New Guy
There's this new guy at our school. We've already become really good friends and I've introduced him to some other people. But he doesn't seem to open up in public. (like on AIM we talk for hours, but at school it's just a simple "Hi") What can I do to make him feel more welcome?

Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
Well, for starters, actually talk to him in public. Kind of force it on him. Chances are, once someone actually takes the time to talk to him, he'll be more open in public. Don't just introduce him to people, let him stick around you and your friends while you pay attention to both, sort of meshing him into the group.

Invite him into your group of friends at lunch. Maybe he'll realize that you're trying to include him. If you talk on AIM so much, why din't you ask him while talking to him. Just ask him why he's being so distant. If that arises another problem, don't hesitate to ask me a private question!

I'd get on the AIM and ask him why he isn't more talkative at school. Tell him you'd like to hang out there as well since you seem to get along so well on AIM. :)

some people are just like that.
they are wellllllllll..........
different!
to make him feel more welcomed, try not to invite to any public stuff.maybe he has a problem with people.

he's new. he is just shy. some people are more shy than others. just start talkin to him like you would do if you were on aim with him. after a while he'll start to feel more comfortable in a social place.

Give him the scReen names of some of youR buddies at school. That way he'll be able to feel moRe confident, and will eventually lead up to his opening up moRe. Also, tRy thReeway phone calls, and always make a point of making him feel included in the conveRsations. AnotheR thought, if you'Re school has plays, ask if he'd like to tRy out. MANY shy people become totally alive and animated on stage - 'tis it's poweR! I wish you the best of luck! Hope I helped!

I used to have a friend like that. We literally talked like 2 or 3 hours on AIM every night and then in school, she barely said hello. Turns out, she was just a bit shy. Some people are just better in social situations where they aren't face to face with the other person. I mean, I tried talking to her more in public, and she opened up a bit more to me, but she still is very shy. Just try talking to him normal at school, and he'll open up. He just needs to get used to his new surroundings, friends, and open up more =] Hope I've Helped! ♥

Just start talking to him in school like you would online. He is new, so of course he is going to be shy. Make him feel like he's been there forever.

when his on aim with you ask him why is so shy he might give you the answer to why hes shy or mayb he likes you if your a girl i can't tell becasue you don't say but if he does like you maybe its hard for him to talk to you up in person.

Well if you're talking for hours on AIM when you're next in public with him you could bring up one of the subjects you were talking about over AIM. That way he has to talk to you because he'll have to give you more than a one word answer! This will probably (and hopefully!) improve his confidence meaning that perhaps he'll approach you more often and also feel more welcome amongst everyone at school!

Ask him to hang out with you! Make him feel wanted, and it seems you do. Hug him! Get to know him for awhile, and HUG!! >:P Hugs rock... Try and introduce him to some of your friends! The more the merrier. Just try and have him get to know veryone and hang out with you when possible ^_^

He's the knew kid. He's going to be shy and feel unwelcome in a new school. He's not that way around you because you've made him feel welcome. Maybe you could ask him to come hang out with you and some of your other friends so that way he could get to know more people. Hope this helps!!
