To keep the other person interested in a conversation don't talk about yourself too much. Ask questions to get to know the person better, talk about any interests you have, classes, guys/girls, parents, etc. Become genuinely interested in the other person.\n\nThere are lots of ways to start a conversation; keeping yourself informed on current events, staying involved in activities, and keeping a mental list of good topics of discussion are excellent ways to break the ice. Ask simple, friendly questions about the person. \n\nFor other topics to talk about you can search the internet about things that you, or the people you will be talking with, are interested in. If you like games, perhaps search for the latest information about the x-box 360 games, pc games, ps3, revolution, etc. If you like tv-shows, movies, books, etc. Jokes are also great and the internet has lots of them. \n\nAlso remember that body language is very important! Most people don’t even realize it but most times you’ll already have made a lot of decisions about the person by their body language and tone, before you’re more than a minute into a conversation. You want to be cool, calm, and collected; act like the person is an old friend, even if you’ve never talked to them before, and make sure to look them in the eye. Instead of focusing on how uncomfortable you feel, prepare yourself by thinking of the issues that interest you most and what you would like to discuss about a particular subject. A little preparation can go a long way.\n\nPay Attention to what the other person says! This one is Extremely useful as you can bring it up at a later time and the other person will be surprised and pleased that you remembered.\n\nContinue to speak to everyone you know regularly. If you are walking and see someone you haven’t talked to in a while, stop for a moment and talk to them. It does not have to be a long conversation, just say hello, see how they are doing and if anything is wrong. You would be surprised by how little effort is required to win the friendship of others when you require nothing of them.\n\nBe nice and generally try to end the conversation on a good note. You don't have to make sure the other person has a great time Every Single conversation, but you don't want to think of all the petty arguements they've had with you.\n\nArguements... Don't. There are Very Few 'good' arguements. "The only way to get the berst of an arguement is to avoid it."\nIf you're wrong, admit it.\n\nDO NOT critize the person, or a friend, when talking to the person. If you want to point out something they did wrong, try to point out something similar you did wrong.\n\nSmile! Not a forced smile, the person you're talking to will be able to tell the difference. And you don't have to be an overly happy hyper-active person. Just smile naturally and, if you can, be somewhat happy. Remembering good times with your friends/family can help.\n\nLet the other person do a lot of the talking and be a good listener. (Somewhat stated in my first advice, ask questions, talk about interests the other person has. Answer questions sincerly.)\n\nHonestly make the person you're talking to feel important. You don't want to fake this one or do it too often, but if you honestly think they did something well, give them that praise.\n\nIf you want more advice, there are a couple good books that Will actually help. How to Win Friends and Influence People, is probably one of the best ones. It's an old book, but trust me, it's just as useful today as it was when it was written.\n\nI had one friend tell me recently that the way they dealt with being shy was to convince herself that talking was a competition with her own insecurities as the enemy. Thinking that way and forcing herself not to give in to her fears. It must've worked wonders because I never would've thought of her as having ever been shy.

1.  Decide who you'd like to be friends with (I.E. popular people, gothics, jocks, etc)\n2. At lunchtime, ask if you can sit at their table, in an empty seat. If there isn't an empty seat, or they say no, sit at another table near them.\n3. Some cliques cannot be infiltrated fast. Some can be infiltrated easily. Pick one!\n4. If this all fails, start to dress like them, and say hello in the hallway.\n5. If that fails, throw a party and invite everyone at your school. Then you'll have an exuse to talk to everybody you want to be friends with.\n6. If EVERYTHING fails, be friends with people who really want to be friends with you. They might be more fun than you thought. \n\n* Be nice. No one likes a complete snob. Until you get the ins with the group you want to be a member of, its important not to offend anyone.\n* Try making friends with people in one of your classes that are the member of your chosen clique first. It's a lot easier to ask someone for the math homework than to randomly strike up a conversation in the hallway. This could give you the access point you need to get in to the group. \n\n* This isn't TOTALLY foolproof. Deal.

The best way for you to make friends is to let yourself go. What I mean by that is, you should be social. Dont be afraid to be yourself. 99.5% of the people like others for who they really are. And you may be surprised by how much you may have in common.

Friendships are not things one acquires, like clothes or books.\n\nOften they are found in the most unlikely of places - and between two people who meet only by chance and make a connection.\n\nYour best bet, to make friends, is to first decide what it is you like to do and simply go do it. You can meet others with the same interests, such as biking clubs or sports clubs or bars or whatever it is you are into. \n\nHowever, some of my best friends were made by simply bumping into someone and striking up a conversation with them.
