Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
When you go to talk to someone, you should walk up and simply introduce yourself. If they are at school, ask them about their classes, events that happened at school within the week before, etc. If they aren't just start talking about where you are (a sports event - ask them about the score, etc.)
Never think you are any less than anybody else. Just be yourself, be confident, and good luck!

Ask questions you already know the answers to that arent blatantly obvious. Most people like to talk about themselves. Give them that opportunity.
As a guy in college, my most common opener is "what are you studying and why?"
Yeah, theyve probably told a thousand people about this. But most people are perfectly happy to add one more. I mean, if you are interested in their life, why shouldnt they tell you about it?
For people in high school, think about what you know about a person. Ask them something about it. While they answer, you have time to think. Its also a good way to gauge interest. If you ask someone some questions and respond to their answers, and they dont follow suit, usually it shows that they dont really care. Theyre happy to talk about themselves but arent interested in you in any way. Move on. Sometimes its not a great time, and they may have other reasons for not asking, but generally a lack of interest is pretty blatantly a sign that you should try yourself elsewhere.
Let others talk about themselves, and talk about yourself a little. Dont go on any long stories unless they have serious entertainment value or the other person is expressing interest.
Good guidelines, if you want more detail ask me a few questions privately. I enjoy verbal fencing with people so Ive kind of refined my methods over the years.

Well i'm really really realllly outgoing and have lots of friends so i think i'll be good to answer this question. there aren't specific question you should ask, just don't be shy. to start a conversation you can complement someone on their clothes or hair or something, and then just go from there. i call that an ice breaker, cuz it's a conversation starter. if there's someone you have in mind that you want to be friends with, start a conversation about something you know they like so they'll want to talk about it. Like if someones into sports start talking about how the red sox just won the world serious. if someone's into fashion start talking about your favorite stores, stuff like that. don't be one of those girls who stands in the corner not talking, because the sexiest thing about a woman is confidence:] Hope I helped!
