Answer 1

First of all... stop choosing to "not" speak with anyone. A person who wants friends must first show themself to be friendly.

There are a host of clubs, teams, or activities at school. What are you interested in? Do you like basketball, football, gymnastics, track & field, etc. What are your hobbies? what are some of the special things you like to do. You can start a bowling team, a skateboard team, or bicycling team on your own... just be you... be friendly and stop sulking alone. Strik up conversations with some other young people who are positive and you'll be surprised at how easy it is to make new friends.

Life is always changing... and you need to start to learn to adapt to changes. Make the most of what talents, hobbies and interests you have.

You don't have to make friends with the entire student body... but there are sure to be some young people either at school or in your neighborhood that you have something in common with. Part of your reasoninig for not having friends by choice. You're stuck in the past....thinking too much about the old friends you had. Move on. Be grateful for the times you had with them and try to keep in touch... but seriously there are other people (school, church, or your neighborhood) who are just waiting to have a friend like you... so reach out and stop isolating your self.

Answer 2

try talking to someone. for example in gym, find another person that seems to be alone and uncomforable and ask to be partners with them. thats what i did in 9th grade (i'm a senior this year) and i made friends a lot easier. i'm still good friends with most. i know that its scary, but you'll only make new friends if you try. make an effort to say something. just a simple "hi" or something along the lines of "you look nice today" or "i like your shirt, where'd you get it?" also get involved. join clubs or sports if your school has them. i'm not athletic at all, so i joined some groups, like CLASS and got into music. and remember to always keep a smile on, people will like you better (trust me).

i hope that helps!!!
