How do i make friends?
Im 13 years old and I just started jr. high. I'm in the 7th grade. The problem is that I have no friends and I don't know how to make any. I've tried to be social, but no one seems to want to talk to me. I'm in all honors classes, and the girls in the honors classes are all rich and white and popular. I don't really like them anyway, but i have every class with them. Thankfully, i have 1 really good friend I met this year. She dosnt have friends, either. How can I make friends? I want to be the popular girl i was in elementary.

Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
Look.. just be yourself and let the rest just fall into place. if they don't like you for who you are then they aren't real friends anyway. If you see someone who's having a bad day and you're not really friends with.. just be a friend to them and they should return the favor. Put yourself out there and get a reputation as a great friend.

Don't worry- thins happedend to me when I started secondary school- I didn't make proper friends for about 5 months. Don't think of the other girls as horrible just because they are white, or rich or popular. Being of a dif. race or wealth shouldn't make a diference on how kind you are and what a good friend you are.
Why don't you and your friend try talking to some other people sometime. Also, see if there is anyone else without friends and try and befriend them. Hope I helped,

There are multiple things you can do here:
Find people who dress like you
Join a club! = )
If you're into a certain band/artist wear their shirt
Look impressive every day so you get multiple comments
Be polite so people will notice you
Be seen <333
* if you need anything else dear just ask me

try going out for alot of sports. really girly sports. what ever you do, don't make friends with people who seem like trouble cause that will cause problems.

Well, you have one friend which Is a good start. You don't have to be friends with people who are JUST in your classes. You can be friends with other people. Join sports, clubs, comitees, these activities all have different people who you could be friends with. Just keep a positvie attitude. By the way, about thet 'rich girls', things arent always what they appear ~*~ Best OF Luck, Alyssa ~*~

You might not be able to be popular like you used to. People are more materialistic now, and it doesn't seem like you are like that. You probably are more down to earth than the other people in your school, so you won't be able to be "popular". You can still make friends though. It's good that you have that one good friend, but try finding friends with common interests or try talking to someone who seems like they would be a good friend. Start conversations by talking asking about what homework you have or stupid teachers or just smiling and saying hi.

Be yourself!1 good friend is all you need.But to get more start with small conversations.Then they might grow bigger!hope i helped!-nicole-

first of all dont asume that being popular is all it is made out to be. most of the people who are "popular" dont know what to do with them selves when they get to high school except to drink and have sex and be druggies.
secondly you have to be confident in yourself before anyone will notice you. for example there is this one girl in my bio class and she is pretty but she is always wearing blah clothes and never changes the pace.. well one day a couple of months ago she walked into class wearing something completely different and she looked amazing because you could tell she FELT amazing..
..the key to making good friends is being yourself.. LOL i sound like a phyciatrist! LOL.. but really..
-:kate:- hope it helps ;)

Heyy...well you seem really nice and you definently don't need them stuck up people!and since you dont like any of the people in your classes..make some that arent in your classes. During lunch or in the hall if you see people that look like they're really nice go up to them and start a conversation...but dont try too hard just be yourself and everything will hopefully go well! =) i hope that helped

Try to talk to people at places other than class. (since you dont like them) Your a smart girl to be in honor classes, use your smarts for other reasons too! Start complimenting people and starting small-talk conversations. Mainly, just be yourself. Whatever you do, NEVER change yourself to make friends. Not only will it not work, if it does they wont like you for you, and you will be comletly miserable! JUst be friendly, but not overly friendly. People like that kinda scare people. Ask some nice-looking people if you can eat lunch with them. I hope i helped!

you have to be yourself. try to get to know them through projects,walking through the halls. don't judge people so soon, they could all turn out to be friendly.

here's what you can do. if the popular girls are on the cheer leading team then maybe you can join or if you dont like cheer leading then, try to find a club where 1 of the popular girls or boys are on and try and get to know 1 of them from their. so good luck:hope i helped:if you need any more help on this question stop by my inbox so i can give you 1 of my fav. columnists:remember to stop by the inbox:GRAPE:

you and your friend need to go out to the good hangouts around your town. the movies, the mall, even some extracurricular activities going on at your school. maybe you should join in on an extracurricular activity. you are in all honors classes, is there a math team or something like that? you should approach them. good luck! hope i've helped!

Why do you kids care so much if you are popular? As long as you have true friends who love you for who you are, don't worry about it but if you insist on being popular. Try and get involved in some clubs or sports activities where you can meet people and become more socialy active. Try sitting different places at lunch with one of your friends so you can meet new people and explore your opurtunity of friends. And if you don't like the people in your classes, perhaps you could change your schedule around. If all of the popular girls seem to be not your type then why worry? Your at school to learn anyways, not to be popular. If anything, find something you have in common with these "rich white" people so you aren't so miserable in class. Just because they are "rich and white" doesn't mean you can't be social with them. Try the club and sports idea and stick by your really good friend. xoxo

why do you care so much about popularity? popularity shouldn't matter! don't let it be the number one goal in your life. it's better to have ONE good, true friend who will always be there for you, then to have FIFTY bad friends who won't always be there for you. be happy with just having one good friend.. later on in life you will make more, just give it time! and don't just be friends with someone because they are popular, that's totally stupid!

There is someone in that school who will be friends with you. How were you popular in elementary school and not in the next school? Did all of the people go to another school?
]
things change and by the time your in high shcool your group of friends will change like 4 or 5 times. The best thing i can tell you is be yourself which is highly respected in the long run.

ok well, for me i just talk to people and if they seem to enjoy listening and talking back then youve got a new friend. otherwise id just go around and see whos friendly and talk to them and be like hi my name is....... whats yours. something like that. going to a new school is hard. in 8th i had so many friends and i knew people in highschool. when i got to highschool its so diff all of them changed and i have like one or 2 friends now but i dont care, i stay with the few friends i have and make more. hope i helped, itll get better for you

Hey hun,
I know its hard to fit in right when you get into, Jr. High. Well have you heard the saying. The only way to have a friend is to be a friend :)? You should still talk to the rich, white, popular girls, because they may like you. You just have to get to know them. Compliment them on what they are wearing if you like it. Anything nice to say. Thats how I made most of my friends. Smile, and be yourself.
Good Luck and I hope I helped,
Pura Morena :)

Whoa.. do you have something against white people? lets not be racist now. Just go out to like the mall or arcade or skating rink. Thats a good way to make friends. Go to parties. What i dont get is why you arent "popular" anymore.. what happaned to your old friends? Did you move? You could join sports to like be in band, choir, or orchrestra, or be a cheerleader! -trix (plz rate)
