So I'm going into High School next year
All my friends are going to a Technical High school
They all left me behind
So now I'm going into High School with only a few other people I know from grade school who arent really my 'friends'
Chances are I wont even see them
How can I make new friends?
I'm really shy if I don't know someone
So I don't have the guts to just go up to someone and say hi
But when you get to know me I'm outgoing and just a bubble of energy
But I'm fat...do people like ebing friends with fat girls?

First build your self confidence and remember your pretty, and whatever people say there just trying to ruin your self esteem to make them feel better about themself and feel "higher" than you. I use to feel the same way and I discovered I like myself the way i am. And then try to be friendly. Give people compliments and try to pick out people who look nice. A lot of nice poeple will actually come up to u. There's always nice people and don't listen to what people say, its not worth it! Everyone can always make friends, and i'm sure you will too!
Hope i helped! [ Alilash's advice column | Ask Alilash A Question ]

Share experiences (if you've had any) about the teacher. Ask if they're in any clubs. Ask if they're from the area.
As the days go on, keep making conversation and when you feel comfortable, ask them to go catch a movie sometime or go out to lunch.
Try and make little conversation with as many people as you can and just be yourself: outgoing and bubbly.
I know you'll make friends in no time. And your weight should never be a factor in making new friends. All that should matter is how wonderful of a person you are. [ sugarplum07's advice column | Ask sugarplum07 A Question ]

I found that I tried to be friendly to everyone, because most likely alot of the people are going to be in the same situation as you are. Just hang in there. You'll make friends. don't worry.

From what you say, you seem like a positive, awesome girl, which is what really matters. Plus, I'm sure you won't be the only big girl at your school. If people chose friends by how they looked, then they aren't real friends.
You don't have to just go up to someone and start a convo. Just make "small talk" with the people who are sitting around you. Or every time you have a question, ask the person next to you. Eventually, you will talk more and it'll lead up to sitting together at lunch, etc. Trust me, you'll be fine, just don't be scared and be yourself!
