kinda new @ school


Question Posted Friday February 16 2007, 6:53 pm

i moved to my new school in the start of the year; and i still have like no friends!

i mean i have people i talk to in class and stuff and people are always like "we should hang out!" but when i ask them if they want to they already have plans...even if i ask them like that monday for the next friday...

i dont wanna seem too clingy or like im trying to be "popular" or whatever by asking people too much and i dont want to be a tag-along at parties...cause i feel like i need to BEG people to let me go and i dont want to do that...

i thought "i'm new it will take time" but it's been like 6 months!

I know what you're going through. I went to a new school for high school, starting my freshman year. I made some good friends, but I still felt new all year. I didn't really start hanging out with more people until the end of the year. When my sophomore year came, though, I finally felt like one of the regulars.

You are right, it takes time. It's hard going to a new school because people already have their friends and groups set, and sometimes they're reluctant to let others in. But just keep being nice to everyone, and keep inviting people to hang out. If the same people keep rejecting you over and over, and never try to make plans with you, then they probably don't have any intentions of getting new friends, and I'd say move on. But when people tell you they're busy, just say something like "Oh, okay. Well we always have fun in class, so call me when you're free sometime, I'd love to hang out."

People will come around.

hey, well you seem to be doing all the right things. join some clubs and that way you will get to know people who have the same interests as you. hopefully there will be projects that will be needed to be done in groups, that will bring you closer to someone. my advice to you is to throw a big party. make it really cool and memorable. that way people will see how much fun you really are and want to hangout wiht you. if worse comes to worse, theres always your friends from your old school and your family. make the best of what you have. also try to think of how you made friends in your old school.
