No friends


Question Posted Thursday December 2 2004, 5:00 pm

I just moved to a new school and I'm finding it really hard to make some friends (i'm in 9th). and it just gets really lonley on the weekends because I don't like do anything. And my friends from my old school, I don't talk to them anymore. I don't know if there is any advice you can give me (besides that whole join a sport because I am doing a sport in the spring) and join a club because I am already in some and they arent very helpful with meeting people. Any advice??

A good way to make friends is to be outgoing! One day in the hall just pick out a person, any person, walk up to them and introduce yourself. I know it may be difficult being the new kid in school to just walk up to a person and say hi, but you have to try. If they're not interested in being your friend at least you know one more person at your new school. I hope I helped answer your question.

you may be shy at your new school...but a good way to make friends is just go up to people and introduce yourself! something like "hey, i'm new at this school, just wanted to say hey. i'm *name*" it may be hard at first...but just make yourself do it! Start talking to people in the lunch lines at school, accidently run into someone and say sorry, give smiles to random people. it'll all work out

ok, i'd totally take the advice of the people who said to just start talking to people. when i was in 7th grade, i met one of my best friends at our bus stop just because she said hi. it turned out she was in my basic ed class, and now we're juniors and still really close, with a great group of people.

good luck!

introduce yourself! even if its just random people in the hall, sure some people with think your kinda weird but you never know some people might be in the same boat you are and they may find you friendly.

Just try to get yourself noticed. I mean don't do anything stupid, like if you are really loud then just be yourself. But if you really quiet then just try to go up to someone and start talking. I know it will be hard but just try, it never hurts to try.

dinoold answered Thursday December 2 2004, 7:08 pm:
ok so the club did not work..any sports teams you can join?/How about church activities...

There has to be ONE person there that likes the same stuff you do.

can you go to any parties..maybe the person giving the party is lame..but somone there might be interesting.

I moved several times as a teen..it usally took 3 months to get inot things..and event hen..i really had to wait till the next year...9th is tough..it is the hardest year as you are the rookie...

Anyonline communities that are in your town where you can meet anyone??

How about a part time job on the weekends?

Well I would go out there an introduce yourself to differant people. Go see if there are any people in your school who seem to be in the same situation as you, or somebody that doesn't have a lot of friends. Don't be afraid of what people say about them though because you never know what they're really like until you go and really get to know them. Good Luck!

IF you do well in school, offer to help someone in one of your classes who needs it. If you do a good job, they'll thank you and you could prolly become friends with them and a few others. Hope i helped!

I don't know how to really address this other then to say to just be yourself. i've heard that if you carry an interesting object around where others can see it it helps bring up conversation starters. That might help. you may want to try to talk with people from your classes and see if they want to get together with you to do homework or study for upcoming tests.

Dear No Friends,
That is a good question.If you have a screename why don't you ask some people if they want to talk online sometime or ask if someone will call you and make friends that is what I would do or I would go to my classes and talk to a study buddy or get one.

xoxMayjoNxox answered Thursday December 2 2004, 5:26 pm:
If you want to make friends at your new school, just talk to them. Talk to somebody that seems nice. If you're too afraid to start a convo, ask somebody if they can tell you what page your on, or to pick up your pencil. Chances are, they will start a conversation and you will make new friends. Also try going to a dance or something! x3 Mayjon

jamziix16 answered Thursday December 2 2004, 5:25 pm:
you should go to local places around the town.. like, the mall or the arcade if ur a gamer! maybe you could approach somebody or something, you just can't be shy, and if someone doesn't wanna talk about it, just shake it off. don't let it bother you. i hope i've helped!

It's always hard to make friends in a new school. One way to get to know people is just my talking to them. Like in one of your classes just start talking to some one and if they seem intersted in you then ask them if they wanna go to the movies or something. In a way it seems kind of psycho but trust me you'll make some friends!
