im a freshmen. i have a lot of friends, but only like 2 that are true friends. the problem is all my friends are like changing and stuff. some of them are becoming big druggies, some have become huge sluts and whores. i dont want to stop talking to them or something, i just want to make more, better friends. its not only that there slutty or druggies, its that they sometimes ditch me and my other friends to go do that stuff, and then tell people they barely know about it but completely lie about it to us. ive talked to them and they know i dont like it, but there not going to change for me or anything. its hard to find a new true friend all of a sudden i know, but how do i atleast meet more people, with 2nd semester coming up? besides talking to them and introducing myself and stuff..please and thanks!

Just be yourself. Be the genuine you. A sincere smile would definitely make a good first impression. Be neat and presentable, c'mon no one would really approach such a messy-haired and dirty-clothed person right? share your notes and try to start a conversation in a way that you want to get to know the person you're talking to not talking about yourself.. Lastly, respect comes in handy in every starting relationship. [ pickaboo88's advice column | Ask pickaboo88 A Question ]
Igotamonopoly answered Tuesday January 2 2007, 1:06 am: A lot of my friends were made through other friends. For example, my friends Katelyn and Allie met our friend Eric. He ate lunch with us one day and I decided he's be one of my best friends ever. It really was as simple as that.
I know few people that hang out with a group of friends that only hang out with each other, and are totally exclusive.
You and one of your friends could go somewhere, and each of you could bring a person that the other person doesn't know well. This way, you both expand your friendship circle by a person. [ Igotamonopoly's advice column | Ask Igotamonopoly A Question ]

Through good friends, I just found other ones that were worth having as well. It might take longer than a week or a day but if you just keep being friendly & meeting new people, you'll find a nice group of friends you can relate to & have fun with.
Talk to new people in your classes, play sports, & participate in activities.
