Please try to punctuate any questions you may post in the future. It makes it a lot easier to read, meaning you will get more help.
Firstly, I'm sure TONNES of people can relate to you right now, especially as the new school year has started.
Basically, you've just started. It's going to take perhaps a few more weeks before you start to properly bond with people and make new friends.
Don't worry about your weight. I highly doubt it's going to affect you making friends. Plus, it's good you're helping yourself by dieting. It will give you the extra confidence you need, so keep at it.
It's normal for you to feel how you are for the time being. It's a new place, new atmosphere, new people and sadly, the only way to overcome your feelings at the moment are to push yourself that little bit extra. Make the effort to talk to the people you sit next to a bit more. Ask them about their interests. It all carries on from there, trust me.
Are there any other new people? You should stick with them if there are.
Also, I would recommend talking to a teacher, or have your parents talk to one for you. You could ask the teacher to have someone look after you. Normally, at my old school, when someone new joined, a few people were told to include them in their activities and talk to them to make them feel comfortable and welcome to the new surroundings.
May seem silly, but if you have a MySpace, or something along those lines, look for people that are in your classes and start talking to them online first. It might make things easier for when you approach them at school.
If you don't want to do that, give it at least 2 weeks. I promise you things will get better.
I wish you the best of luck. and don't worry hun.
