I just wan't to start over and not be the shy quiet girl people at my school know me as. What are some good ways to make friends? It's pretty hard for me since i'm so shy.

This might sound crazy, but you should change your hairstyle. I think changing your look could give you a whole new confidence to be more outgoing. (I would definitely do this if I was moving.) High school is so different from middle school to me. There's a little bit less cliques, so people could be looking for new people to hang out with. When you first move, look for kids your age in your neighborhood. If see someone, you should casually go for a walk or something and maybe just be like "hey, how old are you/what school do you go to/how are you" anything to start a little conversation. If that doesn't work out, talk to someone on your bus if you go on one, or talk to someone in your first class. If you think they sound pretty cool, ask them if you could meet some of their friends or sit with them at lunch. Once you meet at least 2 people, it should be easy to go from there. I know you're thinking omg but I'm too shy to do that. Your gonna be in a whole new place though so you can be whoever you want to be. Hope I helped. If you need me to help you out anymore, you can ask my at my column or IM me xkellxx. [ xkellxx's advice column | Ask xkellxx A Question ]
