How can I make friends at my new school?

Question

Its a private boarding school, but day students are allowed. I'm a day student. Yesterday we had orientation and stuff. I'm really shy, so I pretty much just stood there and did what I was supposed to do. I don't think I made one new friend, I just hung out with some girls I already knew. Today we have to go back and do more team games and stuff, and I'm afraid that I'll just stand there again. I really want to make friends, but I'm way too shy. What are some tips to make friends and not be shy?

Well if you see girls looking at you[not in a mean way, but wondering who you are] just be like "Hi, i'm _____, and i'm new here, what's your name?" Or something like that.  Just smile and try to introduce yourself to them.  If you here them talking about something you know or like, maybe you could join in the conversation.

Just be yourself and smile and let them know your friendly.  I went to high school last year and didn't know anyone in my classes, but girls will a lot of the time see you by yourself and ask you to hang out with them.

Good Luck!
