im an 8th grader and next time im going to go to BIG high school (all middle schools around the area are going there). i really would like a lot of friends (not to be popular-but i guess it would be nice but thats not my goal).
so how do i make a lot of new friends? other than joining clubs and stuff
thanks!

Just be yourself. Dont push yourself on to anyone. Let people come to you. In High School I had no problems with getting or having friends, but now that I'm older ( much older) it seems to be not easy. I think that it is because I now push and pull.I'm not allowing slack. Remeber this for the rest of your life. Be yourself and don't make others be your friends. Allow them to want to!

you know what this is a tuff one.. if you from a town like i was you pretty much have to know and be friends with everyone in middle school and then it comes in high school as well.. i moved in the middle of 8th grade so i didnt know who was popular or anything like that.. i just made my friends and stuck with them..and when i got to high school i just starting talking to more ppl from other "clicks".usually the 1st year or so is hard to make friends because everyones already got there friends.. but when you get into your sophomore and senior year its really easy to make friends..people dont focus on whos popular or not those years..

It's actually better to have a few good friends than lots of superficial ones. Do nice things for people, compliment them on something you actually like about them. Don't do it too much though, or people will sense that you're desperate and start to avoid you.

First and foremost just be yourself. That's the most important thing to learn. People are either going to like you or they aren't. Also it helps if your comftorable woth who you are and like yourself first. If that's an affirmative then your good to go. Nobody likes somebody whos trying to change the way they are to fit in just be who you are and you'll make plenty of friends just because of your personality

I'm in the same position as you are right now. I think if you are humble and sweet for the first couple of weeks, it will work. Also don't show off!! That annoys the Seniors.

Be yourself. If they don't like you for you then they aren't worth being friends with.
