Surround yourself with friends who are good people.  Not the ones who are selfish and only care about themselves.  Be yourself and don't give in to the pressure, in the long run none of it matters!

Ny advice it to seek out good friends for both academic activitis and social events.\n\nI think in the long run good friends will be far more valuable than a bit of popularity.

Depending on our situation meeting people to become friends with can be very easy or extremely difficult. Clubs, local organizations activities, schools, church, libraries, book stores, gyms, jogging, parks, beach, lakes, malls, etc. can all be places to meet new people. Once you’ve met them talking and keeping the person interested is probably the most important thing.\n\nTo keep the other person interested in a conversation don't talk about yourself too much. Ask simple friendly 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.\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, pets, etc. A few jokes from time to time can also be a great ice breaker.\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 arguments they've had with you.\n\nArguements... Don't. There are Very Few 'good' arguments. "The only way to get the berst of an argument 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 sincerely.)\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

I really recommend joining some clubs that relate to your interests.  Even so, you will have to step outside your comfort zone a bit and strike up conversations with people.  Don't wait for others to make all the effort as friendships take two working on it to develop.

Just be you.  Even if you think that you is not cool, there is someone who is probably like you and will end up being your friend.

i have learned the hard way, friendships do not last forever, but family you will have forever.\nJust be yourself, and someday  you will get a best friend.

You know what.. you should not ask people to be friends with you out of kindness or, a species of that, out of pity.  Be yourself, be nice and you will attract friends who are there not because they want to be kind to you but because they enjoy your company.

well if the reasons were justifiable then what you need is to do is start in a totally different circle then the the one they are in.If you have any interests go and join a group that is in your area.From there you could find a new friend.

Just be a good friend.  You must be that already, otherwise you wouldn't be concerned in knowing what to do for her.  Sometimes just being there is enough.
