How to make new friends in high school?

Do you play any sports? If you do talk to people on that team. This probably isn't what you want to.hear but of you be yourself people willbe like you!

This question is asked quite often, but it's ok! Everyone finds their friends different ways. My suggestion would be, when your in class, try to talk to people there. If your friendly, they will be friendly as well. In which I'm sure you will! You seem like a sweet girl! Once you start talking to people during class, obviously when the teacher isn't teaching. A lot of times teachers will suggest the students to move around and ask for help if needed. During that time, you can check your answers with your friends, and you can ask about what school they came from. Small talk like that, will get you some friends. Also, don't think your going to be the only shy girl there. There is going to be plenty of people that will be in the same boat as you, even guys! Everyone has feelings, don't worry. If they don't want to be your friend, then try to find other people. Once you do, you and your friends can probably hang out or if she is in a club, maybe you can join with her. Good Luck!!

Well, high-school.. everyone is just as scared as you are, remember that. for one reason or another, everyone is nervous in HS. I can tell you one thing, over coming shyness is easier then you think. Think about what the worst case scenario is if you were to talk to someone and it didn't go well.. not a huge deal, there will be plenty more potential friends, but you will miss out on a lot of fun in life if you can't talk to people. I used to be very shy as a kid, now I'm far from it. Everyone has certain insecurities, try to understand that everyone in HS is in the same boat. also, all you need to do is create the illusion of confidence (with out being stuck up) and then you will find your self esteem building more as your able to approach people more.

aww man my first suggestion was the outfit thing but you can also be casual and be like hey do u have a pencil/pen i can borrow. then you would be like thanks im.... try to be casual. everythings awkward the first day. plus theres nothing wrong saying hi im .... everybodys awkward and new to this. and if some people already know each other look for the other ppl who are quiet and shy. mb you have the same interests. after a while u will get comfortable and meet some new people

Just be yourself, you sound really nice, I'm positive people will like you, When I joined high school i was scared too, but don't be it's nothing to worry about, you'll have a great time :D

yeah dont do that. you'll make friends and dont be scared. after you meet one person then they'll introduce you to there other friends and you'll have your own group right away. just start talking to the first person you thinks pretty cool with making new friends in your first period and your right, you cant say "i like your outfit" but you can say " i like your hair or eyes or something like that.

Open up! Have a conversation with someone 9/10 you are gonna have someone to talk to!
