Be yourself, \nmaybe you should be more considerate...\nOR\nBe naughty,\nbecause some girls like naughty boys as they can 'stand-out' among the crowd...

baby girl, take a small step. first have some interaction with strangers. like go to the gym or join a social event. the more you talk to strangers and get to know them, the easier you'll feel of talking. but don't join the popular group @ school or trying to be one. that's just not being true to yourself. the key is to build up your self-confident; that's all really matter to you. right?

hey! you sound nice. I suggest that you just smile a lot at school. People are attracted to smilers! Also, try to do nice things for people. Remember their birthdays, share stuff with them. Keep on being nice! Hopefully that works for ya!

you should just stick with the friends you have.  As time goes by you will get to know the people in your new school better and make more friends.  Don't focus on the quantity of friends but the quality of the friends you do have.  As time passes, i promise you will have more friends as long as you be yourself and not try to hard.  BTW! Popularity is way over rated and as long as you enjoy your teen years and not worry about being popular you will be a happier person.  When you are in college and an adult you will not be friends with those people anyway and you will look back and wonder why to put so much pressure on yourself to have so many friends.  But, to help, join some clubs and participate in school activities, you will meet people that way.

Going to a new school can be a lil scary. But it can be just as exciting! \n\nSometimes making friends can be a challenge - especially if you're shy! So first off - you need to think of who you want as friends. Most people like to make friends with people who like to do the same things as they do.\n\nSmile! When you smile, people think you are nice and easy to talk to. \n\nStart a conversation by saying something nice to someone. "Great answer to the teachers question"\n\nAsk your new friend questions about themselves..."Whose your favorite singer?" Make sure you have plenty to offer a conversation to keep it going. (personal experiences, likes/dislikes...)\n\nA great way to meet new people is to get involved in an extra curricular activity. Wether it be signing up for something in school or outside of school!\n\nAs far as teachers go...it's their job is to teach you and your job as a student is to learn. Most teachers are approachable and willing to help you when you need it. If you are confident - you can introduce yourself but if not - in time they will get to know you and you them!\n\nIf you happen to bump into a bully: Try not to show them fear because they love that.\n\nIf you start feeling scared because someone has hurt you (punch, kicked) tell an adult right away!\n\nOtherwise, just be yourself! You are wonderful in your own ways!\n\nHave fun and good luck...

Be yourself. It is hard to be new in a school. It is hard to make new friends. But it will happen. Find people that share your interests. Don't ever try and be someone your not because your not being fair to yourself.  I have always told my children that if you have one true friend then you are far luckier than someone that is in a crowd and not able to be themselves.  Have confidence in yourself, and always be true to yourself. Good luck at your new school.

Don't listen to people like HANNAH above.  Go for it. You have nothing to lose.  And a little comment about you saying your are not popular.  Just be yourself, years down the road those "popular kids" are going to be the most ordinary people you will ever know.

First off your not a looser.  All you can do is be a good friend to him.  You'll see....when school is out things change.  He may not be as popular the next year.  Your friendship however can only grow and maybe develop into something more.  Good luck.  And....don't talk bad /down about yourself.  You must think possitive.  You have alot to offer some guy and they will be lucky to have you.  DO YOU HEAR ME!

Just hang on there 4 a while, im sure you will find that certain person soon. r there any new kids at your school? try talking 2 them. lots of people make friends like that. and if ther arent any new kids at your school, r there any people who don't have any friends at all? talk 2 them. and if that doesn't work, try talkin 2 a neighbor, if u have 1 ur age.

First i dont thnk you need a boy high on the "popular chain" but if you really want one just start talking tohim in halls, sit next to him in class and ask him questions like "what is the homework again?" or "when is class over" then when you become more friendly start hanging out with him outside classes, who knows maybe he'll ask you out first!

Ok well...I think as long as you try to get over your shyness and whatnot, youll make it. As far as making friends, maybe...are you interested in other things besides basketball? Like, things you could do with other people? Maybe if your school has other clubs or groups or whatever you could join one you like to meet people. Keep your head up and smile at people. Thats a great way to make people feel more comfortable around you. If you always look at the floor and just sort of sit there, its not too encouraging for them you dig? I dunno, maybe ask people to play basketball with you somewhere outside of school?\n\nAs for your getting sad when people talk about you...Eh, dont worry about it. Its just a normal part of High School. Everyone gets talked about at one point or another. Its really nothing to get worked up over believe me. Just do your best to smile and be nice to everyone. When people talk to you, dont give like...one word answers and then look away. Do your best to be friendly and people will most likely return it. I think thats pretty much all the advice I can give you. But if you need more help, feel totally free to contact me and ask. Without bragging too much, I'm very good at helping people with these kinds of problems. So, good luck to you!\n\n\nPeace

ok. i 've got a plan. try to participate in a lot of activities at his school. although you are a 7th grader, there may be activities at his school still. you can become more easily known. like that, some time sooner or later, the boy will come up to you and say, "Hey, you are in the ...*whatever you participated in*" and you will say, "Yeah, I am." ANd then you can began a short introduction there. it won't take too many guts, because he approached you. If he doesn't approach you, then just appraoch him. With things like, "Hi! Do you want to join this club too?" Pretend to be advertising a club. ANd you can say,"This club is really cool becasue of *blank* if you ever want to join contact me I am *say ur name*." It's not that hard.
