I'm a Jr in high school and I'm changing schools what is a good way to make friends?

Question

I'm a really shy person and I'm not the type of person to go up to someone and start talking randomly. I just need some tips to making friends cause it's hard changing schools in your Jr year.

Answer 1

Go along with ur school then people might ask whats ur name or something.  

Answer 2

i used to be shy too! i think your shy cuz your afraid of rejection like i was. i think your scared that if you go up and talk to someone that they won't like you!

let me tell you how i got over it.... just think of the situation from the other person's perspective! then you'd say to yourself "if i were them i wouldn't mind someone coming up and talking to me."

hoped that made sense! good luck!

Answer 3

join an sports team, that way you can make friends easier, or just talk to classmates. if your new to that school, most of the students will ask you "hey what school did you came from?" and there you go start that conversation and start making friends!!!

Answer 4

At my school kids that are new are friends with everyone the first week or so then sticks with the group they belong with.

Answer 5

Get busted for having drugs in your locker. *Everyone* will think you're awesome then.

..except for the teachers.

Answer 6

just get yourself really involved

do a sport

and do alot of clubs

be yourself, outgoing, and confident

smile and be friendly:]

good luck!

Answer 7

Lets look at it this way: there is three things you have to like in a friend or have

1. Is affinity (how much you like the person)

2. com line (how much you have in common)

3. reality with the person (how much you talk to the person ect.)

If you keep all those three up with any person I guarantee you will be friends with them.

Answer 8

Yeah im super shy too and i started at a new school my senior year because of the hurricane.

It was crazy, but i made sure i smiled alot and showed confidence when i walked and also to say whats on your mind when someone talks to you, 9 times out of 10 we know what to say we're just too shy to say it, atleast i'am.

Oh and try to find something in common with people you meet and just build it up from there.

Answer 9

I'm changing schools my senior year.

So i know how you feel.

I guess just join any clubs that strike your interest.

Try and be very outgoing and put the shyness away.

Step out of your comfort zone and be very comfortable with yourself.

Answer 10

I moved three times during my school years.  Luckily it was at the beginning of summer break so I had some time to meet people before school started.  The first kids I met were at church and luckily there was always couple of kids going to the same school.  I played sports so that put me in a group quickly and I also tried to join clubs such as Spanish, Science, etc.   If you play an instrument, band may be a good way to meet people as well.  Just remember that there are always new kids each year and you are not alone.

Answer 11

Well, if you don't like

talking to random

people, then just try

to keep a clean

profile and make

the people think

your nice. Make

them talk to you

first. Good Luck!

Answer 12

Hi,

  When I was little I moved around a lot. It didn't really help. Cause I find the hardest part is getting use to how the school works..and the teachers cheat and stuff like that. Making friends isn't really that hard. I am just like you though. I am shy and have trouble making friends. But I don't know most of the people are really nice. And well you do know that you don't have to be popular...I mean I always though that would be a waste of time...but join a sport or club...it helps making friends easier. Hope this helps...

Answer 13

Try to talk to as many people as you can at the start. Don't just talk to one or two and isolate yourself. Eventually, you will become better friends with the ones you like most. Good luck

Answer 14

I was new to my school last year too, and it was hard at first then I learned what helps.  You should be yourself, but be friendly and bubbly.  And just be open to lots of new people.  Try talking and socializing with people who seem nice or are interested in things you are.
