How do i make new friends my Freshman year of high school??

Question

I just ended alot of friendships over the summer because they started too much drama..Im kinda shy so its hard to talk to new people.. Any tips??

Answer 1

I am the same exact way, and I started high school last year, so I know all about it. Just be yourself, and don't try too hard. YOu just have to go up to people and say Hi. I always though if I did that, that people would think I was wierd, but everyone has to do it sometimes. Most of all, try to make friends in your homeroom, because you will be with them most throughout the schoolyear. Basically, once you make friends the first day, you won't have to do it again. So think of it as getting it overwith in way....

Answer 2

Dont try to act like someone else. Be yourself. Loosen up a little and try to talk to people and make friends. don't be to tense! Just be yourself and bright. In class... speak up. Just do wat i said and people will notice you in no time! Just think.. a bunch of other kids are probably worried about making friends. your not the only one! Im sure you'll do great! Good Luck!

Well, I think that the best way to make friends is to get involved. Join lots of clubs and try to be your self. Find people who like things you're interested in and start up a conversation. Since you choose your classes in high school, try talking to the people in your elective classes. They'll at least be interested in the elective you take with them, so you already have something to talk about. Or sit by some one not in an obvious group of friends and start up a conversation with a generic question like, "Hey, what classes are you in", tell a crazy teacher story, or comment on the school food. Just be your self and get involved if you're to shy to just join a group.  

Answer 4

        Always, always be yourself. Don't change how you are naturally because someone make you or you are pressured. Always talk to people and get to know them better so that you can make relationships. Don't get involved with drugs or alcohol or anything like that. If people like you for who you are then you should make alot of friends with no trouble.

Answer 5

Just be yourself and you'll make new friends without even knowing it. Never change for anyone. Be real and others will notice that and talk to you. :) Have fun its the last year of highschool, enjoy it and dont worry so much. :)
