emster812 answered Saturday August 13 2005, 8:59 pm: Be yourself. If you decide to get friends by acting a certain way just so they will "accept" you, don't. You will eventually get tired of putting up an act anyway. Besides, friends are supposed to like you for the real you.
Talk about things that interest you with different people. If you find that someone else shares the same interests that means you can always start up an easy conversation with them. Good qualities in a friend.
The six people you know- are you friends with them? If so, try to hang around them and meet their friends. If your original friends share the same feelings toward things that you do, their other friends will probably do the same.
Good Luck! *emster* [ emster812's advice column | Ask emster812 A Question ]
bsktballchick45 answered Saturday August 13 2005, 3:03 pm: You should join clubs and after-school activities. If you like sports, try-out for the team. Say hi to people, be nice, don't judge people right away.

modelkate11 answered Saturday August 13 2005, 10:24 am: this is just what happens in my high school. the shortest person (who is about your height) gets a lot of attention. it might start out as teasing but then if you have people's attention then you can become friends.

xomegaroni answered Saturday August 13 2005, 9:25 am: start making conversations. usually people don't like to be the first one to start talking, so you should. that way people will get to know you and start asking you to hang out and stuff, and begin to be friends with you. also, if you do only know 6 people, see who they hang out with. you could be friends with their friends and do stuff together. im sure you'll probably meet alot of people in your classes, or at lunch.
VainTaraLynn answered Saturday August 13 2005, 5:06 am: Be outgoing, dont be shy. Ask around, talk to people you dont know. Join clubs, after school activities, town sports, anything of that nature. If there isnt any time to do that, then just walk in there and talk to people and make friends that way. Confidence is the key =) [ VainTaraLynn's advice column | Ask VainTaraLynn A Question ]

SoNotLegal answered Saturday August 13 2005, 2:18 am: Haha... you're short.
Sorry. Anyway... just smile a lot -- most of the time, people will come to you. And if they don't, sit with people at lunch... strike up a conversation. Or talk to people before/during/after class. Ask them what class they have next... maybe you can walk to class together & get to know each other!
