I need a Better Social life?

I'm am in 8th grade and i recently lost my friends. 4 of them moved away and then we all started to drift apart The others are mean to me so i don't want to be around them I have 1 friend left from that group but we aren't close anymore we just have trouble communicating. I need help finding a new group and to help her become more social with other people too. I have a lot of friends but i'm not close with any of them and they are from a bunch of different groups i just want a group to join but i feel like i am being annoying. I am super shy and quiet and i find it hard to talk to people.

Update:

I never had many friends through elementary school i had friends in 6 and half of 7th grade thats it. I am really nice to everyone and dont make up rumors or anything

    Join 2 or 3 clubs in school like school paper, yearbook, government. You don't have to stay in all of them, you might click with one better than the rest.

    The shared context makes it easy to talk and get to know people. Clubs tend to meet regularly so members get to know each other a little more easily than if you have to do it on your own.

    You could also become a tutor if you're good in any particular subject. Another good way to get to know people though it would be on a one-on-one basis.

    Look at the mirror and see that you also have what other people have. Sometimes you have something better than what they have. So no need to be shy. I think the only way to get rid of quiet is practice. Try to get into more conversation. By the time you'll find out what to speak and slowly you're not gonna be quiet again. It's not hard to talk to people. Sometimes there are many of them that is really easy to communicate with even if we are a quiet person. Just practice dear, get into the conversation.

    Join some sort of group. But don't say you'r there to make friends. What ever it is that you join act like you'r serious about it. If someone asks you why you joined tell them it's because you where curious or interested in what ever the group is. If you act like you take it seriously they will either be impressed and want to be friends. Or a bit put off by you'r dedication. Either way you'll have a window of opportunity.
