Perhaps the best way to think about making friends is to decide what makes a friend. I asked a group of 13 year old boys and girls to come up with a list of what they liked about their friends. They said that good friends:
show an interest in what people do
are good at giving compliments without going overboard
go around with a pleasant expression on their face
laugh at people's jokes
are kind
ask, not demand, to join in
offer to help others with work or carry things
invite people to do something
hang around places where other students are
are welcoming to new students
are good at thinking of something interesting to do
are willing to share
are humorous and tell jokes
are fair
are good at organising games or activities
I then asked the students to think about ways NOT to make friends. They thought that doing the following would turn people off:
being bossy
telling others how to play
telling others they are doing things wrong
talking about yourself all the time
being mean
talking about other students behind their backs
being negative and sarcastic
being too intense or serious all the time
bragging
moaning all the time
being a bully
claiming credit for something you didn't do
lying or cheating

Well, don't know how old you are, but I guess school might be a little "cliquish". When you get older, like in college, then it gets easier. Then as an adult, it should be pretty easy as most of the adults by then are more open and not as much into looks and such. But, I would say to put a smile on your face, and just go up and st art a conversation, if they do not want to talk then just go on to the next one. You are working your way through people who are like you and like you for what you are. Asking questions also is good because you get people to talk about themselves and that is always good, as they would rather talk about themselves than you, that is just the way it is.
If they ask about you, then you have the door open, weigh what you say, until you know more about them. Don't get too opinionated until you know them better. I think it is easy to get friends, just work the numbers and don't get too hung up if some of them don't like you, so what????

Be a friend to others, smile, say nice things, ask how others are. Nice people have lots of real friends. Mean people--well, you know George Bush....they only have friends no body else likes.
