Friends and Meeting New People
Ok, first of all I'm very self concious about the number of friend I have so I was wondering how many is a good amount? Or just any advice on that problem at all?
Next, I'm starting a new school next year and going to camp this year and all that jazz. Do you have any tips on making new friends?

Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
the number of friends you have is not important at all. if you have one best friend but they're everything you look for in a friend and more then be content in that one friend. its the same if you had four best friends. you wouldnt want a ton of friends who you couldnt really confide in.
it is PERFECT that you're going to camp. its kind of like a practice session before you go to school. first of all try and be friendly and if you see someone getting a soda or walking somewhere just go up to them and say hey. you dont have to be like OMG WHAT"S UP MAN. but just subtly introduce yourself. at camp everyones looking for a friend so you shoudlnt have much trouble. just remember to be yourself and if a conversation reaches rough grounds try to change the subject. have fun =]

well, quality is more important than quantity.
although, it is important to know as many people in school as possible and to get along with them
but have a few you can really trust
hope i helped xoxo

I had 3 friends when i was 10. My best friend Katherine moved away right after being a bitch to me. My friend Elena went to a huge private school. though we still talk and such, it's just not the same. My friend Alison, but she got involved too much with her boyfriends, was called a slut, and we basically lost touch *sorry if your one of them.!*
So at the start of 7th grade in the junior high, I had 0 friends. Today, at theend of 8th grade, I got 38 people to sign my yearbook, and I had only close friends sign it.
My dad always said to have just one good friend. But as I learned, having more than 1 friend is better. You need 1 or 2 friends you can trust with everything. I have gotten thoes 2 friends. Then you need the friends that make you feel good. I got thoes too. Also, the crazy cool friends who you can joke around with are always nice and then the people so different from yourself. Now, if you can find someone who has all thoes traits, thats who I would want to be friends with. That is your 1 friend. But beacuse I couldn't find that person, I made over 20 best friends whom i love so much.
But there is people like my brother who has had 1 friend for 4 years and they are insepreable. We call him his boyfriend--- this guy is like my brother, he's over all the time!
My brother and me-- we're just ourselves around people, and soon enough, you'll meet someone you really like. =] So for next year, take your time meeting people and soon you'll have as many friends as you need.
I need to do the same thing, so I wish you the best of luck. And don't loose touch with your friends now... because at least for me, these are the best friends I've ever had.

Ok you don't need a huge amount of friends. It doesn't matter how many friends you have just as long you all have fun right?
my group of friends contains of 10 people 4 boys 6 girls. Another group that use to sit next to us only had 3 people but each and everyone of us were happy with who we were friends with.
Tips on making new friends...don't be afraid to talk to them and be yourself!!

Don't be self concious! I only have like 2 close friends, but I'm fine with it. There really is no good amount, there are different opinions to different people. Plus, you shouldn't care because if you try to get friends just to have more friends, then they're not really friends.
The two steps I have to remember for making friends is:
1. Always smile and be entergetic (But don't be too enthused, because it might creep them out.)
2. When asking their name, remember it! People feel important when someone remembers their name.
If you see them in the hallway again or something, just be like Hey Monica! (sorry I'm watching friends right now, that's the name that popped up.) Also, if the person you're meeting doesn't say anything, you might have to strike up the conversation, but don't be intimidated.
When picking out which people to meet, I guess for camp you obviosusly have to introduce yourself to your roomates. As for school, find someone that's in a few of your classes that looks trustworthy and friendly.

Honestly it doesnt matter how many friends you have. Some people can have a million "friends" but they dont know anything about them.
Its best to have a few close friends that you can tell anything to, than having a million aquentionses (sp?!)
I have a lot of friends, but a few are my really cLOSE friends who i can tell anything, and the rest of ones that I'm friends with but we arent as close. As long as you have people that you can be there for and they can be there for you, and your happy, it doesnt matter how many friends you have.
To make new friends, always smile, be happy, and be nice! People dont like snobs or stuck up folk. The best way to do is greet situations with a postive attitude and try to include everybody in activitys thats a sure fire way to make new friends!

It doesn't matter HOW MANY friends you have.
As you grow up; you realize that its less
important to have more friends && more
important to have real ones.
Quantity isn't important quality is.
Just do some things you like to do. AKA play a sport and meet people who like the same sport. Join a club with people. Get involved. If someone has a problem listen to them talk about it. You can usually make more friends by being intersted in them and not trying to make your self look good.
