Making new friends at high school?? HELP!?

Question

Ohkay I started high school two days ago as a freshman and I feel reallyyy alone.

A whole bunch of people that went to my middle school go to my high school now but I want to meet NEW people.

My boyfriend got into this super smart school so we'll be at different schools this year.

This school has about 3,200 students its pretty big but I know my way around from being a J.V. cheerleader this year. Im just really shy and intmidated about making new friends

Help???

Answer 1

It's unrealistic to expect to have made new friends in just two days.

Just start chatting with this or that person who seems nice and reasonably compatible. If you start a conversation with a shy person, that person will be grateful.

Give yourself time.

Answer 2

Don't be scared; it is completely normal to feel overwhelmed when you are new to such a big school.  (My high school had over 4000 students, so I feel your pain).  Strike up a conversation with a person in your classes and consider asking if they want to eat lunch with you.  There are bound to be a lot of people feeling the same way you do, so go ahead and make them into friends!  Another good way to meet people is to join clubs.  That way you can find out who is interested in things you like and then you have an instant topic of conversation and commonality.  Also, when you are meeting someone new, ask them questions.  People love to talk about themselves and then you can see if they are friend material.  Good luck with academics and friendships this year!

Answer 3

be confident and outgoing. say hi and make conversation with everyone. look approachable to people, and just be happy. friends will come to you. give it time, its only been two days. :)

Answer 4

well you won't make new friends unless you don't try. :]

i'm the same way whenever i want to meet new people.

just be yourself&&introduce yourself around to people that appeal to you.

hope that helps some. good luck!
