In soccer, or drama, or find an after school activity that meets your interests so you can meet people with the same interests and intentions. You'll get along if you all like the same thing, hopefully. As much as I hate to say this, your true friends are the ones you had since 2nd grade, or elementary school, or sometime way back when etc. I went to a new school this year, and I know I have ONE TRUE friend. I've been friends with her for NINE years, since kindergarden and we know we won't backstab each other because it was just be so out of what we both believe in. I'm not saying you can't find friends at your new school, you CAN find them. But before you start scheming for new friends I suggest you try to get back together with your old group of friends.
Be yourself.
I myself, have not overcomed shyness either and I know it's really hard. But at the beginning of the year, I started being a little more friendly and weird in a good way to one of my best friend's guy friend and we clicked instantly and we're great friends now because of it. Be friendly, outgoing, and just who you are! I know this one girl who was the weirdest girl, SO judgmental, so loud, so crazy, and she was herself and everybody loved her for it. But she snapped a lot too. Anyways, bottom line: If you're not yourself around people they won't like you for who you are or for the right reasons etc.
Compliment somebody, talk about bands, movies, where you're from etc.
Hope I helped. [ Depressed_Poet's advice column | Ask Depressed_Poet A Question ]
