HermionesHelpPage answered Saturday July 28 2007, 5:42 pm: I know that it can be hard making firends, especially if you're quiet. but my advice is to just be yourself and put yourself out there. Set yourself challenges each day, such as:
making sure you talk to three new people each day. it can jsut be introducing yourself, or asking them something. It'll get easier once you build up your confidence. I used to be quiet but then i moved to a school where i didn't know anyone and so i had to talk to people. Once you've made yourself do it once, its not so scary. Whats the worst that can happen form putting yourself out there? Just go for it, soon you'll be saying hi everywhere you go because you'll be bumping into people you know all the time.
Hope i helped. [ HermionesHelpPage's advice column | Ask HermionesHelpPage A Question ]

Get involved in extracirricular activities- sports, clubs, hobbies, classes, whatever you like. Whether it's dance class or french club, you'll find people who like the same things you do.
Sima answered Saturday July 28 2007, 3:36 pm: I'm shy and quiet, but somehow after I met my best friend, who knew other people, then I met them and their friends, I became very outgoing, lol. :] It's not that hard, just come up to a person who looks friendly and just say 'hi' or 'whats up', and soon you'll start talking. Just talk about what you like to do, your pets, siblings. If the person doesn't look very interested, don't keep trying to talk to them.. lol, not everyone is friendly. =P
