Is there anything at all that you are interested in? Truly interested? For example, the radio station at school - some schools have a radio station just for the school - is it something you would enjoy? Don't you realize that they would like someone to just show up and say, 'This is something I would like to do!' so that they can give them some volunteer job that need needs to be done at the station? Multiply that by 5 - sign up for 45 activities that you are at least interested in. Do them! Contribute! Enjoy doing them! You will meet at least one person who likes you , not even a whole lot, just likes you. This is the beginning. Then you get to know more people and show them what a nice person you are. This is how friends meet. Or you could just get a job at a place that hires a lot of teenagers. There you go - being a good coworker will earn you some friendship points. No one ever offer to 'hang out' unless they are super-caring and confident. Why be alone when you have so much to offer? Put the responsibility on your own shoulders for once! Choose to be a joiner, a giver, not a loner, waiting to be taken into a group! Good luck! I've been there - by the time I graduated high school, I was in the boat club. the radio station, the ski club and thespians. I made a few great friends, some good friends, and a lot of other friends that I could hang out with if I wanted to.

It's tough moving to a new town and school. The best you can try is to get involved in a school club or participate in sports. Look friendly and do a whole lot of smiling, be nice to everyone and try and start a conversation . If you see a group that shares the same interests as you, try your best to get into it (conversation). There's always an opportunity just be ready to jump in when it happens.
If all else fails see about getting a job, go to a local church or volunteer your services somewhere. The more your out there the more people will notice you.

Since I've moved several times in my life (I'm at my 3rd middle school, and I'm in the 8th grade, and I switched schools in grade school, too, and I know I will be moving at least one more time before college, however, I do acknowledge the fact that some people have moved a lot more than I have), I am able to feel empathy towards you. Many times now, I have spent semesters sitting by myself at lunch (at various schools). I don't have any "close friends"... you know, the friends that you do everything with, your primary source for advice, the person you share your deepest darkest secrets with, the person you communicate with frequently even though you are 2,000 miles away...
This year, we did 8th grade superlatives, and I chose not to vote since I did not know enough people. I'm sure no one outside of my classes know me. I'm probably the MOST FORGETTABLE (lol)
To tell you the truth, I've acquired more Internet friends within the past year than I have real life friends/aquaintances in my whole entire life.
Yeah, it stinks having to move and then not having any friends. But think about it this way: at least you and I had aquaintances/friends at our old schools... some people go through their lives without a single friend.
Good luck, and sorry.

Join a club, any club. Or start one. You can wait for the world to beat a path to your doorstep or go out and meet it.
By the way, no one wants to hang around a sad sack. The more miserable you make yourself and the more you feel sorry for yourself, the less anyone is going to want to hang around you. The saying is quite true that if you laugh the world laughs with you, and if you cry, you're on your own.
Take a chance. Go sit with someone else at lunch. There must be at least one other student that no one else seems to want to hang with. What's the worst that can happen compared to the best?
When God gives us a helping hand, we almost always find that it's on the end of our own arm.

The similar happened to me. I was moved to a new town at the age of 14....the new town was so different than what i was used to (alot smaller) these people i went to school with all knew each other and grew up together. I ended up falling with the "wrong crowd" because of this. My parents tried to help but it really took a toll on me. I am 29 now and have since moved to a new state and am on my own doing very well with 3 kids and a successful business. I just hope this kids keeps his head up.....It's not the end of the world....there's still so many things in his life to come...this is only a stepping stone.....just tell him to keep his head up as this too shall pass..........

I have to move around a lot too. And i know more than most people that it is not fun being the new kid. I'd say that you need to try harder to find friends. Just show up at parties and meet people. Maybe find a job and hang out with them. Join an after school program at school. Do sports. There's lots of ways to find friends even online.

Yes, i feel bad for you. It totally sucks moving to a new place in the middle of High School. But from your paragraph, it doesn't seem like you are trying to make friends. The kids there aren't going to talk to "the new kid" you have to put yourself out there.Try joining a team or club to meet some new people. Good luck making friends, it's hard, but its got to be better than sitting alone right?

join some clubs, I bet you theres lots of clubs in your school you can join. Talk to some teachers, it isn't hard to make friends in high school unless you yourself is the one snubbing them off. Just go ahead and open up to someone, talk to them about the latest movie you saw. Or about a football game comming up. Pretty soon you'll find out you and that person have alot in common. Talk to classmates in your class. Look for someone who seems to be alone as well =). If not, join a sports team or volunteer for an organization. Not only will it look good in your transcript, but you get to feel good about what you're doing when you're helping out the community and making friends as wel! Good luck to you! And you're almost there! Don't worry.

it's sad to be without friends alright, I went through most of my childhood that way. However you need to realize that high school isn't permenant. another year or so and your life will change again. it would have anyway even if you hadn't moved. most of the people you go to school with don't stay in your life afterward.
You will move on and so will they. you need to. change is growth.
meanwhile.............. try to make the best of it. is there ayouth group at church? do you go to church? it's a great place to start.
were you aloner at your last school? nows the time to show a new personality. you can be as wild and crazy as you choose. nobody knows the difference.
try some clubs...............drama..........choir......saad.......if you're in a big school you have lots to choose from. small school? try ffa or 4-h these things aren't just about farming, there's cooking , sewing, photography, try carrying a camera. people love mugging for pictures,
just remember you're not as alone as you think.

Talk to some guys and try to make some friends. I do feel bad for you that you couldn't have waited till you graduated to move. That happened to me the summer before my senior yr i was kicked out of my stepdad's house (not my fault honestly) and moved in with my real dad. I didn't have any friends my senior yr so I worked i felt like a ghost.
