Altruistic answered Tuesday July 18 2006, 2:33 pm: I transferred to a new school in my sophmore year and it might seem somewhat hard to make friends since usually everyone forms groups or cliques during their freshman year, but if you start talking to people and just be friendly, it's not that hard to make friends. Talk to people in class, lunch, etc even if it's a 'stupid' question like 'do you know what time it is?', or 'what is the hw?'. Also, look out for people who are in one or more of your classes. It's easier to make friends with them, since if you see them again you can be like "oh! you are in my 'math' class too arent you?" This way you can also find someone to check multiple homeworks with. Basically, just be yourself and just act as if it's your freshman year and you're making new friends and such. It's not that scary and can be very fun.

That way, they know you for you and they're attracted to the real you. My rival school is called Edgewood, and there are quite a bit of people who have came from that school to ours and they didn't have any problem with making friends and being accepted. They joined teams and clubs that our school had to offer and they fit right in with everybody else.

No one likes a witch. Be friendly, go up to people in your class and just introduce yourself. Just be confident, and you will make friends in no time. Hope I helped :] [ lookitslorin's advice column | Ask lookitslorin A Question ]
