New School
I currently attend a small private school and am going to a huge public school for high school. I'm really shy, and worried that I won't make any friends. Does anyone have any specific tips for friend-making without being annoyingly outgoing? Thanks! <33

just be yourself. i know everyone probably has told u that but i say that u just go up to someone who looks nice and just say hi and start a conversation, and don't follow them or anything (the annoying part) and just try to not be 2 outgoing but not 2 shy! i hope i helped!

Just be you. If your going to be different your not going to be able to show them the real you. Just be nice to everyone and when you see someone you would like to hang out with go up to them and say hello.

Just be yourself. Trust me... it works, lol. I started a new school in August and I'm really shy so I was worried that I wouldn't have any friends, but I met a few people on my first day that are still my friends now. I hope you make some new friends soon. =)

be confident in yourself, like in classes and stuff start up conversations w/the people who sit near you you'll make friends that way and also do a sport like cross country or track you meet a TON of new people

don't worry you'll make friends. when i first came to a new public school i was really shy, but people just came up to me and showed me around. we were friends for the year but then i found my true friends and its awesome! so just be yourself and it will come to you in a second without trying. :) h.i.h.

1st of all be yourself .
2nd be cool by being you .
3rd don't stamar or stutter .
4th don't hold your head down when you're walking because they see this as a weakness .
5th look a person in the eye when they're talking to you . This shows strength .
6th Don't talk about anyone behind their back ( out of their presence ) because:
a) You will get into some sort of dispute maybe physical .
b) This shows them that you are real and that if you got something to say you say it to their face .
c) it shows that you are honest .
7th don't be too nice because they'll see this as a weakness and they will try to TRY(MESS) with you .
8th Give respect and ask for some . Somebody disrespect you, you put them in their place .
9th Don't be a slut or a whore . Don't be a bitch .
You can either be a stuck-up bitch or you could be just a bitch .
10th if someone tells you something don't tell someone else .
11th Don't let guys get too fresh with you because they can damage your reputation and you don't want a rep na dif you have one, it better be clean . REPUTATION IS ALMOST EVERYTHING . But just be you and be cool like you are .

Don't sweat it, really. It happens easily and naturally. Even if you're NOT outgoing at all you'll find people like you. That's the magic of high school.

honestly its a breeze when i first moved into my highschool i was put in classes with none of my freinds and my worst enemy but if you get nice teachers they might assign someone to show you about. it will be hard theres no doubt about it but once uve settled in its great. basicly JUST BE URESELF

You will make friends, but it might take time. Not everyone will feel comfortable around you at first, but once you get to know them, it will feel more comfortable chatting with them. Take extra activities to meet new people, and when you do, just be friendly. There will be a few people who like you and will find out you're a nice person. When you see someone reading a book, talk to them about that subject and see if you have something in common with them.

TRy getting involved in afteR school activities and pRogRams, that's a fantistic way to meet people! And comment in class a lot, that Really does get eveRyone's attention. PeRhaps you should tRy to look youR best at all times as well. It's kind of sad that I have to say that, but some people don't give otheRs the time of day unless the appRove of theiR physical appeaRance. My guess would be you wouldn't want any fRiends like that in the fiRst place though, but what do I know. And you ought to be happie knowing that high school isn't always what you see in movies -- people aRen't all stuck up on looks, because at this point in life we know theRe's moRe to people than what's on the outside, and high school is tough enough with the school woRk alone, so no one wants a haRdeR time that it has to be -- just tReat people with Respect and I think you'll do alRight. I wish you the best of luck! Hopefully I've been some kind of help heRe! =D
