that stuff. Be friendly, and that will help you be social. I hope I helped some.

Well, compliments usually work. Sincere ones, when you really do like something. If someone has a kick ass pair of pants on, say "Hey, your pants kick ass! Where did you get them from?" and strkie up a converstion, thats what I usually do. And if your talkative like me, you should make friends that way in no time. But don't complimenet things you don't like. For example is someones purse is ugly don't compliment it. Don't be fake.

well making friends actually is pretty easy. In your classes, just act friendly around them and try to include yourself with wat they r talking about. Or maybe u have something that is related to the subject that they r talking about and u can just try and add that to make confversation. Trust me, it will make people see that u r a great and friendly person to hang around with. Have making new friends! If u ever need a friend e-mail or IM me.

i would try to talk to them about school. talk about what classes you have. and since they have been around a while ask them which teachers and which classes you should try to avoid. and if you dont wanna talk abotu school then maybe try talking about some one you saw that you think is cute or someone you think you might like. Just be yourself!

Think of an issue that you feel strongly about. Maybe even something from a newspaper. Then ask someone else what they thing about it. You might find a new friend or a worthy adversary. What you do with it after that is up to you.

Although most have said about asking questions about classes and such, I personally would avoid talking about school. Starting a conversation about school may give the impression your a bit of a nerd. Try talking about things such as guys, clothes, up-coming events and such, share some interests and they'll share them with you. Things such as fav colours and stuff will just come naturally later on, start with the more important things. A simple "Hey, hows it going?" starts a conversation, go beyond just "hey". If you need some good convo starters just try a search engine or something on the net. Good Luck!

Try to discuss what's going on at school, like what classes you like and dislike, who gets more homework for a subject, and other things like that...
