Trouble making friends..
So, i just started freshmen year about three weeks ago and i yet to make one single friend. I see alot of cool looking people who seem to look like they're interesting in the same music as me by their style but i haven't worked up the courage to talk to anyone yet. I'm like, afraid they'll think i'm some sort of weirdo, hah-ha.I don't know, i guess i'm just being a bit self-consious.. eh, any tips on being a bit more social please?
Oh! & any REALLY cheap sites where i could buy band shirts and bags and such? Lol. :P

hmmm... well it was tough for me to make friends too and I'm a freshman also. but you could join a club and try to make friends that's kinda easy. and don't be afraid to talk to anybody. gather up your courage and say "hi!" or like in class when you don't get anything , ask someone who sits next,in front,or behind you and say hi my name is blah blah blah. it's an easy way. you could also try to sit with people who look like freshman to you. hoped I help and don't worry I bet you'll have lots of friends by the end of the year.

First of all are you a freshmen in HS or in college?? In college it is EXTREMELY hard to make new friends.. I went through the same thing last year. But you have to just have the self confidence that there are tons of people around you that will like you if they get to know you..
You've probably heard this a million times but the best way to meet friends is by joining some kind of group. Weather you want to play vollyball, be a cheerleader, be in SGA or even on the math team! Everyone meets people much much more easily when they're in a smaller group of people that share a common interest. So pick something that you think fits you best and you'll most likely be surrounded by people that you'll get along great with. If you're in college you should definately consider joining a Sorority or Fratenity. It's probably too late for rush but you can do it next year or even in spring. I am soo not the typical sorority girl but I rushed and even though I didn't end up joining anything, I met a LOT of girls that weren't anything like what I thought they'd be and now I hang out with a few and meet all of their friends! In highschool I met a lot of people through SGA and I cheered for one semester but it got me a lot closer to a group of girls had lived in my neighborhood but never hung out with and we ended up really close and I still visit them in their various colleges. Even if you do out of school activities like a youth group, gymnastics, football/cheerleading, even getting a job whatever, you're bound to become really close with the people you are doing those things with all the time.
It may seem awkward at first but if you just strike up a conversation about anything it gets a lot easier. From just making small talk you'll get to having conversations and from there you'll become closer with lots of people and eventually find your group you belong with..
Wow sorry I think I wrote a lot..
Well best of luck! No matter what, enjoy the year!
