i just moved to a brand new school. it's so tough. i get lost so many times and i have some trouble making friends. i'm a very friendly person but i guess someone could say i'm a little shy. i don't want to act stupid and just go up to someone and tell them my name. but i really want to meet new people friend-wise and relationship-wise. i have my eye on this cutie that rides my bus that i'm interested in. and i also met one girl and she's a really nice friend but that's the only friend i have right now. so any advice please?
PS: if this helps, i ride a bus and there are a TON of kids at the school.

Hey I've got the exact same problem! I am homeschooled but am in a huge hs group-I have lots of friends there NOW but when I joined several years ago, I didn't know anyone. I am very friendly but am shy as well. I made friends because everyone is friendly, but if no one else makes the first move, and you want to be friends with that person, then YOU have to make it. Say, join a school sport team or after-school activity-you'll find people who have at least a few of the interests that you do. If you love track, join a track team and meet someone who loves running. Or softball. A writing program. There's someone in your school who's dying to be your friend-trust me, if you go up to someone and say, 'Hi, my name is ______, and I like to play _____. What about you?' you WILL NOT look like a total dweeb. 4 out of 5 people will respond and I'll bet you anything if you do something like this, you'll have loads of friends by the end of the school year. I wish you the best of luck!

Easy way to meet people in a new school is start participating in school events and in class cause the more you participate people start to notice and want to ask you questions and make comments also that one friend you have ask her to see if she can introduce you to some of her friends. On the bus most definitely sit in the back of the bus not the front and when ou hear good conversations going on just chime in put your thoughts in trust me you will get noticed you can't go wrong with conversation at the back of the bus. take care and good luck

Ok. Good start. Get to know that girl much better and spend some time with her outta school.
Join clubs, sport teams etc. You'll get to know lots of kids and you never know....
Time, time and more time.......it's not gonna happen overnight. But I'm glad you got that girl right now as a pal for you.
Lastly, AIM is a great way to create some bonds, but I find internet friendship to be really fake, but it does get your name going around.
By the way, I probably would consider more girls I know as "true friends" than guys I know. I hang out with girls just about as much as I do with my guy friends, probably because it's really difficult in my school to enter the guys' groups...

hello my name is usually works pretty good if he can't make the time to smile and talk a little he is not into you or he is slow in which case he will make and attempt later it will be worse than just saying hello . he probally won't know what else to say its not is fault though guys aren't the smartest

well at this time u just have to open up. its really hard. because im shy too. well at school. but u have to reach out to make friends when people at school already have groups and friends it can be hard and they may not include u. so be retarded. who cares say.. hey my name is ? wuts yours. ask them random questions to get to know each other and find something you have in common with each other. it can be hard but just try. wut do u have to lose. good luck =]]
