no friends
This sounds kind of cliche, but I don't have any friends. I have acquatences (sp?) at school and really only one friend who goes to another school and she is going to another country in the summer. Its not that I'm unable to make friends. Most people that I meet like me and I like them, I'm quite friendly. I just never seem to become close with any of them. I used to be with a group of friends, but we're not in touch anymore. I don't want to be alone all summer, I was wondering of anyone could tell me where to meet new people that I could become friends with and stay in touch with. Any help along the lines of getting friends and keeping them would be very much appreciated. I'll rate high.

Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
if you have acquantences, there are TONS of ways to turn them into friends ! call up the friends you aren't in touch with anymore, & see if they want to hang out with you. anyways, back to the acquantences (however you spell that!) -- well if there are people you know & you think they would make a good friend of yours, call them tooo ! along the lines of KEEPiNG your friends --if you have a fight with them or they grow apart, call them & talk it out. however, this probably shouldn't be done on AiM if you want it to sound sincere. i hope i helped! write back if you need anything else!

Get involved in a summer camp program of your choice or you could probly becom a camp counseler...you just basicly organise activities with other kids your age for younger kids that join the camp groups...theres usualy night activitys for the counslers... many teens do it and you end up meating a tone of people... you could do it for a week or two and see how you like it and even go back the year after... you can also pick up on comunity service hours and it looks great on a college or university application(camp counsler)
Hope this helps you a litle! ;)

in the last few days of school ask people for there cell numbers. Just say "we should hang out some time, whats your number?".
Also, when signin year books, put your number too.
Its a sure fire way for when people are bored to remeber.
So, this summer, just call someone up and say "hey, you wanna hang out tonight? maybe a movie" or "hey, you wanna go to the pool today?"
just be casual!!
HAGS! (ha!) :)

For me the best place to meet people is at the pool. Alot of people go there with a couple of friends and look for people to meet. So yeah go to a pool and i am sure ull meet someone that interests u.

It sounds as though you feel quite vulnerable, as to get close to people means you run the risk of getting hurt. You can be friendly but find it hard to get closer. Possibly you have been hurt in the past and you have put up a protective barrier. On the good side, it means you are sensitive and caring.
If you want to find a new group of friends, how about volunteering for a charity? This would give you a head start in finding people who have the same interests as you, as well as giving that caring nature an outlet. The more we have in common with another person, the easier it generally is to strike up a friendship. Once you have started to build on this, talking, laughing and a shared purpose are great for cementing a friendship. Also, to be a good listener is vital, as everyone likes to think their opinions and feelings count. If you are able to make someone else feel good about themselves, the good karma comes back to you.
Hope that helps and that you have a great summer.
