I'm new to this school right, and its been over a week and I can't make any new friends. I went to a differnt middle school last year because my mom was the princable but this year she got moved to a new elementary school so I couldn't go there. Only one of my friends is in my class and we are really good friends and all but she went there last year so I guess I feel really left out because she has all these other friends and she keeps talking to them and laughing about all this cool stuff that happened last year. She has about 4 really good friends and I feel jealous. I mean I've tried being nice to them, but they think, oh I don't know. But i dont think they like me very much.

The first rule to making friends... BE YOURSELF. They're not trying to be friends with someone who isn't you. Being someone you're not is lying to them. Wouldn't want to start off lying!
Rule #2- TALK. (Not during class, though!) You have to be friendly and join in conversations. If they're talking about something funny that happened last year, ask them what it was like and ask them to tell you about it. Then you can all have a good laugh.
Rule #3- Be friendly.- Nobody wants to be friends with someone whose un-friendly! Show them that you're a nice person.
Rule #4- Share YOUR stories and jokes- I'm SURE you have some funny stories they would love to hear. Speak up!
Rule #5- Spend TIME with them- Spend time with these new friends. Go out to the mall or the movies. Get to know them better and what they like and dislike.
Rule #6- Respect their decision.- If they really don't want to be your friend, just forget about it. You'll be trying the whole year if they don't like you by now!
Rule #7- Find someone who likes what you like- Out of those friends she has, I'm sure at least one of them likes a lot of the things you like. Talk to them more and find out.
Rule #8- Don't leave anyone out!- You know how it feels to be left out, so don't do it to someone else!
Rule #9- Don't give in to temptation.- No matter how good of friends you become, do NOT let them cheat off you on a test or anything of the matter
Finally, Rule #10- MAINTAIN friends.- Stay loyal to your true friends. Don't hang out with the popular kids. Popularity is NOT all it's cracked up to be. The first friends you make are most likely the ones that will stick with you. Hang on to them and trust them.
Hope this helped! Good luck! :):).

Well this way we did involves a few people, but worked really well at our grade 9 BBQ. We had the older kids take us around to other kids are age and said, "Hey, wanna make some new friends?" or "Hey have you met, *names here*, they're from *school name here*. S/he's new to this school." You could also find something you think you might have in common with other kids, and strike up a conversation about it. "Hey my names __. I hear we have a killer *club,drama,sports team*. Do you play any sports.?

Its ok!!! All you have to do is get ou there and talk to people. Now, I can't possibly say I know how you feel, because I don't...I have been in the same school all of my life. Anyways, you should get out there and talk! If ppl dont accept you, find other people!! As for ur bff's friends...I would find someone other then them, cuz what your saying sounds to me like they are stuck up snobs.
Hope it helps and good luck!

I have a son in the seventh grade. And when he transferred schools, he him self had no friend for about 2 weeks. I don't know what he did, but now the phone will not stop ringing. He is in Karate, and Football and most of his friends are in those sports, but for the girls, boy howdy. You can chose your friends, Not your family, Don't rush it, friends will come.

Im a 7th grade teacher. Often I take some kids and let them have a lunch group in my class to build friendships. Do not be afraid to talk to your teachers.

it is very difficult making new friends at an entirely new school. Join a sport that you like and you will meet new people who like the same interests.! Don't be shy and be yourself!!

My daughter never meets a stranger, why? She can talk to anybody, she's in 7th grade and she has many friends because she talks to everybody.
