How to get new friends at a new high school?

Question

Well I'm starting a new high school and I know this group of people (like 10 people) and they want me to hang out with them but I don't really want to, so what should I do? I was thinking on just sitting alone or something.

Answer 1

Try to join a club or sport, that way you meet people with the same interest. You probably don't want to hang out with that group of people because they are losers, I know am right.  

Answer 2

join a lot of clubs that the most best and efficient way to get friends in high school. and if your good at a sport you should join a team or evn good at acting you can be in plays! hope that helps  

Answer 3

Never sit alone in high school and why would you want do that anyway.  When making new friends, it is best to be yourself.  It's doesn't hurt to hang out with the group of people that you are talking about because you will never know if they are the friends you want to hang out with unless you do it once.   If you be yourself, people would want to be your friend.  Also, it doesn't hurt if you go up to people and introduce yourself because some people like when people do that.

Answer 4

u can hang out with someone in your class...that way u dont need to stick with the people u dont wanna hang out with and u wont be sitting alone at the same time.. :D

Answer 5

the first day you'll most likely sit alone. other kids will sit alone too. so youre not really alone. you can just be yourself and introduce yourself an stuff

Answer 6

why dont u wanna hang out with them? well if u really hate them then dont. but they just might be ur way to meet other ppl. u might meet cooler ppl thru them. if u really dont mind sitting alone then ok but i would say hanging out with them will help u get accustomed to the school and stuff.

good luck!

Answer 7

it is not a good idea to get involved in a group of friends, i wish i never as when i started school, it started with like 10 of us and ended with about 40 and it was horrible as if two people fell out, the whole group would argue! and that went on for 3 years and then the last 2 years, i made friends with a small group of about 6 of us who were ALWAYS together and i stayed friends with the other group but just didn't spend as much time with them.

don't be on your own, get involved with people :) if it's a new school to everyone then everyone will feel how you do and some people are shy to start off with. try making a really close friend, just someone who you can talk to and then go from there :)

Answer 8

unless theres a reason u dont wanna hang with em ... try em out ... if u dont like it ... then dont care what anyone says and chill alone BUT dont be so choosy who your friends are as far as how popular they are .. or u will have no friends ... good luck on your new school year

Answer 9

Join clubs, compliment someone, there are alot of different conversation starters you can use.

Answer 10

people think of you in the first 5 seconds so dont blow it. be your self and talk to everybody and join as many clubs , sports as you can.

Answer 11

Look at the clubs and join one that you would find interesting, and there are more than likely some people you would like to hang out with. Also, don't be shy! When in your new class just make some conversations with some people. Go to the football games, just open up. It works. Promise!
