moving
my family wants to move, weve been in the same house about 11 or 12 years, and we just want a change. i always was against it because i didnt want to leave my friends and school, my brother didnt really care it seemed, and my parents decided not to move because of our education and stuff. but i honestly dont like any of my friends anymore except like 2, so we are getting the house ready hopefully to try to sell by next summer. i know of a lot of my friends who have moved and changed schools and loved it way more. also my mom and sister changed schools in high school and it was better for them. however i know of 2 of my guy friends that hate it at there new schools and dont have many friends. as long as i talk to people and try to meet people and stuff, i will most likely make friends right? i know nobody can predict if im going to make friends, but i mean like, from any personal experience, is that the best way to make good new friends? and how do i stay out of the wrong crowd (aka smokers..etc)? i want to basically start over and pick the right people to be friends with, because my decision where i live now, was not that great. obviously you can tell, ive never been the new kid ever. ive gone to the same elementary, middle, and high school that everyone follows. so i would appreciate your help a lot. i dont want to move hoping it will be a great change, to just be let down and stuck with it. thank you so much =] by the way im a freshmen if that helps any!

i've moved a lot! and of course the best way to make friends, is to talk to people and be yourself. about trying to stay away from the wrong crowd, you just have to follow your gut. and also just be yourself, because trust me when you start being someone else, you will end up in the wrong crowd. i know from experience. by being yourself, you will find friends who share the same interests as you, and hopefully find long-lasting friends you can relate to and depend on.
good luck with the move! :)

That's so cool that you have the guts to just move. I don't. :)
Joining clubs and talking to people are hands-down the best ways to meet people.
Just don't hang out with stoners if you don't want to. I'm friends with those types of people, but I'm never around them when hey are hiigh, drunk, or in the process of becoming high or drunk.
Good luck!!

Any move can be a hard move. And you are right, the best way to make new friends is to talk to people. Something else that helps is being "the new kid" from out of town or something. For some reason, those kids tend to get more attention. As for how to avoid the "wrong" crowd. I don't know for sure hwo to avoid that but you can lear pretty quickly which ones are in the wrong crowd if you pay attention to what is going on in the school.
