In case you or someone else doesn't know, a friend is anyone who believes and feels what you do about God. If you hate him, anyone who hates him is your friend, though not necessarily a close friend. If you love God, and therefore obey him by obeying his commandments, which includes teaching others what his commandments are and how they can get eternal life, than anyone who does the same is your friend, though not necessarily a close one.
The easiest way I have found is to become a Christian (you can find out how through my profile). Although you gain over 100 million friends, obviously they won't automatically be the close type you are probably hoping for. You become a close friend by obeying God, obeying his commandments, which helps bring peace, even to people who hate him. You also gain friends by doing good deeds, such as helping people to obey God or get something done. It can be something simple, like helping them retrieve something, cook a meal, and so on. Don't engage in vain activities though. I would not climb a mountain for fun, to make a friend. There is little good that can be accomplished by wasting your time climbing a mountain unless you need the training to help people who live in the mountains.
You'll also gain billions of enemies by becoming a Christian, but, you can, if you get good enough, or if God is willing, persuade others who hate you to become Christians.
Don't pretend to be what you aren't. I find it disgusting when people are pretentious, which means arrogant-talking. Be friendly and care about others as much as you do yourself, even to hateful people.
Wear your beliefs, like on your shirt or using a symbol. That may attract like-minded people who will want to get to know you better.
Another way, ask people what they believe and like to do for fun (not at the same time) when they are not busy doing something really complicated, or trying to party, etc.
Another way is to create a group meant to talk about certain things or do certain that people from your school or community may be interested in. For example, you can make a Bible Prophecy group, and state pick some verse or passage or subject to talk about that week after class or on a certain day during the week, or a group on a certain game like "Go" and have rewards for people who beat a certain number of players.
You can also offer to help students with certain subjects if you are good at one and have the time to, by posting a bulletin somewhere in your school if you have one. You can put some "junk" email that people can use to let you know they want your help in case you get some psychotic spammer.
Another way is to attend a church, especially a Bible study. There is always some Christian, at least in a large group, willing to talk to you. And if the teacher is good, you can compliment him for doing a good job.
If your town is a boring one, and there is a spot where people tend to hang out when they are bored, I would also go there to get to know them. There was one like that were I used to live.

Huh? It takes harmful words to make your friends happy? Why do you want to make them happy?

Why would you voluntarily use harmful words in any event?
If you want to make your friends happy, be supportive of their efforts, be happy in their successes and joyfulness and sad when they suffer. (Too often, "friends" actually enjoy one's unhappiness; it's so common there's a word to describe it: schadenfreude. )

By replacing the harmful words in your vocabulary with some new, sweet, uplifting words.
Especially the words "You're my BEEEEST friend."
