How Do I Make Friends In A New School?

Question

It's been about a three weeks since I started in my new school. No, it's not a different school in town, it's in a different state! Here's my small situation: I've made a few friends, but whenever I talk about something to them, I feel like they're completely ignoring me! Sometimes I cry at night wondering if it's just me. I know I kinda got emotional there, but it's true. I need some serious advice and I hope you can give the best. It would be even better if you had experience with this yourself.

Answer 1

what i do in this situation which i have been in is just be your self at all cost dont worry bout what people think bout you and that is the truth!!

Answer 2

Young lady, hopefully, all of your life you will be going from place to place, and ALWAYS, you will meet int resting people. But, every person that you meet is not your FRIEND! They may be acquaintances, but NOT FRIENDS!

As for your self, I do not know you but I know this about you! You do not play an instrument or know music. You can not speak two languages, you do not play tennis, you do not go to the theater Plays/Ballet. You do not take martial arts of any kind. You cannot play Chess, you do not bake for fun and you almost never cook the family dinner just for fun.

You are looking for friendship? You can not look and find a friend. Friendship grows, but here has to be something there to start the growth.

First of all, your intergity, virtue, ethics, moral code along with responsibility must be without question! And never up for sale at any price/favor or condition! They must completely define you, who you are and what you are!

Second, to experience friendship, try being a friend to thoes you both see and feel that they are in need of a friend. Helping others is a true way to meaningfull friendship!

Dying your hair, make-up, half naked, half your body on display, lastest so call designs in clothing do not lead to friendships. Trying to copy or be/act like all the others do not let the world see YOU! And, if they cannot see and experience YOU, how should the be your friend? As you try to be like all the others, you become a banana, (They all look alike and taste the same), there are no friends among bananas.

Last, do the things that you like to do. Go to the places that you like to go to. At school, join the theater group, the glee club, be a true friend to the ones that have no friend, do not run after the males, you are not a whore nor a medal for some loser to ware around his neck.

Last, remember this: Every male sees every female that comes into his line of vision! Old ugly, young, beautifl, fat or ugly, skinney, rich or poor, he sees them all. The same is true with every female. NATURE MADE HUMANS THAT WAY!

The issue here is that you do not have to do anything to be seen! But YOU have to do somthing for others if you want to find a FRIEND - and that goes for everyone living on this earth!

The best thing to do is to just be yourself. Don't try so hard to make friends right off the bat. You're from a different state so the natives are still "feeling you out", you know what I mean? Start off by keeping the level of communication simple: Like "Hi" or "Hello", "Bye", "Good Morning", etc. Sometimes keeping to yourself will bring them around. Or maybe try to talk about something that's insanely popular to break the ice. Maybe ask them about what fun things are there to do in that city or what do they like to do for fun. That's a good way to find out if you have something in common with your new friends. But the key element is time. I've been there before. Just give them time to come around. You say you've made a few friends already. That's good. Just give them time.

Answer 4

well...i suppose i cant really advise you here since im in exactly the same situation. I had to change schools and move to a different province and i didn't know how to make friends. Well a week ago i joined a sorta group and made friends there. The counselor here was also very nice. She said tht if i needed friends i could ask her to introduce me to some. So u could try speaking to a counselor or joining some sort of group like clubs and stuff like tht

Answer 5

The best way to make friends is to just be yourself I knw thats cliche but its the only real thinng that works. I use to be a loner when I was like 5yrs old hehe I knw that was like what???16 yrs ago now anyways.... I use to hang out by myself alot!! And how I made friends was just be myself and eventually I started making new friends, trying to be someone your not is stupid cause ppl are gonna think your fake and weird. And by the time I hit high school well I had loads of friends yeah you lose some but you also make some friends 4 lyfe just like me. But you also meet and make new friends as well.

I hope this helped in some way. My advice to you would be to go and make new friends cause by the sound of things you so called new friends you made are only interested in who can be their bum girl and it sounds like you hun, so go out and make new friends. But I also agree with that chick who said join some sorta club like a art club or something that you enjoy so its not so uptight 4u and then make friends there in those cases everything fall into place naturally. So yeah be yourself, if ur shy be shy yknw?? But your not gna make any friends if you dnt open your mouth hehe So meet and make new friends but DONT forget to be yourself.

Look hun if you wna knw more just email me no worries thats what Im here for :) But I hope you found something in this that helps you.

Answer 6

When we moved I had 3 kids going to a new school. It took about a week and all of a sudden I had more phones ringing, and kids coming over than we had at the old house. Maybe the kids were just friendlier at this school.

Answer 7

Take risks and get out there. Do some extra stuff like...I dunno...sports or art club. You know stuff like that. Once they start to realize that your a great friend they'll come around. Best of Luck to you. I know how it feels and your never alone there. Art club helped me make friends the most.

Answer 8

Just don't be shy because it can be a real turn-off. Be very talkative and introduce yourself to one new person every day. All u need to do is find a "clique" and to towards them and join thier conversation. good luck ♥

Answer 9

yo don't make new friends in school, you just greet everyone and let them come to you
