How does a shy girl make friends?
I'm 14 and in 9th grade. I just moved to a new town and I need to make some friends. I'm really shy and get really nervous when I talk to someone new. I don't want them to think I'm stuck up and won't talk to them I'm just scared. Plz help me!

Ok try to think confident. Say you don't have anything to loose, but a lot to gain, hint hint new friends. Hold your head high (not too high!) and smile. Go up to a group of people, or just one person, that look friendly and say hi. Make eye contact and say that your new in town. Tell them your name and talk a little about your interests.
After you do that try to make friends with people your sitting next to in class, or your partner for a project. Lastly join a club or something like that and meet new people.
Good luck! Wish ya a great 9th grade!

It's possible she has serious feelings of guilt about her own body, possibly the result of religious overtones she's been exposed to. Accept right now that you won't be able to force her to change, or to rush her before she's ready. So, options: 1. Stick with the status quo, and wait. 2. Drop her and find another woman, see if that works out better for you. 3. Go see strippers once in a blue moon to fill that void, then meet up with her, let her take care of your business while you close your eyes and fantasize. Sorry if this seems crass, but as long as you list all possibilities, then and only then can you come to terms with "there ain't no magic bananas" to make the impossible happen.

Join some kind of club, or sport. It's the easiest way to get to know people in a smaller group rather than to be with a huge group all at once. Or talk to people on your bus/ walk to and from school, etc. Or are there any other kids in your neighborhood your age? It might be easier to start one-on-one.

I'm the same way I've lived in the same place for 14 years and I only started making friends this year. I just find other kind of outcasty people and we start to talk eventually a friendship will blossom.

Well, to be honest I had this problem too. I'm still quite shy, but it's all a matter of just loosening up. Try not to think so much. Just relax, clear your mind and start up a random conversation. Don't talk about the weather or anything. Ask about interests. Then focus in on a specific interest of theirs. (you may even have that interest in common!) share a personal experience. Crack jokes, etc. etc. etc... Just be yourself mainly. Don't try and be something you think they want.

ok ok i wwent through this about a year ago
and this might sound stupid well real stupid but it actualy works COFFEE !!
it will get you outa your shell and give yiou unexpected confidence it did for me and i was that girl in class that sat at the back of the rooma nd had basicly no friends now i go tio high school and i have a pack of friends
but the only weird bit is that people say hi to you and know your name but you have no idea who they are but thats kinda fun tbh : ) : ) oh and change your hair or somthing to a bold cut and colour thats what i did also get into a type of music it give you somthing to talk about while your making friend :) :)

i guess the best thing to do is just talk to people. if your assigned a buddy from your homeform teacher or someone from a group project at school then just talk to them at first about school/the assignment, then just keep talking to them! doesn't have to be face to face, could be on msn! but try to conquer your shy-ness!

well you should be more open to people and try to be friendly to everyone even people who annoy the hell outta you. Also you should act charming but still be yourself always. dont try to be fake just to fit in or be popular or watever but just rember to be yourself and my last advice is definetly find common ground with people that definetly how you make friends.
