  5. This will all seem so UNIMPORTANT in 15 days believe me it goes so FAST before you know it you will feel so comfortable you will LAUGH at this QUESTION.........

  6. Take a deep breath. You shouldn't be so nervous, you're going to a new school, not to the gallows. Remember that in your new school you will find kids your age. You're going to meet people like you there. Don't stare at others before you get to know them.

    Be yourself. Never change who you are to try and fit in. If your friends don't accept you for you, they're not really friends.

    Be hygienic. Nothing makes a worse first impression than a whiff of B.O. or bad breath that could knock someone over. Shower daily, wear deodorant, brush your teeth, and wash your hair . Designer clothes aren't everything, but look neat. It can make you seem friendlier and more approachable.

    Be inviting. A smile goes a long way. When you walk in the halls, don't hunch over your books or keep your eyes on the floor. Stick your chin up and make eye contact with other people. If you see someone you know, give a smile or say hi. Introduce yourself. Tell them your name and where you're from. Ask a question: "What do you do for fun?" Chat about the new school: "Have you been here since kindergarten?"

    Make the first move. Anywhere, in the bathroom, near your locker, or at the water fountain, you can find someone that has things in common with you, all you need is to know how to approach them. Strike up a conversation, smile and compliment them, and, of course, introduce yourself and tell them where you came from! You never know where you can find a nice friend.

    Do something nice for someone. Save someone a seat. Say "hi" in the hall. Give congratulations for a job well done. Pay a compliment: "I like your backpack."

    Join after school activities you like. Choir or theater or hang around for a French club meeting, etc. Even if you don't know anyone there, you'll all share a common interest, and you can experience with different personalities from yours that have the same interest!

    Look for other people who are new to the school. You're probably not the only one and at the very least, you'll have one thing in common: you're both in an unfamiliar environment. The good news is, if you are starting at a new school in startup year, almost everyone is new! Since being new is something that you all have in common, making new friends shouldn't be that hard. Talk about your old school, your new school, your opinions, grades, teachers, etc.

    Don't sit at the back of the class where other people dont notice you! Try to sit in the middle where your around everyone and can make conversation.

    [edit]Tips

    Don't let people tell you you're a loser. Finding good friends is tough, and sometimes nearly impossible. But there are people who like you for you so you're never a loser. You just haven't found the right people yet.

    If you're really having trouble, or are feeling depressed, then get some help. A little bit of counseling can make you feel ten times better and can improve your self confidence and social skills.

    Quality over quantity. Don't automatically assume that the more friends you'll have, the happier you'll be. A few close friends can lead to richer relationships than a large but impersonal group.

    There's someone out there looking for a friend just like you, don't be afraid to go up to someone and say: "Hi!" If they don't seem like your type, that's okay. There's tons of people out there who could be your best friend!

    Join or form a study group. This is a quick way to make (potential) friends, establish and multiply your network, and get timely academic support.

    Joining a club or sport is a GREAT way to make new friends and then get really close to them.

    Your guidance councilor and teachers will be more than happy to introduce you to other students in your class.

    It's easiest to make your new friends before other people get use to you and make up their minds about what they think of you.

    [edit]Warnings

    Don't try too hard. This really falls under the category of changing yourself in order to seem more attractive to others. Don't fake interest, or cling on to people you want to be friends with. Be natural and friendly, but don't overdo it.

    Be careful, you don't want to make someone mad by going up and talking to them. If it looks like they are in a bad mood, it'd be a good idea to stay away!

  7. That is pretty much the way to do it as time goes on you will make friends, Pont let your shyness slow you Down You can do it and good luck to you

  8. Talk to the quiet shy people.  There are scared too and will be happy that someone is talking to them.  If u talk to them it make u not appeat soo shy.  Makes u look outgoing and friendly and courteous.  Who knows u could be chosen as homecoming queen with that attitude.  And these quiet shy people will think u are great and will be the ones voting for u.


  9. you should start off with figuring out who you are and what you want out of school, out of everyday. everyone else will, if not already,be only interested in themselves and their agenda in the end. you will find yourself surrounded by people one day if you just focus on keeping yourself busy with activities. dont think too much, just do things, and people will meet you, not the other way around.

  10. i had that same problem

    i didnt really talk that much some people would talk like introduce themselves thats when u should say ur name and have a little small talk

    then look for some of the "popular kids" but not like majorly stuck up just ask em where a class is and if u ever see someone by themselves that have a lot of friends introduce urself  and ask his/her name and just make like small talk about how ur nervous and are a transfer student most likely they will be really nice and introduce u to their friends

  11. say hi

    that usually works

  12. Depends on how you are and your social skills. Me.... I'm the guy that can just jump into a big crowd and after a while take the conversation into my own lead. And they end up liking me. It's how i go about it. However, some people are timid and shy so if thats you just let the party come to you. Good luck.  

  13. i've switched schools a number of times. I always try sitting in the back & kind of look around. & then see who the cool kids are. and then slowly approach them. Like hey is this teacher cool? and if they're nice they'll respond & start asking where you're from.F.y.i" guys are nice sometimes"
