How to make new friends? Please help?! [read details]?

Question

I moved after 6th grade and am now going to 9th grade. I kinda had a hard time making new friends,but last year i was in a group with three people,and i thought we were pretty good friends,and they were the kind of friends i wanted. But now, i see that we're really different and they're not really my type of friends. Theyre really obnoxious and disrespectful. Like yesterday me and two of them went to the mall,and one girl was having an attitude the whole time,and was like "OMG you'd wear that?' She was moody and annoying the whole time. Like rolling her eyes. My other friend was just being ridiculous and crazy the whole time. Like when she couldnt find me,she'd scream my name around the whole store,"Jessicaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!" im half asian, and my Dad's full,so when she comes over,she'll go up to my Dad and imitate his accent. She'll yell,"OOOOAAAOO" And try to sound Chinese. It really bothers me. And i tell her to stop but she doesn't. She's really rude, and she'll call lots of people nerds when she doesn't realize how she acts. And everyone would stare at her. She was just completely obnoxious the whole time. And really embarrassing. In the car, she was acting really stupid.Shed be like "Hi Jessica,how are you today?"And make beaver faces,and randomnly yell in the car. Her Dad would tell her to be quiet but she wouldn't listen. Theres alot more. Im crazy and loud,but not retarded or stupid crazy like she is. So theyre the only people along with one other person that i hang out with at lunch,and i really dont wanna hang out with them anymore,but i dont have anyone else.

I want to know how to make new friends.Like everyone has there friends already,so its hard to just join a group. I cant walk up to someone and say,"Hey,can i hang out with you guys?" Please help me. Thats what im dreading the most,because EVERY lunch they embarrass me somehow. I hate school because of this. Not worried about my grades.

Any advice?

Best advice= Best answer.

Thank you.

Answer 1

Sounds like your friends are on drugs...lol...and maybe you too, you should worry about grades and not friends cause if ya think about it, when you grow up you most likely won't stay friends with many of the friends you have now.  You may stay with like 1 or 2 of your best friends and become friends with your kid's parents if you have kids or become friends with your neighbors.

Answer 2

Hey,

It sounds like you're having the same kind of trouble my twin is having.  All I can do in this situation is give you the same advice I gave her.  Be who you want to be -not who they want you to be.   People who take the mick are normally pretty insecure themselves and generally feel threatened by others.  I know its hard but I would personally say dump the friends - they are not true friends if they make you feel embarrassed, sad, etc.  If they can't respect you as a friend and a person, thats their deal.   As far as making new friends go - I totally understand the whole issue with gangs/groups being 'tight' and not being able to get into a circle.  So why not try to join some kind of a club?  Maybe a dance club or drama club or whatever.  I'm sure there are plenty out there, and you're bound to find a group of friends somewhere who will appreciate you for who you are.

Hope this helps.
