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.

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...

Talk to people. Where ever you are, talk. you will find others that you are comfortable with, and have similar opinions. Be yourself, \n\nExamples: Open a door for someone as they leave the store, comment on the weather, the store, if the other person is open to you, conversation will take hold. If a neighbor two houses down is out in the yard, start talking. Ask if they want help with what ever task they may be doing at the time. Or ask for assistants for yourself - people generally like to be needed.\nThe EASY part is finding friends.\nThe HARD thing is keeping them...\nRemember; Every body likes to talk about their self, talk about others, offer their advise and experiences........Just don't go out of the comfort zone! To know what that is, think of subjects that you would be un-easy talking to a stranger about! ... ... You can take it from here!\n\nSee how easy that was? If we had been talking in person, you would have the start of a new friendship!

How to make friends!\n\nBelieve it or not....... You can make more friends in a shorter time by becoming interested in other people \nrather than trying to get other people interested in you.\n\nSit back and think about it! Why should people be interested in you, unless you are first interested in them?\n\n \n\nMaking Friends\nMaking friends can be difficult, especially these days with so many peer pressures. You're the odd one out if your clothes are different, your hair is the wrong cut or colour, your shoes are bought on a budget and don't display the designer label, you happen to enjoy listening to the wrong kind of music, your folks are not as trendy as they should be, etc....etc...\n\nLet me tell you a secret!\nIf you want to develop a more pleasing personality and make friends.......... become genuinely interested in other people. Show kindness........ you may be wearing the latest designer label clothes, the hottest brand shoes and the coolest jewelry but if you display sourness and selfishness you'll have a battle ahead of you to make good friends.\n\nSmile\nSmile.....smile and continue to smile. It costs nothing, enriches those who receive it, happens in a flash but the memory lasts forever, it creates happiness in the home and classroom. A smile can not be bought, begged or borrowed, it comes from the heart. If you want other people to like you....... make the other person feel important - and do it sincerely!\n\nArguments\nSome people thrive on arguments, it gives them a sour disposition and creates a depressing atmosphere around them. The only way to get the best of an argument is to avoid it. If you are wrong admit it quickly and apologize. If the other person continues in an argumentative manner, excuse yourself and walk away. Don't bite..... as the saying goes.\n\nDoing the wrong thing!\nChoose your friends carefully. If others try to persuade you to smoke, take illicit drugs, steal, gamble, fight etc... dare to say NO. Doing the wrong thing is the quickest way to lose friends.... honest, good and upright friends. Stay on the right track and be a respected citizen with a sincere reputation. Remain on the right side of the law! Deep down in your heart you know what is right and good. You know when to say 'no' and you know when its time to walk away.\n\nBe Strong!\nBeing mentally strong is not always easy but let me assure you..... the more you practice it the easier it becomes. Soon those who thought they were trendy will want to dress like you, talk like you and be with you because you have a personality which is different. People like being different! Think about it.... if you dressed and acted like 10 million other people, are you different? NO........ So be yourself and don't give in to those horrifying peer pressures.\n\nDanger!\nIt is dangerous to follow a crowd. Crowds get lost in even bigger crowds. By being an individual with your own personality you can achieve the very best experiences in your life. You may not ever have many friends but let me tell you that it is better to have one good friend than ten dishonest friends who will stab you in the back at the very first opportunity that arises. You're treading on dangerous ground if you mix with the wrong type of 'friends'.\n\nGood luck

Join some young professional clubs like the Junior Chamber of Commerce.  Try http://www.friendfinder.com I'll be your friend.  I'm looking to make about 50 new friends this year so we can all get together and party year around and go places.  Sounds like fun, give me a holler.\nScott

Find the things you enjoy either separately or together and join some clubs - a bowling league, poker night, ballroom dancing, gourmet cooking classes - whatever you like. When you join these activities you will keep yourself occupied even if you don't make new friends, but meeting people that enjoy the same things as you do will no doubt end up in new friendships. :)
