Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?
Maybe give some free advice about: School?
what i did is i sat by my self for a day then i asked a random group of ppl of the same sex if i could sit w/ them. They said yes. so i sat with them. Then i found someone else who was sitting all alone(same sex as me) and we sat together. well.. actually she came to me. Now we are like best friends. Just if you sit with someone who is the same sex as you and is the same grade, just ask them. They probably wont turn you down. If they do, then you didnt really need to sit there ne wayz. But i would sit by myself for a day so i could see where other ppl my age and sex would sit. then the next day, go talk to them.

Hey. I'm sort of like you, so I'll give you some tips. Ok...
First of all, is this a new school? (Are you just starting high school? or middle school?) If it is, I recommend that you try to talk to people in class and make new friends. (I know you said you can't make new friends, but I'm telling you, keep on trying!)
Laugh at things people say (when they're trying to be funny), ask people things, and say hi and smile at people.
Also, do sports and clubs and try to talk to people outside of class.
That has done wonders for me. Sports are the best way possible to make friends. I'd doing cross country, and I've made friends with just about everybody, so that's awesome. Haha. The way I figure it, is that you are going through a lot when you do something like running, so that sort of bonds you with the other people. Also, it's an extra 2 hours or so you spend with these same people, so you're bound to make friends no matter what. (As long you're a nice person.) Sports give you a great excuse to say stuff like "Are you going to practice?" "I didn't see you at practice. Where were you?" "Where's practice today?" during school.
Ok lastly, go SIT with someone at lunch. Don't sit by yourself. I'm serious. Just go up to someone from a class who looks friendly, and ask if you can sit with them. Most likely, they aren't going to say no.
Good luck!

No! Don't sit alone... be open to new things. No need to be lonely. Maybe if you know someone from one of your classes you could just pick up small talk, and ask to sit with them! Hopefully they will react kindly. No matter how "different, quirky, odd" these people may be, talk to them anyway. It's good to have a diverse group of friends, and rather important if you ask me. You can also make friends by getting a drink or something by the vending machine and just picking up small talk with anybody you see there... like "they charge a 1.25 for this crap?" which is a little more sarcastic or if someone needs an extra nickel/dime be like "Oh I can hook you up with that" .... just pick up the opportunity whenever, wherever it may come to you. If you really have trouble making friends, you can start to do homework at lunch, and eventually someone will probably feel bad and say something to you. Or you could read a book, magazine, make some cell calls in the bathroom, doodle in a notebook. You'll get the hang of it... and I'm sure you won't be lonely for long. If it really is that bad maybe try getting a schedule change? I hope that works out for you. Good luck and have fun!
