Whenever u meet anyone then just smile at him/her. And if he/she smiles back at you then start talking to the person on any topic maybe abt studeis,or just anything........ This will be ur first conversation and after this u'll be comfortable enough to talk to that person again. TRY THIS ONCE as i've also recently joined a new school. It will work , Trust me on this

Try out for some sports. Cheerleading is always a good way to meet kids. Join the pep club, choir,band Jrotc. Become active in your school. You will meet people who have your same intrest and you never know you could be next class president. Keep your head up honey. I was a Navy brat and had to move every 2 years and it is hard. But always walk with confidence and make the first move. If you see someone sitting by themsleves go over and say hi. Your not the only one I am sure there are a few others there that are brand new. Just remember when you do have friends and you return next year to look for the newbies help them out they way you wanted to be helped. Good luck and please let me know how you are doing in your new school.

join a club or a sport, it's the easiest way to start off. I was an Army brat so moving was a part of life and my parents always moved at a pivotal moment in my life aka....half way through my freshman year. So needless to say all of the other kids had pretty much made all their friends for the rest of high school. I hated it for the first semester and then slowly I started making friends. In fact to this day I'm not sure how I got the friends I did back then.
So just look around in your classes and find that one person who doesn't say much and say Hi one day...who knows that person may be your next best friend.

Go up to people and start talking. You have to break out of your shell. When you go into class ask people what there names are. Don't wait for someone to notice you. Other then that try to socialize more and don't be shy. I know it's not easy, but at least try. You'll notice how much your life will change just by speaking up.
Peace out and best of luck!

well, to start out with why don't you find out some of the after school intermurals or clubs that everyone's in then see if you'll enjoy that club. if you're not interested...why not go into drama i mean then you'll get over your fear of shyness and get well known. I was the same way and same postion you're in now without the all same schools together part. but yeah. so give it a try. i hope everything works out ok.ok. well, goodluck. bonne chance!! (good luck in french)

Unfortunately, it is going to be hard for you to make new friends if you are shy. It would help you now and later on in life if you were able to approach people and talk to them. That will show that you are outgoing and willing to learn about others. If you are able to do this now, it will not only help you in school, but it will also help you later on in life.
Another thing that might help you, is if you are able to play sports or in band or in a club, that would give you something in common with others and give you something to talk about with them. Similar activities/interests are great conversation starters.

Joining a team or a club usually does the trick cause you get to meet people who you have common interests with and it makes it easier to relate to them. It did the trick for me in high school I was on the tennis team, I met awesome people that I still keep in touch with. Teams usually really bring people together.

sorry :-(
well just be friendly and pay attention in case someone talks to you. just be patient and act how you would around your friends.(like yourself) eventually someone will talk to you. the best thing is to go up to people (not a big group at once) and say hi. its a pain the first few days but i gaurentee you'll have at least one friend by then
good luck

Being the new girl rocks cause the guys are checking you out, just relax the hardest part at first is in lunch you will meet someone you click with and just sit with them. Eventually it all works itself out.
