im a sophmore now and i realized that i need to socialize though. but for some reason i cant seem to make many friends. i have some, but i could use some more. I can't join a club or sport so don't suggest that.

You know i had the same problem when i was younger. But let me tell you the secret to making friends.
Just talk to people. Start a simple conversation about something you see on someone. Like some wears a nirvana t-shirt. You just start talking about nirvana. In no time at all someone will be starting to talk about some else usually another interest. Just ask a lot of questions about this interest and look like you are interessed. People always like talking about themselves. Now that you have made first contact, just talk to this person some other day. And before you know it you will be sharing interest and start a friendship.
Of course it doesn't always work like that. Making contact is the easy thing but a real friendship takes time to build.
But just remember they are just as anxious to talk to a stranger as you are. And like it when someone show interest in them.
Good luck.

Make conversation...be confident but not arrogant...smile...don't try to be the center of attention or nothing but when the opportunity arrives, talk. Someone says "hi" make eye contact and with a smile say "hey, how are how are u doing?" and act geniunely interested. Keep the conversation going by bringing up the weather or something (just about anything) and soon, if it was meant to be, it'll blossom into a friendship.

i used to have the same problem. my best advice is to put yourself out there.
but what are you comfortable with? if you are happy being on your own, or with just a few close friends, you don't need to change.
high school isn't the end of the world, you just need to make decisions.
in your classes, talk to people that you sit next to, or have things in common with. if you are genuinely nice and interested in everybody, you will be accepted.

talk to people in your classes. orchestra/band/choir are really good places to meet people. especially marching band (can you tell i like band? :)
i'm sure there are clubs and sports at your school. for example, we have ping pong club. so it probably lame, but there are lots of cool people there.
start small, make yourself known. and be confident and smile :)

the simplest way to make friends is to be a friend. help them,
show them that you care. go to them and ask for friendship.don't be shy.. someone has to start. they wil not because they have friends, you don't. if you have some ask the person to help you to make friends. ask to your teachers to help you . tell them to introduce you again in the class. ALL THE BEST.
