Even though the other kids around you may seem like they are so different that you can not relate to them.  Try and stretch yourself out of your comfort zone. Try and talk to them, ask questions. Like how many siblings do you have.  Ask them who sings that song.  (if they seem nice and not mixed up with the wrong crowd)  Then you may have a wonderful new friend waiting for you in a surprising new social group.  You may find everything happens for a reason and making some new friends with different backgrounds and different interest may be why at this time you've had one door close on some old friendships to open another door for some new friendships. Look up and say hi to your new friend tomorrow.

i know some magazines will have pen-pal programs. if you're young enuff, talk to your teacher about maybe setting up a foreign pen-pal exchange system w/ kids ur age in another country (who go to school). u mite want to make sure its a country that speaks ur language tho.\n\ni set off a balloon w/ a letter attched to it b4 and got a pen-pal. not my age, but it was nice to be able to write to her for guidance.

Yes, it is very hard.  I moved a LOT when I was a kid..  three different schools JUST in the 6th grade!  When you are that young, you try to keep in touch with your friends, but it usually doesn't work very well.  So each time I moved, I tried to find one person with whom I could 'connect' and be friends with.  It didn't always work very well.  The best thing to do is to be yourself.  Be friendly and you will attract friends.  Don't let the fact that you have to try again for new friends distract you from school work.  Concentrating on the school work will help you relate to the other kids on something you ALL have to deal with .   Good luck.

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 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. For 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. Jokes are also great and the internet has lots of them. Make sure to ask simple, friendly questions about the person.\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 to

You need to know what YOU like, go to the places you want to go to and not where your friends want to go, in other words don't be led to places you would not visit by choice, go to the places you like, do the things you like, take part or spectate sports or events you like, go there and keep going to those places you want to be at, Why? chances are the other people there are like you, and those people in that circle all have one thing in common with you straight away, they are all there like you through choice, their choice.\nnow make friends with some of those, hopefully at least its somewhere you are comfortable, because you want to be there. and so do they therefore you are all in the same circle, so the chances of meeting someone who likes stuff you like, are far greater. good luck.

When I was 18 years old I worked in a deli with a man in his 70s. He told me the friends I have now from high school will be the only true, real, close friends you'll have for the rest of your life. Bring some of your old friends over, so you'll be more comfortable in making new friends.

Go to places that express things about yourself. If you like art, go to a museum. If you like music, go to a concert, or record shop. At these places you'll meet people with common interests.\n\nSay hi to at least one person per day. Odds are you'll make friends with at least one perosn within a month.\n\nAsk people questions about themselves. Showing interest in another person shows that you genuinely care about there hopes and concerns.

I would set up an account online to make friends, put yourself into a local category so that you can make friends in your area fast. I have this same problem because a lot of the people my age (17) are not serious about college and usually do a lot of drugs and like to party a lot, where as i would rather watch a movie, go out shopping and dancing and stay clear of the things like drugs etc that get your mind of track. \nGood luck to you. Be a friend and you will make friends easily. You sound like a very nice person I am sure you will have no problems making friends.

If you are a young person (school age) then this is definitely NOT the place to meet people. There are too many potentially bad people who take advantage of you.\n\nFind friends at school or in your neighbourhood or amongst friends of your family.\nStay safe!

Online. If you want to meet people just for the sake of friendships - meeting people online is perhaps the best bet. For instance, on Yahoo! Answers or in any of the Yahoo! Chatrooms that Dr. Checko suggested. You can always meet new people in online forums, and since Answers works the same way like a forum - you can also meet new people here! Isn't that great!?\n\nGet a 360° account and start connecting with people you like. Eventually, you'll have a bunch of friends you can communicate with. I did that and now I'm building a friend list on my 360° account.
