How do i make more friends in high school?

Question

ok so im a freshmen in high school right now and the first week of school wasnt as great as i expected. in middle school i had 6 friends that i would hang out with, now in high school one went to another school and 2 of my other friends started hanging out with different people. now im just left with 3 friends and i feel that they arent true friends, I mean sure they're funny and all but i just dont feel a good connection between us and they hardley want to do anything, for example i think i would belong with the skater/rebel type of people and my 3 friends are more like a lil "preppy" and the never wanna do anything or start random convos with other people or just be crazy and weird!. what i would mostly like is a guy friend but idk how to talk to them because they might think im a "poser" or something so how should i get a away from my old friends and go with new ones?

Answer 1

Just be urself!

Answer 2

talk to EVERYONE. Your bound to find some more close friends. Good luck

Answer 3

change ur lifestyle. do somethig different. change ur appearance to what makes u look good. next, try socializing with others by having small talk with people you bump into or sit or stand next to. go to the house parties and it would be a little more easy to socialize.

Answer 4

its only the first week. the first couple weeks suck. i would know, i was a freshmen last year. it is soo easy to get friends in high school, you dont even have to try and you could get one new friend. just relaxx.

Answer 7

I think you should go and talk to new people, be more free spirited, try to talk to your lab partners more often or just see if you guys have something in common, but just remember even though I'm suggesting to be more of a free spirit I'm not saying to totally change yourself, just be "yourself" as well.

Answer 8

Be yourself and you will attract like minded friends.

If you start acting different just to fit into a "so called" group, then you will come across as fake and end up with no friends.

Nobody likes somebody being fake.

Just be yourself and talk about things you like, and they will come. And your current 3 preppy friends will probably break away and hang with who they are more in common with.

Learn a musical instrument like guitar, take up a weird sport, be different...

Answer 9

You could join extracurricular activities- join some clubs or maybe there is a sport you do well in?

Answer 10

join activities is the best way to make new friends. and just be involved in a lot of things. just be real friendly and talk to people

Answer 11

its only your first week, youll make friends in time...

Answer 12

okay, first, what ever you are doing right now do the opposite immediately.  

Answer 13

Just wait.

Start to talk to people in your classes.

And if you are in a sport or somthing you will get to know people on your team. Trust me you will find some new friends =D

Answer 14

If there are a certain group of kids that you are interested in hanging out with or getting to know, find out where they hang out or what clubs they are in that you could join. If you get over your fear and just talk to them, they will most likely not think you are a poser, and if they do, then try to make some other friends in classes. I have learned from experience that when the teacher would pick partners for a project, that was a great way to break the ice with someone you might not have known before, and who knows? Maybe they could be a really good friend.

Answer 15

You just have to step out of your comfort zone.

Answer 16

well you said your a skater girl so after school get your skateboard and show them what you got and if you don't know how ask them to teach you and ask the cutest one there and go from there.

Answer 17

start staying with the people that u want to be friends with.
