I am going into 10th grade and transferred to a new school over the summer. How do I make new friends when school starts? I am the shy type and people usually mistake me as a B****, but i'm really not. And everybody will have already made friends from freshman year...what should I do to make friends? because I know that I can't just wait for them to come up to me. I figure this is basically my last shot to turn myself around in high school and I want to make the best of it and have a fun time. I plan on trying out for the dance team and doing the multi-cultural club. But i need input from u people. Plus--- any suggestions where to shop for school clothes? What electives should i choose to have fun and also make new friends? Thanks!!

since you are going to a new school than it would be the perfect time to just start all over. maybe some people would mistake you as a B**** becuase of some things that you did you should try to not do that. diffenetly go out for as many electives as possible. for ex. a sport maybe. after school activities are good to make friends becuase than all of the people there have something in common so you will find something to talk about with them for sure. i know it will probably be tough to just go out for something in a school where you wont know anyone, but dont worry everything will turn out great! also give people a chance to talk to you dont push them away. most important be yourself! dont try to be someone that you are not it will backfire on you. dont worry about what people say about you in the beggining becuase they dont even know you they are just talking. once they get to know you then everyrhing will be good. i think the main reason that many people especially in high school are not confident is becuase of all the people that act like they are better than you. dont worry about those people the ones that are the popular ones in HS, because once HS is over most of the time they arent much because they were to busy worrying about being at the top and about how they looked and all the things that seemed cool to them in HS. they just dont realize that will not matter out of HS.
i would say that a good place to shop is gordmans, deb, jcpenny, t.j.max or just anyplace that has your style of dressing. oh and go out for an elective that interests you that way you can make friends that like the same thing as you. remember BE YOUR SELF! and everything will turn out great. oh and have fun! good luck! peace.

Just try not to be shy. Put your best out there. If you see someone who you would like to be a friend, just go up and talk to them. When you start doing the club and dance team, you will be friends with all of them. If I could do it all over again, I wouldn't be shy at all. They are just normal people. Get out there and live life to the fullest.

Take the easiest classes you can. It will give you more time to focus on making friends. It really doesn't matter where you get or what brands of clothes you buy. Smile as often as possible (it makes others like you more). Let others have the spotlight as often as possible. high school is the easiest time to make friends.
