How to make friends?

Question

I'm really scared to start school AGAIN i really hate it because I don't know anyone..

How do you make friends when people have already found you quiet? Last year I came in as a new student and I was extremely quiet because I really didn't want to move to this new school and I couldn't fit into any group. I don't get it. It's not just that I'm not super outgoing, kids aren't willing to make friends. I really hate high school because kids think the whole world revolves around them and they aren't willing to make new friends if they already have a group. I'm a junior in high school and I can't wait until I graduate I'm so done w/ these immature students! To top things off I go to a super rich school and almost every single person is extremely stuck up. I'm not ugly but I could never be overly-annoying confident where I talk trash about the uglier girls etc. It's sad that in 11th grade I still haven't found my group. I reall don't think it's going to get better. I remember the first day of school in 9th grade I pulled a mean girls stunt - I seriously had lunch in the bathroom. I have a bunch of friends out of school (sadly, they all go to different schools since I moved) that I hang out with but I just want someone to join during school so I'm not a loner and have it go by faster/funner. Last year was dreadful I hated EVER second. I really hate my school. I don't know if it's my attitude or what but I really hate high schoolers sometimes...

Answer 1

You sound very down about going back to school.  They say school is the best years of your life, although I slightly disagree as I always hated school.

Maybe if you joined some clubs in school ,then that would give you access to making new friends and taking your mind off being on your own all the time.  

I know it is hard when you are shy and quiet but maybe you should make an effort to start this new term as you mean to go on, go in on the first day and try your best to make conversation with people, ask them about their summer holidays and what they got up to, people will soon start to see the real you and will be queuing up to be your friend, you just need to build up your self confidence and believe in yourself.

You sound like a really lovely person, people should be proud to be your friend, dont let anyone put you down, (dont put yourself down either), things will work out for you, just take each day as it comes and do what you can to put a smile back on your face.

Hope things work out for you.  Chin up sweetie.  

Answer 2

i am moving from england to egypt and i think  that i will be in the same situation as i am also shy with people i dont know very well.try going to cluds or doing team sports in school, this will help you find people who enjoy the same things as you and try talking little by little you will find that you will have lots to find out about each other.this might result in you hanging out together.also try showing people just because you are a bit quiet does not mean that you can not make a great freind.remember to be yourself  dont try to impress anyone or act as someone you are not. hope this helps :-)
