This previous year I was new to a school and made friends with all seniors. Now, that im a senior and they all graduated, i dont know ONE person. I'm not exactly good at making friends, i was lucky enough to meet them last year. (People at my school have already formed their cliques and dont really accept anyone.) I used to be extremely outgoing and have tons of friends at my old school, but im a completely different person now that im in an unfamiliar place. So now that school is coming up, im not sure what to do the first couple weeks of school. I know it'll take time before i make friends, because thats just me. So in the meantime, do I just sit by myself during lunch and hope that someone will come up to me? I'd rather be the one to go out and make friends, but it wont happen. Also, if you saw someone sitting by themself would you honestly go up to them? Any advice?

I don't suggest you sit by yourself during lunch, hoping someone will talk to you. Maybe for the first few days, but not for weeks. If you saw someone sitting by themselves, it depends. If I think I'll like them I'd definitely talk to them. But if it someone that wouldn't seem to click with me I wouldn't go up to them right away. I suggest you do the same.
Just keep your ears and eyes open to be able to see what kind of person everyone is and what kind of group they're hanging out with. Once you think you've found a group you'd like to be a part of, I'd just ask if you could sit with them since you're new and that'd be cool if you could get to know them better. And from then on it should get a little easier.
Join some clubs and see if you can connect with any of the members. Even if you don't make friends from the clubs (But you probably will) at least you'll have somewhere to go while you're trying to make friends.
It wouldn't hurt to get "study buddies" either. Maybe you can get their number, sn, email etc and hopefully you can eventually make friends with them that way.
Good luck!

well my advice is to join clubs at your school, you could make some friends there, and like another person said, just be friendly and get up the guts to talk to someone. Ask about homework for a class you have with some one, or ask about there summer, make any sort of small talk and maybe it will lead to a friendship, but the best thing is to be yourself

First off,i know how you feel. I was outgoing and popular in my old school and now that i moved im all shy and stuff. I hate it. Dont change for people either. Well,i think you should talk to the people in your classes often. Unfortunently[[sp?]], not everyone will go up to you and invite you to there table and they wont say "will you be my friend?" like in kindergarton. So i think you should sit at a table with people and maybe eat quietly and see what they're doing or talking about. Then after you think you no a little about them just go up to them at the table and talk about it. Jump into a conversation. They might think your being anoying,so dont be a blabber and go "yeah omg like omg ya and blahh" Just let other people talk and when they say something funny just laugh a little,and listen to them. In some school you have to be the one that takes charge,so i think you should really just go for it and give it your all! If someone was sitting by themself i would go up to them and invite them to my table for sure. You have to be nice also. Well i really hope you find good friends and i hope you dont end up the way i did good luck

All I can say say is, be yourself. You already know that there isn't much you can do, but wait. Follow your heart, be really nice to everyone and maybe even help someone out you don't know. There's always a way to make friends, keep that in mind.

ok, i would go up to someone. life is short, so live it. if you see a person that is in one of your classes sitting alone,go up to them and say " hey dont we have ____ together?" and just say wat you thin about the teacher and stuff. then say your name and blah blah...there ya go, ya made a friend.
