The best way to get a friend is to be a friend. Don't aim to magically be part of the cool group- that's not going to happen!
Look around you for someone else who seems to be isolated, and start talking to them. You don't have to be a brilliant conversationalist to say 'hi, I'm (whatever your name is). Isn't the weather great?' or whatever.
Who knows where a conversation about the weather, or your latest assignment, or the latest fashion, or your favourite song, or a casual invitation to play tennis or squash or whatever, might lead? You might find you have a lot in common.
Try to be honest in your opening comversation- don't try to impress. You can even say something like, 'I'm new to the area and I don't really know anybody here', or 'I hate parties, I can never hear what anyone's saying'. Just be yourself.
And if you get rejected, don't let it get to you- that person just wasn't a potential friend (and if they're rude to you, it says something about THEM, not about you!!!). Be brave and try again!
You could also try joining some clubs or groups that you're interested in. That way you'll meet people with similar interests. Or join an online dating service and see if there's anyone in your area who's looking for friendship and shares your interests. The possibilities are endless!
By the way, the 'cool group' usually sucks. It's full of peer pressures that cause heaps of stress. So aiming to be part of that from the outside is probably not such a great idea. Start your own group instead! That way you're more in control of your life. Good luck!

"Friendship with oneself is all important because without it one cannot be friends with anybody else in the world." ~~Eleanor Roosevelt
"Silence is the true friend that never betrays." ~~Confucius
Learn to really like yourself. Make a list of all the personal characteristics you want in a group of best friends. How many of those traits do you find in yourself? Do you enjoy time being by yourself at the zoo, the local art museum, a gallery opening? Can you sit by yourself in a coffeeshop or bar and have a good time?
Develop your social skills, slowly but surely. Be comfortable with yourself and the world you really want to be part of will be comfortable with you. Or as Will Rogers once said,
“Popularity is the easiest thing in the world to gain and it is the hardest thing to hold”

From no friends to popular is quite impossible, unless you start talking to everyone. Well its the end of the year, so next year just talk to alot of people in class about school or random things. Sit at lunch tables get into conversations, keep doing this and eventually they will become your friend

1. Learn something new. Be good at something. Join a class and meet new people.
2. Groom yourself. Comb your hair, take a shower, wear nice and clean clothes.
3. Be nice. Popular is nice but if you want to meet true friends be a nice person, help people out, be polite and you'll meet lots of people who will want to be your friends.

Just be yourself. Don't strive for popularity, that'll only make you more dweebish. Find a club or group that you can fit in with at school, or why don't you surf the neighborhood? Maybe find a pen pal?
