i'm not making any friends :(?

Question

Im a really outgoing person & im a pretty nice person as well. I've always been pretty popular and I have alottt of friends from where I lived, but I just recenlty moved. I've been living here for about 2 months and I had to move cause my dad got a better job. Its in the same state to just instead of living in north Florida, I live in south Florida now & I'm having a really tough time making freinds

This year I am a freshman, (im 14 yrs old btw) so I entered high school not knowing anyone which was extremley difficult.
Im finding thats its alot easier to be friends with the guys, cause alot of the guys like me.. but none of the girls have been as freindly to me, & I dont know why cause i've been very nice.

I've been alone alot, & it feels so wierd for me cause I'm not used to that at. I try to talk to people but they usualy brush me off...it really hurts

If anyone could give me any advice I'd appreciate it alot :)

Answer 1

You're at a time in your Life when people become more "selective" in their choice of friends. Of COURSE the guys are going to be "interested" - because they aren't quite as "choosey" about who they pick as "friends" from the opposite sex. But since you have no "history" among the local girls around your new home- it's going to take LONGER for them to "size you up" & decide if they want to get to know you. Give THEM & yourself time- to check each other out, & just be YOURSELF. Between Classes & school Activities- I'm sure you'll find a few girls to hang out with in the next few weeks... Just "hang in there". -You'll see! :)

Answer 2

Just an assumption but the girls are probably not talking to you right now because all the guys do like you. They see that you are basically coming in and stepping on their toes, they will probably come around. Just keep trying to socialize with them and maybe talk to the guys about introducing you to their chic friends. If you play any sports that could help you get to know other girls easier too. Good luck at your new school.

Answer 3

if it helps, i am a freshman too and i only know a few (like 2) people at my high school. most of the girls might envy u becuz the guys like u but the girls that r like that are just jerks anyway. don't worry. try seating with different people at lunch. that is a good way to meet new people. and if u take a p.e. or dance class, try talking to the girls in there. u never know what will happen. good luck!

My husband used to be in the military, and then he was a nuclear contractor. Our daughter was in your shoes a LOT, unfortunately.

My daughter participated in band, choir, art, and just about any activity that would put her into a group ...so she could interact with other students and make friends.

If you belong to a church, you could join a youth group or something. You could join a bowling league. You could volunteer at a local animal shelter, hospital, retirement home, etc. You could learn to play an instrument.

By becoming active via volunteerism or taking a class, you learn more about yourself and what you truly enjoy in life.

Best of everything!

BTW: you should be very, very careful about inviting people to view your online stuff. pervs are everywhere, kiddo!

Answer 5

The other girls probily dont talk to you because their either jealous and or just like you and they dont know you and you said your pretty well since you make alot of guy friends their probily intimidated by that and so you should make the first move with them and bump into them (make it look like an accident) and start off a simple conversation with that and dont worry sooner or later youll make very good friends.
Hope everything works out your way!

Answer 6

well u r a freshman and alot of the upper classmen hate freshman i should know i am one. but if someone really came to me and we started talking and wanted to be friends, significant others w/e i would agree because i don't have a whole lot so there is room for more. i would try the guys because they don't about that too much. the girls probably wont talk to ya unless another freshman because other classmen just don't lower classment no offense

Answer 7

Hi Hon..
Don't give up so fast..
Introduce yourself ..tell them what class your in..
Smile..and give the girls compliments when you see them..
Join some sports..
Sit next to someone who you think might be a good friend..
Ask about the classes and the teachers...
Ask someone that you eventually talk to in class if they would like to hang out..
You have to give it sometime Hon..And you have to remember sometimes girls are threatened when they see a new girl, especially a pretty one..
Everything will work out fine..
Just be patient!
Take care!

Answer 8

Girls are hard to be friends with. I always had way more guy friends (platonic) than girl friends. Girls are so competitive and b!tchy. Guys are easy going and fun.

If the school has any sort of club that you'd be interested in you could join it and meet some people with common interests. Otherwise, just be patient, be yourself and keep talking to people. Don't change to please others and don't shut down.

Answer 9

hey high school can be tough like that but try joining a sport or clubs and youre sure to make friends! and theres nothing wrong with being guys with friends.. personally i like them better than girls because theres less drama but if youre only with guys, the other girls may be jealous. and i knwo is sucks but girls love drama and to spread rumors.. just try to be yourself and im sure the other girls will come around. good luck!

Answer 10

Join some sports or clubs at school, that will get you being around the kids and they will see that you are trying to get along with them and maybe you can make some friends within the clubs or sports that you join.
